The Colony - A Daring, New, Survival Experiment *

[trainlova12]

hey what was this edited with? AMAZING VIDEO!

[KaiserWilhelmIV]

So watching people 'fake it' and the same people acting like they are in an apocalypse makes for a show? Why even have a show like this? Why not just say "hey this is a survival ripoff show because we are too pathetic to invent something innovative" This pretending to be surviving when after the shoot they get all you can eat cheeseburgers is a total waste of time. To make it more interesting they should have them eating at shakeys pizza buffet after each episode to make a mockery of this farce.

[KaiserWilhelmIV]

The worst show on TV. How the hell can idiots be so stupid as to not bother looking at the cameras, traveling past the stupid fake sets, or resort to killing each other or committing violence if they really figured it was real. I am really sure these idiots didn't have to sign a fucking waver in case they broke a leg. They know that crap is a TV show, because if they didn't it would be like kidnapping and once the show ended the producers would be sued. If it was real they would all be dead 100%

[CaliforniaBlonde000]

@KaiserWilhelmIV The people in the the show know it is fake. They know they'l; be rescued if they starve. They know they are not allowed to kill outsiders or be killed. All the same, it is a survival challenge.

[DoubleAssClown]

@KaiserWilhelmIV They know its an experiment dumbass.

[KaiserWilhelmIV]

@DoubleAssClown Yes the actors know they will be eating lobster at 12 noon as the craft services truck comes rolling by and chef Jaque prepares his specialty, these washed up actors who could not get a real acting job on a real movie set get some steady work, while reading papers on Jobs.com for a better paying job. They not only know its an "experiment" the fucking show is fake and stupid and has no fucking point.

[KottnMouth29]

ever since ive played fallout3 ive wanted to live like this.. lol

[Jacksparrow1869]

were do i sign up....4 it i,ll be great for it

[CFrobertmartin]

a better version would be have no camera men just remote control cameras and cameras mounted in hats. Dont have people have organised attacks, have 3 groups in a junk yard in the desert an x amount of food water tools and bits. Have the teams build machines to get to point b for whatever reason, the rules are no physical fighting but trade and stealing is allowed but if caught stealing you are shot ( if person finds you and has fake gun and not in your base area) and removed from game for a day

[CFrobertmartin]

for getting to place you get fuel for journey ex 100 gallons to go though desert ( sand ) forest ( mud and dirt ) and road for endurance coerce 250 miles though all three areas must think of weight and things needed for repairs ex, teams leave at any time or until food runs out resalting in fail, cash prise of 20k per person on team.

[Hashishin13]

This show is crap, they should call it a "survival dramatization" as half the time the people are either insanely bi-polar and over-reacting to everything or (more likely) they were told to ham it up a little and are over acting.

I heard that the discovery network was going to be bought by Oprah and I knew it would go down hill but this is pathetic.

[Rulerofwax24]

are you that retarded? That is completely normal to act in that situation! If you were in it, for some reason....., you would end up killing people in their sleep. If you actually watched, they tell you, and give you the reasons why people react how they do. It is a lot of stress.

[CuttClean00]

nah they wouldnt half act it its like real world they have a crew but let the people do what they can its as real as it gets seriously.

[WutLawl]

actually in one episode they sent in some people and instructed them to not harm the people like most reality shows there gonna nagg on the peeps for drama XD

[DaggerFynn]

Pretty cool concept for a show. But it is a "show."

I wouldn't be surprised if half of the scenarios or episodes are half way acted out.

[Heromedic18]

What if there was a real apocalypse while they were filming this lol

[kaldicuct]

@Heromedic18 be an oh shit situation right there

[lilpigboy89]

TANK!!!!

[altoids79762]

they should put average ppl not ppl with degrees in the like young ppl

[bobchub2]

HUNTER'S POUNCED ZOEY!

