Worst TV show in years.

I had such high hopes for this show.

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

I talked a non-game player friend into watching the show ~ he watched the first three episodes back to back, called it a "soap opera" and hasn't watched it since.

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.

Game turning around so now it's the show's turn? figures....

I actually think the show is getting better.
But yeah, that is only like my opinion man.

There seems to be some confusion in how people are viewing the programming. SyFy hasn't been dedicated to sci fi for years. There have been shows here or there for the sake of legitimacy. But their programming mirrors the viewing habits you'd find in the demo for ABC more than anything else. To put it bluntly, they aren't making shows for the science fiction fan. They make them for the "viewing" demographic.

Yep, it went to crap the second NBC bought the channel. First thing they did was put wrestling on SciFi then changed the name to SyFy! dumb*****es

I went into this show expecting a SF story, and the first episode didn't disappoint. Plenty of technobabble, fighting, lots of neat toys in a post-apoc setting. All of this with a pretty decent story wrapped around it, and a cherry of half-decent dialogue on top.

From there, well, it's sorely disappointed. It quickly devolved into a typical drama. Dull dialogue, hum-drum story, a strong feeling of been there, done that (oh yeah... The Walking Dead was the same thing...) and characters I simply just don't care about. Seriously, can they be any more transparent and one dimensional??

But, the single detracting factor for me, was the utterly terrible episode pacing. UGH. Huge conflict build-up, which leads to an utterly dull, extremely brief climax, which is usually resolved by some form of deus ex machina (oh, he *just* managed to pop in at the nick of time!). All of this followed by a quick aftermath, and a montage with some half-decent music.

Eh, overall, I'm not necessarily angry towards the show, but, there's a lot of detractions from the show for me... Maybe one day, when I'm really bored, I'll just watch a few more episodes. Til then... meh. Just not gonna bother with the show, and just stick with playing the game once in a while.

If season 2 ends up being more stand alone episodes then I can agree, but until then I am taking this first season as an introduction to the characters and world.

Besides, anytime I see Julie Benz any flaws in the show just melt away...

Advertised as a drama, yet people complain about the drama. Just boggles the mind. Reminds me of the people whining about not enough zombie killing in the walking dead.

I absolutely love The Walking Dead but I cant say exactly why, same with Defiance its a bit borderline but I cant put my finger on exactly why Im not thrilled with it.
Still I watch it, its not too bad, there are worse TV shows out there.
