Proxy’s Corner – The Holman Initiative!

by Leave a Comment

 

Great Citizens of the Colony…

We are only 251 days away from the approximate release date of Colony’s Season 3: Episode 1.  I’m anticipating the date to be 1/11/2018 – Let’s hope I’m correct.  While we are all waiting, there are still some great Colony things going on!

Did you check out the First Annual Talk Colony Awards?  I even let Tory Kittles/Broussard win a couple of awards!  (I know, I know – I’m such an amazing and generous guy!)  If you haven’t heard the Awards Podcast (and the stellar acceptance speeches from a few of the stars) make sure you do – LISTEN HERE!

#ColonyChat!  Have you taken part in any of our Colony Chats on twitter?  We’re due for another real soon – be sure to be watching on twitter for an announcement on the next one!  They’re lots of fun and a good way to keep chatting about our favorite show.

Now…Let’s discuss something important… We were successful in our Season 3 Renewal Campaign – and now I have a new campaign for you to assist with…

 

THE HOLMAN INITIATIVE

 

Fellow Colonists –

Remember that scene in the Season 2 finale where I convinced a young and upcoming Transitional Authority Sergeant to let me and the Bowmans escape the bloc?  I remember it almost like it was yesterday…If I could just push a button to rewind time to thank him…

Anyway, that Sergeant (Holman) was really the hero of that scene and perhaps the episode.  Well…2nd only to me of course…  Sgt. Holman is played by the brilliant and charismatic Jamison Haase.  I started a small campaign a few weeks ago called the #HolmanInitiative to ensure that the creatives behind Colony know we must have more of Holman’s story.  The response on both facebook and twitter has been very positive:

So… How can you help?  Easy.  Use the #HolmanInitiative hashtag – EVERYWHERE.  On Colony’s official facebook page.  @ColonyUSA on twitter.  Reach out to @WrathofCondal and @CarltonCuse on twitter.  Let them know that Jamison Haase must return in Season 3.  He deserves more time, don’t you think?

And if you want to say hello to Jamison and let him know you appreciate his efforts in the finale and (hopefully) Season 3, you can reach him and follow him on twitter @JamisonHaase!

Thanks, Colonists – I knew I could count on you!

All the best,
Proxy A. Snyder, Ph.D.

Proxy’s Corner – Pushing The Button!

by Leave a Comment

 

Citizens!  Did you see that amazing season finale?  Of course you did – Why would you miss it!?  So many different things happened and so many questions need answers.  Well lucky for you – I’m going to give you some of those answers!  But before i do… Can we just have a moment of silence for poor Morgan?  She was an undercover operative for us here at Homeland and she’ll be missed terribly.  I’ll spare you the details of her horrendous murder, but just know this:  the resistance will pay for her murder.  One of the Transitional Authority’s finest, Sgt. Holman, is on the case and will not rest until justice is served.  (Coincidentally – Sgt. Holman also won “Who owned the episode” on the Talk Colony Podcast this week.  I’m thinking he paid someone off.  CoughTRACEYCough)

On to the biggest BURNING question:  What the heck was that button I pushed at the end of the episode?  I’ll tell you, but PLEASE promise to keep it to yourselves.  It’s a little…embarrassing.

Even though I could have earned a GIANT promotion and a lot of good will with our Hosts, I certainly DID NOT activate a beacon to call in a Drone Walker to handle the Bowmans while I escape with the gauntlet.  Here’s what really happened…

Put yourself in my position for a moment:  I have the entire Bowman family and the gauntlet with me inside the exclusion zone!  Guns are drawn and the situation was extremely tense.  We made it through – BUT – I may or may not have had a mild heart attack during the whole affair.  So that button?  Simple – It’s the latest device made by Life Alert.  (Ya know – the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” people.) I thought I may need a paramedic or emergency services – so I pressed the button.  See?  Embarrassing.  What they didn’t show you (because they cut to credits early) was me deactivating the Life Alert as I realized I didn’t need any medical assistance.

End. Of. Story.

 

STATE OF THE COLONY

 

My fellow Colonists…

Our Colony is in the middle of an evacuation protocol.  Please follow your Transitional Authority soldiers to leave the bloc immediately.  This is for YOUR protection and survival.  Critical services and rations will no longer be available in the LA bloc so please, go now.

Broussard, very generously, has offered to stay behind and assist the sick and elderly with their evacuation.  Who knew he would be such a good guy.  On a quick side note – Ryan Condal… You #BetterBringBackBroussard

Some updates…

Morgan has died.  The Bowmans have left.  Maddie is going to the Factory and The Greatest Day is complete nonsense.  Oops…did I say that out loud?