[PsionNinja]

If i were at "The Colony" I would mess with that sign and take off the "y". Some\post-apocalyptic mischief for ya. :)

[CandelarioGaIvan]

Tell ya what how about a show on picking up women all I need is a few billion bucks, a bunch of hot cars and lets say Alex O'Loughlin, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Jared Padalecki, and Justin Chambers as the team.

Call the show, Struggling to pick up Women

[CandelarioGaIvan]

Well hell if I could hand pick a team of freaking professionals who

1 had suffered no trauma that results in such a disaster such as family loss

2 are willing to cooperate with each other

3 have no fear of any permanent injury or death

4 know the outcome will be positive.

HELL YA !!!! It wouldn't take any effort at all.

[spiderx]

The computer engineer lost his son in a car accident when he was 16. They weren't that willing to cooperate with each other, from what I've seen and there was fear of injury or death, the marauders are putting that fear into them all the time. I think it went for only two months with many people losing weight, so it sounds like it falls short of the 10 weeks that it was planned.

[CandelarioGaIvan]

spiderx.

Loosing someone at an earlier time in ones life isn't the same thing. Most people have gone through such tragedies.

It is a question of reacting even while under such stress. Not to mention the hand picked team of experts. This is more along the lines of a stranded away team from Star Trek as to just some random people

[GameReviews2008]

its a frickin show you cant simulate all that

[CandelarioGaIvan]

GameReviews2008

I understand that everything can't be simulated however, they basiclly have a Star Trek Away Team.

What they should have gotten was some misfits

[thelastspaceman]

It is a post apocalypse show, only the strong or useful survive

[CULEX0R]

this show is pitiful

[codygautreau]

I wanu see this show!! Do they have to like rebuild civilization? .. O_O is it a PR0l\l !?1

[whaddup109]

does this show involve zombies? that would just ruin it, it looks pretty good but if there is zombies, it'll be an epic fail :D

[zeropwns123]

nope no zombies

[starbust1231]

people are forgeting disease that is touch spreadable

swine flu

[codygautreau]

LMFAO, fail.. swine flu is not "touch spreadable"

unless it's some sort of skin infection or STD but definately not swine flu. swine flu is just bacteria sent from one organism to another

eg. somebody could have swine flu and u could give them a hug, however if they didn't have any of the bacteria on there body there wouldn't be anything to give you, thus you remain flu-free.

[starbust1231]

ohhh srry then im not that good with diseases but swine flu spread rly fast when it came out like

1 day:34 infected

2 day:89 infected

3 day:106 infected

that all im saying

[SPARTS3000]

there are no virus in existence that can destroy humanity the only virus that is a threat to mankind is aids, and plague,

[armenac92]

well there we se.. plague aint a virus its a name of a group of bakterias.

[thelastspaceman]

Whats about SPACE GERMS!

[TexasDistortion]

The End Draws Nigh

[Semperfi1098]

it starts tonight at 10pm Eastern Pacific time....atleast that is my time zone i dont know about yer time zone

[dangerjuices]

is this a preview of whats going to happen to the world?

[BeneathTheSand]

Looks sooo post-apocalyptic......cool!

[Claizen]

wheres the zombies? :D

[Ben3156]

We should start a petition to bring zombies onto the show.

[Waterclaw]

I wana watch this show, sounds intresting

[diamondue]

i bet that life after people lauched this...

[leit117]

Dude. Keep that bullshit out of here. If you're not going to comment on the video don't post. Everybody report Fadedflower's post as spam.

[filiak]

who is working on these promo edits and gfx? great work!!

[rittbo06]

Skeet,Skeet,Skeet,Skeet,Skeet.­..ohhh!

[HaloxLive]

this looks cool

[kotk05]

I just poo'ed my pants, I can't wait to see this show.

[c0linaf]

that look like a cool show

[aswigert2]

wow i just found a list of the worst diseases of mankind. the black plague is #3. aids is #5. and SMALLPOX is #1.

smallpox- 300 million deaths in the 20th century alone

aids-25 million deaths total

black plague-estimated at around 75 million deaths total

[meepthegreat]

Thanks! Just set it to record on my DVR. Looks... interesting.

