I spent my time wondering why Vincent Van Gogh was looking so pastey....![]()

It wasn't bad. But i wasn't expecting anything amazing, so it was pleasant surprise.
Nolan and Irisa, both well played, convincing characters. Good thing they're leading us through the story then.
Nolan: "Where are you going?"
Irisa: "Antarctica! Would send you a post card, but you already got one."
This dialog deserves big LOL. Famous post card...
Doc Yewll - Awesome facial expresion, no lines needed...
Mayor persona is weak in my opinion. Idealistic, naive, a dreamer... Not badly written, but poorly played. I don't think the actress believe in what she is saying. Which makes me not believing her either. Fake, always on smile doesn't help her. I guess character like that need alot of fire and charisma to perform well. At least she's good looking...
Others don't stand out. Except the Irathian "gang" leader(forgot the name). Possibly potential of being bad**s.
Waiting for more...
I thought Julie Benz was great as Mayor Rosewater. She has a quiet reserve about her. I thought she played the politician well. If she felt a bit "false"... then depending on the scene I think that was on purpose. She's new. She's eager. She's trying to prove herself. I bet that over time Amanda will settle into her role as Defiance's mayor and probably have her idealism tested. I'm mean, she's no Laura Roslin but few people can be.
If I had to pick one slight weak link so far it'd be the McCawley's. I thought they just felt a bit flat as actors. In that way, they felt like they were related! Hopefully as time goes on they'll develop better. I enjoyed the father's sense of humor, but I felt like his character in particular was a bit fuzzy. I guess they suffer a bit because they are the nice, upstanding family apparently. But Kenya, the Tarrs, and even some of the incidental characters (Ben, Bertie) were pretty vibrant, to me.
I should really start remembering their names. Lolz I thought the McCawley's were pretty right on for their ancestry. I have known a couple Native Americans, and most of them weren't that vibrant with emotions when they talked.(Please note, I am not trying to be racist. I am just stating my observations.)