Time to go…Stay safe Colonists!

All my best,

 

Proxy (Governor General?) Alan Snyder

 

ASK PROXY

 

From Shawn:

With what is going to happen to LA bloc, do you think you have a good chance to run the new bloc?

I’m not sure if I’m going to accept the new Governor General position or the recently opened Ambassadorship. Either way, I will continue to be the person all citizens can count on.  And I’m sure I’ll end up saving Helena a third time. Seems to be what i do…

From Lisa:

Will Proxy Snyder be getting his own spin off show?

Lisa, first and foremost – Thank you for recognizing my brilliance.  Secondly, I’m sure all the networks are considering Proxy Snyder shows and hope to have 12 – 15 different shows on TV across 4 or 5 nights per week.  Perhaps a 24 hour all-Proxy all the time channel?  I like it.

From Erin C. (TiBS):

How do you think Tory Kittles will feel when he finds out I that I’m really pro-Proxy and just love you to pieces, Mr. Snyder?  

Erin, thank you for finally admitting it.  He’ll get over it – in fact, he’s probably used to it by now.

From Sharon:

Just exactly how big was that spider that Broussard brought along for the meet-up?  More importantly, did the spider get what all spiders deserve?

That [CENSORED] [CENSORED AGAIN] spider was [CENSORED A THIRD TIME] huge!  It’s dead dead dead!  I don’t want to talk about it anymore.  Gotta go!

 

That’s it for this week!  Thanks so much for reading!  Season three is only another 278ish days away – but stay tuned for any future Colony news, updates, or more made up nonsense that I decide to write! (Nonsense like the question from Erin…She’d NEVER say that!)

Proxy’s Corner – The Rise of Snyder

Hello good citizens of the bloc!

Before I get into my speech and other stuff – A big THANK YOU to all those that participated in last night’s #ColonyChat Twitter Party!  It was a huge success – and far beyond even my own expectations!  It was a lot of fun and we talked about a lot of great Colony stuff!  Here’s some quick stats from our hour long party:

– Over 150 different twitter users participated with more than 5 tweets from each

– Our main tracking software actually FAILED we did so well!

– Over 3,600 tweets flooded all of twitter in just one hour

– #ColonyChat actually trended for a short time

– Quite a few lucky winners of various Colony prizes (Congrats everyone!)

– At least 3 Twitter users were relegated to Twitter Jail!

An absolute success – We will definitely do it again!  Thanks to everyone that joined in and if you missed this one, there will be more so stay tuned!  Thank you to the show, Colony, for supplying the many prizes we gave away – Couldn’t have done it without your support!

Now, let’s get to the serious stuff!

 

STATE OF THE COLONY

 

Colonists!

Have no fear, I am here!

I have returned to power just as I promised I would.  The resistance is now shaking with fear.  (And so is Bennett. Sucker.)

The imposter, Proxy Chump Alcala, will not be in charge of the bloc much longer.  He has only RUINED our fine bloc, and Helena is one unhappy lady.  Together, she and I will replace his pathetic leadership and bring this bloc back to where it belongs.

Many of you are worried about the gauntlet, the Red Hands, and Broussard.  Let me update you on this critical situation.  The gauntlet is back in our possession and is safe.  There was never any real danger.

The Red Hands are in shambles and are now on the run.  We will have them all locked away and sent to the Factory soon.  Can you believe they ever thought they stood a chance?

We had Broussard in our crosshairs and launched an offensive campaign to terminate him.  He did manage to escape this time, but we are actively tracking him and will have him terminated shortly.  Will Bowman is still deep undercover and reporting back daily on Broussard’s activities.  It’s only a matter of time.

This next bit of information is still classified and I urge you to keep quiet about it.  I am entrusting you with this information…  We have another Bowman on the inside.  Bram has volunteered to work undercover as well – This time with the Red Hands.  He has successfully infiltrated their leadership and will be reporting back soon.  We wish you well, Bram Bowman.  Good luck.

And finally…Let me remind you all that we are in this together.  We are a family.  All of us.  Family sticks together to succeed during this occupation.  That being said, Nolan and Maddie have committed the ultimate sin – They’ve turned on their family and are now only thinking of themselves.  Nolan will be removed from power, and Maddie will be handled accordingly as well.  NEVER turn your back on family.

I’m here for you Colonists.  I will save our bloc.

Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.

 

Fearless for you,

Proxy Alan Snyder (I’m back and with some nice suits again, too!)

