I enjoyed "The Colony" very much.  The story's basis on UFOs and aliens is reminiscent of themes of an older radio show series that I also enjoy called "X minus One".  The protagonists pair two giants of acting in Tony Roberts and Morgan Fairchild as a husband-wife duo who dutifully report a strange incident in the sky to local authorities as they drive through a small town.  As they lament later with the sympathetic and well-acted elderly villager played by Frances Sternhagen, the two should have minded their own business and left well enough alone (as a husband traveling by car with my wife Morgan Fairchild, as opposed to Tony Roberts, there is not much that would have distracted me from getting on with the 'business' of my vacation).  Writer Fielden Farington builds a considerable amount of suspense as the helpless couple progress towards their seeming demise, prisoners up against crooked authorities in a strange town.  The last act is a good one and had me cheering aloud until the very conclusion.  E.G. Marshall tries to instill some enduring dread in the epilogue, and though a fun story, it IS far-fetched (even for a CBSRMT episode).  As a youngster, this episode would have left quite an impression on me and I probably would have had some problems falling asleep!  I give The Colony 4 out of 5 stars. - Juror #4