[robinkoeman]

Hold on. On the website it sais they're going to be attacked(!?) by a 'motorcycle-riding thug' and a stranger trying to steal supplies..?

How can these people (The Colonists) take it serious when they know it's just an experiment.

[BigSean1992]

that looks AWESOME ima set it up to record NAUW

[radimaida]

i do not know if true but wasent AIDs manmade and not a natral disease i remember reading that america made it as a biologicol bomb they tested it in africa but it backfired

[DannysCam]

people allways said it was people having sex with the reeses monkeys or gettting there poo thrown at them that gave them aids not sure.

[haruhism23]

the t virus finally got out a turned every one to zombies i fell bad for the survers unless the find a rifle and shotgun XD

[Mo13ert]

yeah lol 2012

[InuyashaSIT01]

know one knows what will happen people are just paranoid i believe

[Twonk420]

Too bad it's all staged. =/ That's how every "reality" series on TV is. It's all horribly faked. I bet these tards have scripts & everything.

I'VE GOTTA WATCH IT!

[kavuss]

this going to be starting in Canada at the same time? I know sometimes the good stuff starts in the states

[ttjjac1110]

it's like they're preparing us for the END or something...

[AsianPrideX]

Swine flu......

[niiidar]

Throw a few bears into that place and I'll watch it.

[Pasta070]

There's something about apocolyptic settings that fasinates people.

[frostythesn0wman]

They need zombies...

[confinedspace2006]

this has the potential to be a great show, all they need to know to break into the territory of greatness is throw a few bears, lions and tigers into the colony to really liven it up, i'd watch it if they did that, as it stands i'll probably give it a miss

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

This show has a desturbing lack of zombies...

[loutheman13]

@DidntKnowWhatToPut1 well that cas zombies arnt always the result of boioloical disaters. example the black plague was one but dident have any zombies. zombies would of been awesome thou

[RenegadeDaem0n]

@DidntKnowWhatToPut1 Its a post-apocolyptic world. no zombies. its like fallout3. radiation, not viruses.

[haunclesam]

this has potential o be good, but I'm afraid theil f*ck it up :-/

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Too bad all the good "rebuilding" footage is X rated.

[Honda4wheelin]

bahahah I get it

[dustymountain]

This would be such an awesome show, if they didn't use those survivor type interview things after ever little conversation, it breaks the ice >_>

[nadiaboo1]

Survival in a CITY is futile. Nature is where it's at, and I pity the one who doesn't take advantage of it's life giving gift's.  I can hunt, trap, and feed my whole family if I had to. Can you?

[sugarpuddin88]

Humans are frightened little monkey's that can't help but throw feces at each other!

[gamemasterrusty]

Hmm...you're either a misanthrope, or a snail with the cognitive fauculties to operate a computer.

[EnforcedCrowd]

wait...

your not a human?

[MYTHECIES]

sry I meant alone

[MYTHECIES]

I know I'm not allow but is someone or something trying to tell us something.

In the OCCULT the only way for spell or curse to work is to make it known.

The best place to hide is in plain site.

[textiles1]

looks good :D

[JuzDotA]

Mmm.. do they reproduce the next generation?

[XplodingGuy]

looks sick.

[killer2611]

is it true that there is a gang of big black people that try to rob all the survivors stuff and anal rape them? because thats what somebody told me.

[Clone1260whoOWNS]

Dumb ass...

[killer2611]

why do u have to be a prick? im just asking if its true or not...

[Clone1260whoOWNS]

No you moron it's not true I bet a fuggin inbred racist told you that bs......There is nothing like thats going happen.

[sniper6081]

The premise is that a virus wiped almost everyone out? No virus can or will ever have that kind of power. Could you come up with anything less cliche please.

[eLLriDe420]

hmmm. then why is the threat of billions of deaths via a chemical attack the biggest and most likly threat to human civilization?

[sniper6081]

Because it's not. Stop believing all the government fear mongering propaganda. There is no boogey man. The biggest real threat to human civilization right now is big government and religious fundamentalism. Y'know, real stuff.