 

ASK PROXY!

From Sharon:

What did you REALLY want to say to Bennett when you two finally met?

“You’re an idiot.”  “What’s wrong – You look like you’ve seen a ghost”  “Yeah, i’ll fix your mess too.”  “You really believed in someone named Alcala?  How stupid could you be?”   Any or all of the above.

From Meghan:

Before the invasion, did you watch TV?

Sure.  My DVR is still full … of House reruns.  I liked SpongeBob a lot too.

From Gabe:

You really are awesome, do you know that?

I look in the mirror every day and thank my lucky stars that i’m me.  It’s hard work being this amazing, but i do it all for you – for all the Colonists out there…Especially Erin Conrad (She’s my biggest fan)

From Amy:

Now that you’re in a new position of power, what’s your opinion on bacon?

Bacon is a lot like our drones.  Awesome, amazing, and can never get enough of it.  Wait…Bacon is a lot like me!

 

Thanks for reading Colonists!  Don’t forget to listen to the Talk Colony Podcasts – They’re always fun, and we’ve been lucky enough to chat with each of the Bowman kids – Check it out!  See you next week!

Proxy’s Corner – The Orange Soda Edition

by Leave a Comment

My favorite Colonists…

Before I begin, this week’s edition is unofficially brought to you by the fine people at:

SUNKIST, FAYGO, FANTA, CRUSH, MIRINDA, MINUTE MAID, and TANGO.  All fine purveyors of orange soda.  Cool and refreshing, tasty, and with a rushing sensation straight to your tummy – it’ll knock you dead with delight!  Yay orange soda!

Here’s what we learned this week…

  • Burke is a jerk. Correction, was.
  • Planes still work – at least for a little while.
  • The resistance is growing and there are plans even outside the bloc.
  • Will is one tough, cunning cookie.
  • Katie and Broussard really can kick some butt.
  • Never mess with the Bowman kids.
  • Watch out for Charlie – nothing fazes him. Stashes oranges … orange soda … Coincidence?
  • Alcala is a pompous, good-for-nothing blowhard who has finally crossed the line.

42 minutes of television and I think it’ll take 42 hours just to digest it all.  The world of Colony – I love it!  Don’t forget to join the #RenewColonyNow campaign on twitter and facebook – link below!

 

STATE OF THE COLONY

 

Fellow citizens –

 

I don’t want to be “that guy” that says I told you so … but … I TOLD YOU SO!

Alcala is worthless – Cares for nothing besides himself.  Helena has seen the light!  Who does she call?  ME.

You heard that right … ME.

I’ve said for 341 days straight – Look out for the “RISE OF THE PROXY.”   Well, here it is.  The bloc is in chaos.  The resistance is growing.  The current imposter, Proxy Chump, can’t handle his business and thinks that he can downplay Helena and the power behind her.

I’ve said I’d return to power…I’ve said I had a plan.  As with all things (except one minor incident), I keep my word.  I will save our bloc.  I will save our country.  I will save the world.

You’re welcome.  Anyone care to join me later today for an orange soda?

 
Stay safe Colonists.

 

All the best,

Proxy Alan Snyder (I’M COMING BACK!)

 

ASK PROXY!

 

From Genco:

How is it going to look for you that you hired Bowman?  Will you continue to help the Bowmans when the time comes?

I look like a genius since now I have a “double agent” inside the resistance. I accomplish things other Proxies only dream about.  I support Will and his family 100%.

From Ryan:

What do you think Helena called you in for?

Probably asking for a second date.  She’s been bugging me for months.  Besides that – she needs me to save the world and who am I to say no?

From Sharon:

Now that Helena has finally “woken up” and called you back in, what will be your first order of business?

Change out of these crummy suits.  Then send that chump, Alcala, packing.

From Shawn:

How do you feel that Helena saved you from the work camp?

I’m giddy with excitement … it’s always a good feeling to see Helena come crawling back for me needing my brilliance to save the bloc.

From Wendy:

After seeing what some of the RAPs were up to, do you think you are headed to joining the resistance to help save humankind?  And will you get the girl (Helena)?

First and foremost, Helena already loves me – so you can check that off the list.  Secondly, I will do what is necessary to survive and to bring not just the bloc, but the entire world, back to order.  I’m a savior, a hero, a brilliant mastermind.  Know this:  Humankind will never fail or falter while Proxy Snyder is on the job.

 

That’s all for now!  Make sure you join the #RenewColonyNow movement!  Tweet the hashtag, or visit our campaign on facebook at www.facebook.com/RenewColonyNow!
