OT: The Colony "reality" Tv show

[boogiedowndonovan]

I was channel surfing the other day and caugh a bit of The Colony reality TV show on Discovery Channel.

Interesting show, the premise is that some type of holocaust strikes and 10 random people have to try and survive in a "ruined" city. (really an industrial part of Los Angeles).

The part that I saw had the survivors find shelter in a warehouse, clear it out of debris and make it habitable and secure from other survivors, then go out and find food and encounter other survivors (actors). they make a point to mention that in a disaster when resources are scarce, not everyone will be friendly.

they also scavenge parts from a pressure washer to create a generator, create fuel by making a wood gasifier. Then they use the generator to charge some car batteries.

previews of future episodes show some type of conflict with other survivors over the shelter. The premise is interesting, but I dont think there is any voting off of anyone. A couple of the survivors struck me as whiny or cranky, but that could be because they hadn't slept for 48hrs.
