    I think you may be confused. People aren't offended because it was a sex scene, they were offended because it was horribly done. And offended is the wrong word to be used there.

    Oh let's see some mixed babies on the show....I think half human half alien characters would be cool. We already have a Casti and a human getting married and Iraths and humans getting on.

    it's possible - first episode someone says Irissa looks pureblood when Nolan says she's his daughter.
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.

    Actually, I don't think it's possible. I think they discussed this specifically at some point, that the species were not compatible for cross breeding, and that Amanda's comment about Irissa looking pureblood was more about being confused by Nolan's comment (about Irissa being his daughter) and not a statement meant to imply that halfbreeds actually exist.

    Which seemed like kind of a weak excuse to me, but there it is.

She initiates, almost with a sense of animalistic "heat" like she was being driven to it.. and that soul-crushing look of despair and self-loathing on her face at the end shot really drove it home. it was exceedingly uncomfortable, and I think well-written. I'm sure there is more and it is nolan-based on how he handles things ( or how she believes he does , her not being human and all), but I'm not sure where that tie-in would come into play.
    This is mostly how I feel. It's pretty clear Tommy's in it for real reasons like finding true love and Irisa is pretty damaged. She's obviously an emotional mess and can't deal at all with her feelings in a normal way. I really look forward to seeing when Tommy finally puts his foot down for a real discussion and also when Nolan finds out about it.

    It's out there, unfortunately. Check the Defiance facebook page and there are some ugly comments.

    It is still insane, and to paint all people who disagreed with the artistic direction with that brush is lazy.

    Facebook.... enough said, that site is a place you log into to see lol-cat and "share or you hate babies" posts.

    Agree...but you still see those stupid racist comments. If u think it doesn't exist because you're ignoring it THAT is lazy. Nobody said everybody that didn't like the scene was racist. Just the ones that said they didn't like it because it was a black guy....
