Well. Dark Matter and Killjoys renewed. Defiance...

[Psyclown]

I really enjoyed watching "Dark Matter"... Which was originally made by Space, a canadian TV. So, I think it would have got a season 2, no matter if Syfy had bought the rights to broadcast it or not...

I watched a couple of episodes of "Killjoys" and didn't really got into it...

And about Defiance...
I think we could have all enjoyed it even more if at some point of the show, any main character would have been given an EGO implant... and more actions, more gunfights, more impending doom and things that matter at stake...

Spoiler:

My opinion is that the writers shouldn't have resolved this "Devouring Mother" plot (and the whole spaceship-thing buried beneath defiance / Irisa's archtech inside of her) at the end of season 1, instead they probably should have let it be a background plot, recurring through the next seasons of the show. You know... Because Season 2.

Honestly? This show will be remembered as "Firefly 2.0"....in which the supposedly supporting network STILL couldn't figure out what to do with a show that would be a long-lasting hit...but died due to malnourishment and neglect from the network.

firely had 1 incomplete season - your statement is invalid.

I'm surprised this game is still around considering it lost half its players and all of the original developers.

Fixed that for you.. teehee

I draw as many threads from Firefly toward Dark Matter as I ever did to Defiance.
And considering Defiance did as well in the ratings as either of the two shows mentioned: it seems wrong-headed of SyFy to renew those two and ignore Defiance.

Understanding that the only parallel is that Mal Reynolds and Joshua Nolan are blood brothers imo.

I think Dominion is a key factor and that either Dominion or Defiance will be renewed and the other cancelled. I like Dominion but after a good first season it has lost its way. Defiance still has mileage but that finale was just too final, I hope it survives.

Syfy doesn't pay for production of KJ and DM, just right to air, unlike Defiance (which is expensive) . Crossing my fingers for renewal though. Really want to see the Irisa/Nolan reunion

I would point out to SyFy that if they can't afford to produce Defiance they should get out of the business.
Kevin Murphy mentions in his last interview how production staff were going to set-selloffs from other shows and getting materials for free.
All it takes is a good look at the sets and costumes to know Defiance was being produced on a shoestring.

Yeah I can't imagine Defiance being an expensive show to produce... but, seriously I hope they renew it for another season. Yeah Dark Matter and Killjoys are good shows but Defiance really brought an entire world to life IMO it's the most interesting and more unique show out of the three.

As mentioned above, maybe someone can get an EGO implant and they can spice up the show a little more to make it more exciting. I feel like that last episode could be a series finale, but hopefully not because its kind of weird how Nolan is left on his own in space now.. would be interesting to see what life is like down on Defiance without him...
