So tonight's show. Spoilers and 1 disappointment.

Also the reporter from the Bay Area, Charlie Rivers, was mentioned in the data recorders last week, her brother was the one on the recorders.

[Murphdog]

indeed. Once I heard her speaking about coming from the bay area and her saying her name, I was like ..... "wait! what?" rewind just to make sure. There was the tie-in I was looking for.Good episode. I am def getting annoyed with Irisa.

[Skeety]

This was the first show that didn't have a commercial plugging the game, that I saw. Last show I saw just one. I wonder why.

[Telemachus]

The reporter mentioned that she was from Madera.

[Ghost MLP]

Wasn't Sukar dead when the piece of nano laden razor rain hit him? Didn't the nano bots only revive him for the sole purpose of crash landing the arc? Would the nano machines keep him alive post crash? ( i want to say no, why would they?) Was that even Sukar at all or a Robo- Sukar?

As I understood it, the nano's fixed him up and kept repairing him when he got damaged, so for all intents and purposes if Nolan hadn't shot him out the window at the end, when the nano's shut down Sukar would have still been alive and well, just no longer immortal.

Maybe the show is a little behind the game? It looked like in the previews for next week we would be seeing the plague hitting Defiance heavier.

I think the game is WAY ahead of the show. This is due in part, I think, to all the pressure on Trion to get content out to the fan boys. Seems this tie in was released 2 weeks early starting with sieges's, but they did take a week off with the show and we all know what happens when the fan boys don't get new content, cheese and whine for all. But all in all I think the game and the show will get together after the season ends and we are in reruns.

By comparison, Torc is cuter.

yeah bring him to Defiance for a special appreance he knows Nolan and I bet he'd rip some Casthian faces off =)

[Fiox]

FYI Sukars in a coma that he supposedly will never recover from he's not dead I'm betting there's a chance he's gonna back through some "Science/mystic" thing since hes just a vegetable right now

[treadingwater]

Trion has no pressure from fanboys causing them to do anything. Everything they've done has been on a schedule between them and NBC/SyFy that was agreed upon way in advance.

[MacDeath]

The only problem I had was the thrown in plague tie at the end. It seemed like they needed to put it in there and juts crammed it in the end with no build up. It was disappointing, but overall not a bad episode showing what the votans did before the war and arrival.

It's called a cliff hanger when they put a potential disaster in at the end on an episode. We're supposed to worry all week about how this will turn out and BE SURE TO WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE to see if somehow the town can be saved. This technique has been around since way before there were ANY TV shows. It's from the old movie serials like Perils of Pauline where we see her hanging from the cliff by her fingers at the end of the episode and wonder if ANYONE can save her.

In the modern world, we're pretty sure that SOMEONE somehow will solve the dilemma (and with Defiance that someone may well be the characters in the game!).
