They have their differences, I think this current season is clearly better than the first though. You really can't expect everyone in the group to have some sort of important survival skill like the first season had.
In fact, I'd like to see the next season have a group of people with no real survival skills and see how they cope with it.
That finale pissed me off.
I laughed at the VERY end. Pathetic season.

It turned out like last season, wasted so much time on this show in hopes of greatness.
this season blows.
The last episode made no sense at all. Like at ALL.
1. When the colonists are stealing food the enemy is just standing there shouting 'HEY DON'T DO THAT' without doing anything.
2. When the enemies are raiding their house, instead of using the house itself (You know the one with a WORKING WINDMILL) they decide to blow the house up.
3. Also Syan (sp?) is a bitch
4. Ending was funny
Thanks for not using spoiler tags.
I dont get how/where those people came at the end...
Finale sucked just like the last season, hopefully the next season will be like zombies or something, that would be sweet lol
yo my tivo didn't get the last few minutes after they got on the boat. Can someone fill me in?

[sp]They basically get on the boat and as they're driving away they see their house blow up. It looks like they're home free and it does flashbacks of every character and what they thought of the experience. The credits roll as the camera zooms past a destroyed landscape. In the very last scene, the colonists float up to their second house they were planning to live in. Suddenly everyone's face is concerned. The camera pans, and you see about two dozen 'others' on the dock they were about to land on. The End.[/sp]
It sounded like Sian was getting attacked as the SUVs drove out, oh god.
And then the disappointing ending. Ugh.
Oh god FunnyBunny your avatar is so annoying, Every time i scroll past it i have to watch it for ten seconds minimal.

They need to do it right damnit,
50 days is WAY WAY WAY to short.
GET HURT FOR REAL, Not boohoo i fell on my arm.
Much larger area, and different groups of people so the "bad" guys are also actual people and don't just randomly attack.
And something that annoys me the most, They fucking find everything they need. Oh what a coincidence a plane crashed here just as we need a motor, Oh look a tractor that comes in real handy. It just pissed me off that everything looks so fake and staged.
Or the fact that one of the survivors hides in the bushes. Good idea actually. BUT THERE'S A CAMERA CREW STANDING NEXT TO YOU. Bye Bye cover.
Why not set up a huge area with camera's like in big brother for example.
/rant
Agree x100 to you.
Damn, they sign contracts before they start where they agree there's a chance they could be hurt. I want to see three or four colonies of people in the same city. Each group is given a surplus of a specific set of items, ex food, medical supplies, water, etc and a limited supply of everything else. Big brother cameras everywhere that can be remotely controlled and maybe even give a colonist from each group a camera to record a sort of video log.
Each group would think they're alone so they have to discover the other groups. Interactions like that are so interesting from a psychological perspective. If only a show like this could be executed correctly.
thanks bunny. Also, was I the only one laughing my ass off at Jim going nuts?

I lost it when he said "I don't trust VOPA." then sunk slowly into the tall grass.

Yeah, pretty much this. They need:
A Huge cordoned off area.
Massive time frame (Were talking months and months)
4-5 teams, and that's it. No (Others) working for the studio. The entire show would only be contestants vs. contestants, not some mob of 40 people hired by the studio.
Remote controlled cameras fucking EVERYWHERE
Each team would have a camera crew with them just so they could get good shots of what they're working on, but they're not allowed to come with them if they're going off on an offensive, as they would pillage any chance the colonists have of being stealthy.
Supplies scattered all over the place.
Perhaps a few 'secret places' like some cellars or some super creepy underground army silo thing
Random events, to add a little bit of spice to the situation. Something like the trader that came around in like the 3rd episode. Various things like that. Maybe even crash a small airplane just to see what the colonists can actually scavenge from it. (I'm talking Cessna and have the pilot jump out with a chute.)
Add new colonists in the middle of the show, but don't tell the original colonists that it's going to happen. Set the new ones into the area, without letting them know what it looks like/what's in it. Let them walk around, and see which group accepts them, or which groups tell them to fuck off.
Have one group that's made of naturally aggressive people/people with hardly any actual skills so they go around and try to steal stuff from the other colonists (colonist to colonist fights would be fun if they were completely unscripted)
Something that would serve as an incentive for the colonists to fight over. The show would be boring as fuck if they all just banded together and formed one giant peaceful colony.
The list goes on and on.

TBH. That sounds like Survivor in a nut shell. But with less gay drama and more fight to death kinda stuff.
Jim is just misunderstood. Haha.

If a group decides to be peaceful with another group and there are relations among the other groups that opens up even more possibilities. Deception, betrayal, theft, sabotage, and all that among the colonists in each group and between groups. One group bribes someone from another to sabotage a project and all hell breaks loose.
I really like the idea of the random scripted events. It opens up possibilities for the producers to control what happens amongst the groups in an indirect way. Traders, military, nomads, messengers, hunters, and anything you could think of that seems slightly possible.
Survivor is more of an individual competition, trying to secure alliances so you can get to the merge while doing so in a way that you can still get votes from the council or whatever at the end of the season.
It would be interesting actually seeing real people deciding to kidnap another contestant and holding them hostage in return for supplies.

I'd like to see them work in a firearm system (Real guns that shoot paint tipped rounds). Because honestly, if the apocalypse goes down, tons of people will have guns on them.
Talking about this not some pansy paintball guns

The problem it seems though is this would get too overpowered, one guy could run in and go all Rambo, take out like 10 people before he gets shot himself
Damnit, I demand
The Colony, Revamped.
Sian was apparently getting attacked when VOPA left. Muffled screams :ohdear:
Also Jim is awesome when he goes nuts.