[eLLriDe420]

you know nothing about war, do you boy?

[sniper6081]

War? Who's at war? Well, if you want to go that route, the only people that have deadly bio weapons are powerful governments in first world countries. Even if they used those they would not be capable of the wide spread magnitude of death portrayed in this stupid show. The most deadly epidemic ever is AIDS. It's killed 30 million people and another 40 million live with HIV. No other virus is or has ever been capable of this because their ways of infection aren't as efficient as HIV.

[aswigert2]

what about the Black Death (plague)? killed 100 million people and wiped out almost 60% of Europe between 1350-1400ad. only a 50 year period. only 33 million HAVE lived with AIDS. only 2.2 million people HAVE been killed by AIDS total. AIDS is not the worst virus

[sniper6081]

Wow are your statistics fucked up. 2.2 million died in 2007 alone. 30 Million have died from it over it's thirty year history. The black plague is a bad example. It refers to a time when good records were not kept. It's debatable just how many people died from it. Do you have any other examples that have more definite statistics?

[epicenur]

Wow, they estimated 30-60% of Europe's population died because of the Bubonic Plague (Black Death)

30 million people is only 10% of the USA's Population.

USA's population- 300 million

Europe's population- 700 million

[sniper6081]

Oh my fuck. How many times do I have to say that statistics from that era aren't reliable. Not only that, but Europe's population wasn't 700 million back then. That's what it is today. And most historians believe that it was only 25 million that died from the plague. Not 100million. That's why AIDS is so infamous, because it's the only disease to out do the plague. Where the hell do you people get your facts from? Wikipedia?

[epicenur]

Holy crap. I wasn't talking about population back then.

I was saying if they didn't have a treatment for it, and it was going on right now, it would be way worse than aids.

Black plague is worse because it's pretty easy to get it other than banging a girl/boy with aids or get blood from a person who had aids. Also an estimated 8.33 million died each year in a 4 year period.

[sniper6081]

How do you know if it would be worse now? Even if we didn't have a treatment for plague our medical science is so much more advanced and we have a much better understanding of diseases and how they work that we'd be able to issue a response to effectively impede the spread of the disease. Why it was so bad was partially due to the fact that they had no clue what they were doing. And even if 8.33 million a year in a four year period is accurate that still puts it in tandem with AIDS.

[epicenur]

The problem here is what's the WORST DISEASE OF ALL TIME. Maybe if you give Aids a little more time it'll be the worst (hopefully not), but right now it's the black plague.

[sniper6081]

But Aids is the worst disease of all time.  By our best estimates the black plague killed 25 million people. AIDS has already killed 30 million people and is still going strong.

[epicenur]

Wrong, in 1400 it killed 75 million to 100 million.

[sniper6081]

That's not even possible. That's around the entire population of Europe back then. If it really killed that many people there would be no one left in Europe. Historians place their best estimates around 25 million over a four year period. Then it died out and the deaths stopped.

[epicenur]

It reduced the world's population, Sorry didn't make that clear.

[sniper6081]

That doesn't change the number of deaths.

[kthelmir]

Yeah but there is a cure for AIDS - a guy in Germany had stem cell therapy for his leukemia which also cured his AIDS (I know, how unlucky can you get?) because the donor was resistant to the virus. Odd but true.

[sniper6081]

There's a cure for plague as well. However, since this "cure" for AIDS is not yet mainstream it's still dangerous.

[nodakim13]

You can avoid AIDS,you cant avoid the black plague.

[sniper6081]

You can avoid the plague. All you have to do is stay away from rats and those that have it. With AIDS you don't know. Somebody you're with could have it and they might not even know it.

[epicenur]

Not really, you can spread it by touch.

[sniper6081]

No, you can't. Ebola is the only thing that can be spread by touch. That's what made it so dangerous and that's also what made it so easy to contain. Plaque was spread by rats and fleas, not by touch.

[epicenur]

If you had a cut...

