Worst TV show in years.

***Possible Spoiler alert, although I doubt it...***

I had such high hopes for this show. I DVR it every monday night and watch it late monday night, early tuesday morning. I look forward to it. But since the first episode, its gotten worse and worse.

-Disjointed story arcs
-Poor character development
-Is this a Drama or a sci fi action show(since you know..the game is sci fi action)
-The CGI I could live with if the rest of the show was actually decent
-No continuity from week to week. It feels like all standalones.
-Feels like theres absolutely no connection to the game. Im not talking about the supposed "interaction" between the two...But in the game you are doing ark falls, killing hell bugs and mutants, etc etc. In this..."who killed birch". "who is sleeping with who". What..the...hell?
-Minimal action
-I like Irisa as a character, but what the hell is up with these visions? Is she some mystic freakin being or something? What the hell? Who cares?
-The "relationships" that formed in the most recent episode. You know what Im talking about. What in the hell does this have to do with ANYTHING SCI FI?!


Seriously, The show started off great. Gone to crap since.

You're entitled to your opinion, but yours is pure stupidity. It just seems like you don't understand whats going on due to lack of IQ and are judging the show based off that. Everything about what you said is nonsense. The game is the game and the show is the show. They're set in the same world. It seems like you want it to be exactly like the video game, which is ******ed and nobody would watch it other than maybe you. Like do you want Irisa to tell Sukar to F off and go arkhunting with Nolan? Come on, bro.

You just are too dumb to understand the show, plain and simple. I'm sorry, I'm just sick of seeing these kind of reviews from people who clearly have no idea what the **** they're watching. You seem like an IMDB troll.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of seeing Kenya with someone else every single episode. I mean we all know what her business entails- do we really need to see it in every episode? I understand that it's a TV show and for some reason they need to have sexual scenes, but this is kind of overdoing it.

Support Defiance, it's a step in the right direction to get Syfy to go back to actually showing sci-fi instead of reality crap tv.

And while the writing isn't great in Defiance, I find it really enjoyable. Way more than say...Revolution.

That kind of thinking means less real sci fi, and more Lost Girl and Being Human. Good luck with that.

you haven't seen "breaking bad" now that is boring

There's sarcasm in there right? No one could possibly hate watching the exploits of Mr. White and Jesse!

People been fed a steady stream of crap on tv for quite sometime now. If baby sci-fi gets people to watch it, it can act like a gateway drug to the good stuff

And I wouldn't call Lost Girl or Being Human science fiction, Continuum yes but to those guys no.

You're missing the point. What channel are they on, and what is their target audience?
Defiance is so thin on the Sci fi it's humorous. But if you dollop a bunch of make up on anyone in the Brady Bunch cast, it'll pass as well. Or just add naughty things to do with blood, and you've got yourself a HBO hit.

How about Alek he was made to look like such a badazz in the first episode. He was hissing at people,saying he was gonning to kill the chicks brother. Then skip forward to the hellbug episode and he is hiding behind his GF and saying thing like "Where's dad, we have to go back for him" like he was a 13 yr old girl.

Pretty much every TV show nowday is flooded with drama, thats why i dont really watch any of them. Back in 90s TV series still had right amout of drama mixed with ohter genres, now those other genres are pretty much just a background setting and drama took the main role.

Last decent sci-fi series was imo SG:A as it had more of sci-fi and less drama, alot more techno babble and exploration than relationship/family drama concepts.

to each their own i always say.
i enjoy it and think the show is getting better with time and i have high hopes for the future.
i also think you are wasting your time or trolling though. why bother complaining on an official forum. most of us are here because we like it.
