Oh i know one of you out there is all "BUT BUT He had the crystal taken from him in the Ark Fall that we helped him get in the story mission....

Oh you mean the crystal that didn't even look the same at all in the game vs the show..... oh you mean the crystal I saved Nolan's life to help him get.... then he steals from me and gives me some rifle.... oh that crystal.... G T F O that was such a pathetic tie in I almost wanted to turn the show off right there.

The entire show takes place IN the city of DEFIANCE, a city we have yet to even see. We can all assume that Nolan will be the LAWKEEPER in DEFIANCE when we get there, but the question now is WHEN THE HELL DO WE GET TO DEFIANCE!...

The enemy in the show is a race we have yet to even see in the game, so I can only hope some how they tie whatever mess of a story is going on in the show to the game some how. Otherwise we are playing 2 totally different story archs in the world of DEFIANCE.

one word....Troll

only the first episode show must start some where we dont need much of any connection between the game and show atm cause the game is the prologue to whats happened more connections will be made as the game and show progress....

and dude ur a blind idiot the crystal looked just like it did in the game only better cause its on tv and not in a game

My thoughts awesome cant wait till next weeks episode, game is great (could still use some work) and i hope as the game and show progress we slowly start have more of the world open to us and not just around san fran but around the whole world or at the very least eventually lead us to the town of defiance.

A lot of pilots have crummy grafics. They for the most part are a proof of concept for the producers. After the producers give it the green light, a better budget is set up.

IMHO, I believe this is whats happening, as some CG sceens where real good (The initial space sceen, and the arrival where likely added with a better budget for TV), others not so (The driving sceens where crap compared to the others I listed). Likely, the final battle had some new sceens added, as the quality wasn't the same all around.

That would to me anyway, bring cohesiveness(sp) between the two.

Show is good. Nim is a biiaatch, finally downed him last night after what felt like 30 extractions; only things that compared to fighting Nim area large group of Raiders or 99ers, or one Hulker. The fight was a real pain.

I agree that when SYFY tries to show moving vehicles the cars look like Final Fantasy VII, but I was kinda happy I didn't see the edge of the greenscreen set like you do on many other Syfy shows.

Overall, perhaps the best Syfy show since SG-1. But yes there are issues

• Dialog at times was shtako(sp?)
• Some scenes weren't that good (but they had to be there)
• Scotsman Elf Alien+British Lady Elf Alien= Indian elf Alien?

I know people'd be creaming their shorts if Joss Whedon made it.

Syfy needs to stop trying to CGI cars.

I think the game is really good and the show just as good. I was not watching it for the special effects if I want that I will watch Transformers or Avatar. What I did like was alot of minor references to the game in the show such as the 99ers comment and the Arha Shondu being mentioned by the mayor or the fact the Irisa say that they owe Varus money and the other things like Raiders and such. I wish we could explore Arks like they did that would be amazing also it would be cool if the Volgue came and attacked San Fran area but there is alot of ways they can still tie in things from the show and the game but we will have to see.

Yeah the storyline tie-ins are very weak, hope they improve that.
If i understand a little of this storyline mess, It appears that the show's reference to the Volge is actually Dark Matter in the game. Perhaps for reasons unknown to us, they could not use one of the terms in its opposing format.

Dark Matter is actually a Vot Special forces unit, kinda like the Iron Demons. Not the same as the Volge, one's an alien race, the other is a military unit.

Edited to add, Nim is a Castithan, he was the one leading Dark Matter, and as Ara and Cooper made it sound, he was in charge of Dark Matter during the battle of Defiance as well.

Love the tie in with the crystal, especially the "Know how much we went through to get that?". There's a tie in within the first 10 minutes of the show.

It's airing for the first time in the UK now, currently on an ad break.