[sniper6081]

No. See, the plague was transferred from rats to people through rat fleas. The fleas would bite a rat, then bite a person giving them the plague. You technically can't get it from other people through touch. The fleas could jump from one person to the next, but you won't get it if you touch someone with the plague.

[epicenur]

I can't talk right now because I'm soo damn tired. Just stop, really pointless.

[sniper6081]

Whatever.

[bangbaba2]

what are you talking about?

[TacticalDude2]

Use a damn condom and you wont have to get AIDS!

[armenac92]

the spanish flu killed 100million people and the 1/3 of worlds population was infected.

mallpox killed 300 million people. and the black death killed 1/3 of europs population in some cuntreys up to 70% of the people died. so aids is well you see.

[flamertamer15]

It's smallpox...and it's still killing people in other countries. The black death is present in other countries as well. Aids may be contracted by over 2/3 of the population of Africa by 2010.

[armenac92]

cant be... there are almoust 1 billion people in africa so 2/3 would be 660millions and that a number way larger then 25millions.

and yes it was smallpox.

[armenac92]

coman man the spanish flu killed 100 millions and mallpox killed 300 millions and you talking about 25 millions?!

[aswigert2]

im sorry about the aids statistics. i understand they r wrong now. i misinterpreted what it siad. a total of 25million people have died of aids since 1981.

[sniper6081]

Don't worry. No harm done.

[ESAMMEX]

your statistics are messed up. Not to mention the fact that the Black Death wasn't caused by a virus. It was caused by a bacterium.

[sniper6081]

First of all, I know that. Second of all, what does that have to do with anything? Why does the difference between viruses and bacteria all of a sudden change the threat level of the diseases? All that matters are the numbers which are sketchy at best.

[aswigert2]

i get ur point. i was just using it as an example.i meant. "it isnt the worst sickness" is that good enough?

[marioluigi321]

uh the atomic bomb took out almost all of americas electricity have you seen what nuclear wars can do now as we speak the terrorists have fingured how to make a nuclear bomb don't want a nuclear bomb drop down into yur anus now would you. also there has never been a nuclear war if there was this is exactly what would happen search nuclear war see the damage it can do.

[aswigert2]

i already know about the potential of a nuclear war. if anyone shot a missile towards the USA then the gov would declare DEFCON 1 and shoot our missiles at the original antagonist and its allies. creating a domino effect essentially destroying every body. the scary thing is it would all happen in less than an hour. i know everyone, we can shoot down alot of rockets. but not all of them.

[altoids79762]

and your mom she could eat us any second now

[marioluigi321]

a nuclear war.

[sniper6081]

I really wouldn't worry about nukes. Even at the height of the Cold War nobody used them. I doubt anyone will use them now. It's not practical and none of the nuclear powers are in war or are interested in using nukes. The only people I could see using them are those in the Middle East, but they would only use them to attack their neighbors. Even if they had nukes capable of striking outside the Middle East they would get shot down before they reached their targets.

[DRUNKCANADIAN]

This is stupid...its entertainment, and not "scientific" despite its claims to be. This is one show I will likely not be watching on Discovery...although I will check it out...I could be proven wrong.

[Herooftimex]

this is rather lame, just another dramatic series...

[j4k0b86]

Half Life 2 in Real Life, ftw

[myorli29]

Whoa, looks awesome!!! :D

[iFlyHlGH]

First and best thing to do in survival. Repopulate the earth. So drop those pants and get down to business, now its gonna be like a party on 1979

[PS3Cakeman9]

I lol'd xD

[DrPepperKid14]

this is a pointless show

[aznlove251misan]

they should call this 6 for dead

i know right my lame @ss

[swaroop1789]

nice!! really nice....

[phatman04024]

Looks good

[nedimyer1122]

I would do that!

[Frankfurter338]

Interesting

[GeanJin]

looks fun

[luisalanyav]

looks awesome

[Kingkong9099]

I need to see this as soon as it`s air`ed on the discovery channel.
