Defiance (Page 1 of 5)

Looks expensive, therefore very quickly, if the ratings aren't strong.

The Pilot went up online tonight. It's two episodes (1hr 20mins). I liked it.

Also the shows pages doesn't link to this post.

I used to code, was just bringing it up is all.

A good friend of mine is a producer for the game Defiance. For her sake I hope the show and game are great! I'm really interested in seeing how the two tie together.

Well there is an MMO tied to this, which is probably why it feels like a video game.

Well I dislike Star Wars and TLoTR so I didn't recognize any of the creatures from those things. So why not. Also the show is only set in the year 2041 so having a lot of our guns seems logical. I thought there was enough of a mix between future guns and modern guns that it worked.

Starwars suck  LOTR is decent enough tho.

I didn't think it felt like Terra Nova, Falling Skies. I enjoyed it -- or perhaps I enjoyed my new speakers more, we'll see in a few eps

Like others, it felt to me as a mashed up Terra, Skies, Trek Voyager, etc...

And some CGI were so ridiculous, it's disturbing. Strange how they can do such a good job on some parts and insult the viewer with blue screen stuff that seems to come from Mario Kart.

Other than that, I like the genre and I'll stick with it. There is some potential that some old shows of the 90s had for a good run (not sure why Xena came to my mind, I never watched that) but given the state of the brain matter of the population...

What worked in the past sure ain't working as good now. So we'll see.

I'm assuming that should read Farscape?  And if you liked Farscape I bet you liked Firefly aswell

Seems like alot of people are comparing this to Terra Nova, not so sure about that one.
However from a summary for the game reads as follows:

The visionary open-world shooter MMOG Defiance serves as a companion to the tandem television show on Syfy. In an entertainment first, the game and show will influence and depend on each other, and even feature some players' characters on the TV shows as extras.

Set on a future Earth, Defiance introduces players and viewers to a world where humans and aliens live together on a planet transformed by decades of conflict. The game combines the intense action of a 'AAA' console shooter, with the persistence, scale, and customization of an MMO, while its TV counterpart weaves the rich tapestry of the world into a series with the scope, characters, and drama of a classic sci-fi epic. Because they exist in a single universe, the show and the game will influence each other and evolve together over time, with actions in both mediums driving the overall story of Defiance.

- This I think will be interesting to see how plays out..

They Call Me The "Jax Lovah!" Machine!

Liked the show. Seems to have some great potential but hope they didnt blew all their budget on the pilot...and we get once more...a soap opera.

I enjoyed it, hope it keeps getting better.
