Whether it’s intentional or coincidental, fans of the dearly departed Defiance will get a little treat on the first Syfy Friday of 2016. Many of those fans, myself among them, loved the triple threat of Defiance, Killjoys, and Dark Matter. One of the best three-hour blocks of scifi programming to ever air on TV, the return of […]
It was the final day of Dragon Con 2015 and everyone was still in full-on con mode, especially the cast of Defiance. Already having several days behind them, and with that several panels, signings, and photo-ops, these guys were still full of energy and ready to take on questions from the fans. There’s more than […]
Ostinato is a short melody or rhythm that is repeated by the same voice or instrument during a musical composition. Instead of music we have…. Death. Mourning. Turmoil. These the repetitive themes woven throughout the dark hour in Defiance. “Too many dead people.” Nolan Episode 8 begins with an unexpected kick in the gut. Doc Yewll is hunted, killed, […]
Defiance is on the brink of war. One of their own is on the run. One of their own is standing trial for high treason. The town has few weapons and fewer law keepers. If you know Defiance, this town can never be counted out to rise up. The somber beginning of “The Beauty of Our Weapons”, […]
History Rhymes is a rollicking ride of excellent one liners and meaty dialogue opening scene to end credits. The Defiance writers team deserve additional applause this week. My favorite episode this season top to bottom. My favorite episode to date. Please enjoy my favorite lines to kick off this review. Each is worth a reaction, pause, and rewind. “It’s […]
This episode brings us back to what is expected when watching Defiance, fast paced story lines with at least one surprise to utterly stun the viewer. The “what the hell” must rewind scene definitely paid off for the viewer. That, however, I will get to last. The lighthearted beginning with Nolan reading out loud the […]
The two-hour Season 3 premiere of Defiance while visually interesting, is a slow, confusing burn until approximately the 40 minute mark when the storylines begin to gel into a cohesive picture. Perhaps this discordant and disrupted feeling was purposely designed for the viewer to feel the way many of the characters themselves appear to feel. If so, the risk paid off. […]
It’s going to be a great summer for sci fi TV! Yesterday I previewed Killjoys, and today we have another Syfy space drama (which will air back to back with Killjoys), Dark Matter. Dark Matter was created by franchise writers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, who adapted the 13-episode series from their original graphic novel, […]
The wait is almost over. Season 3 of Defiance premieres with a two hour episode, Friday, June 12th at 8/7c on the Syfy Channel. Irisa, Kai, and Nolan stopping the Kaziri from terraforming the planet was only the beginning. Chaos and war have erupted, putting humanity on the brink of disaster. Amanda tries to hold Defiance together but […]
