Tonight's episode of Defiance

Well,
i´d like to see the dagger/sword as a melee too; one main gun and the blade acts as melee instead of the gun :)

Don't see how because spiders, butter flys, ants, hell even snakes see smells or heat. Same with african rhinos horrible vision so they need smells to "see"

Yeah. I didn't have a problem with that little tid-bit of Hellbug physiology, myself.

I'm enjoying the show so far, my only real critique would be the shoddy CGI, it just looks terrible.

I was disappointed to see magic being used in this sci-fi show. I hope they keep it to an absolute minimum.

I viewed it more as a psychic ability, and the ritual being one of religious symbolism to the race since they have a strong believe in their gods.

Which, incidentally, has been a sub-staple of science fiction for over 50 years.

Also they ARE aliens... if we can have cyber implants, decoy, cloaking, ky poop, glowing energy sources and Terra forming... I think I can possibly accept that an Alien race can in fact have some type of telepathic oracle ability. Geeze call me crazy.

Being able to see the past or the future is not a staple of hard sci-fi. That belongs in space fantasies like Star Wars.

I litteraly read that as, " If we can have cyber implants, decoy, >>>K-POP<<<, glowing energy sources and terra forming..." xD

And I liked the little breakdown between Nolan and Ish. It really sent home that he is raising a person from a different culture (alien,) and does not have all the answers. He just wants whats best for her, and does not have all the info to be able to do that. Plus, we really got to see more of Ish and who she is, and her struggle to be not just a proud member of her own race, but also to make her adopted father proud. She is very troubled, and to see her make some strides to overcome was really interesting.

This most defenitly, I know a lot of people just want huge action scenes in every episode, but i love these one that build the characters and flesh them out. The very last scene in that montage at the end actually almost jerked a tear for me, it was so melancholy sweet <:3

I AM how ever a little afraid of where the Irathian influence might go in the next few episodes, and even next season. I'm worried they're going to get rid of Ish at some point, maybe to bring her back, maybe not to as she joins the spirit walkers. That would be a bit of a death knell for the show if that should occur.
