Defiance Episode 5 - "The Serpent's Egg" Discussion Thread

[ratt707]

uh.. I don't think it's a phase. Since they did show her and Mr. Law getting it on I'm just going to assume she isn't a child.

Her character is really obnoxious and one dimensional. So much I get annoyed when the show wastes time on her.

I'm guessing somewhere between 17 and 24. She really doesn't strike me as being any older than that.

And she has 3 dimensions so far: obnoxious, *** kicking mode and sexified.

Do you like the show or do you dislike it as much as the game?

I like the show!

I just don't like that mouth breather because I know she's going to do the exact opposite of what she's told and/or something stupid.

I knew there was some part of the defiance universe you enjoyed. You're just giving defiance tough love cause you want it to be all it can be. I can appreciate that.

she just comes off to mental. so much to the point that her story plots just seem so far fetched. although it was nice to see some insight with Nolan raiding the cultist.
I find everyone's story more interesting then irisas. I loved her in the first episode when her and Nolan were singing along, but now i cant stand her plot lines.
i find Amanda and Kenya to be the two most appealing women in this show.

After watching this episode it made re-evaluate the end of the previous episode,

The exchange between Nolan and Datek's wife.

The one where he told her he had his eye on the wrong snake and that she was the dangerous one.

her response was something like "thank you"

If this "snake religion" is part of castithan culture then it is quite possible he was giving a genuine compliment.

I think her response was "You're Sweet"

According the the Syfy Defiance site, this snake religion was one that came about after the Votans got to Earth.

But then that really doesn't fly with what was said in the show about Irisa's parents being recruited for the religion before they left the Votan system.

That's right. Still seeing this episode did change my perspective on that exchange.

It could be that the religion existed before hand, but coming to earth were snakes exist, they somehow evolved to use the snakes.

The snake, a savumouth, used is also supposed to be Votan in origin, at least according to the site.

Not really sure I like using the site as a source for canon since it doesn't really make a lot of sense sometimes.

I would agree that it would have made more sense to have the religion be Votan in origin but then evolve terrestrial snakes. But I don't think a lot of thought is going into the back story.
