I hope all of you are great and I have a non Doctor Who question. But is is SciFi. What do you think of Defiance. It's growing on me. Still not 00% sure. Its funny bit hubs and I both said the premise is like Eureka. New guy and is daughter come to a new town and when the existing lawman can't do his job he gets replaced my the new man in town. What do you all think?

    We've seen both episodes in the show so far. My hubby really likes it. I am still not quite sure. It's hard for me to read the subtitles b/c they are in white from across the room. Throughout the show, every time I see the Cartithans(white-skinned aliens), all I can think of is: Can you imagine what would happen if those 2 aliens met w/ Lucius and Narcissa! lol.

    I am willing to give it a few more episodes.

    Hubby oggles the actress that played HG Wells on Warehouse 13 throughout the show. She plays the female Cartithan(the one that almost always naked). Then, he gets a kick out of the mayor is the same actoress that played Darla on Buffy/Angel. I just laugh.

    The man who is the leader of his tribe (the white faced guys) the Cartithan leader, is the man who played Van Goth on Doctor Who.

    My wife & I are sort of enjoying it, too. Not a "must see" on our list yet, but an enjoyable hour. Has anyone checked out the Web site? The detail they've put into the backstory for this world is quite impressive.

    On the downside, it irks me that certain things (some of the monsters, the police car) make it painfully obvious that the game was at the forefront in the designers' minds when they put them together. If nothing else, however, you've gotta give SyFy props for at least trying a new system to USE online time and gaming to help a show's ratings, rather than take away from them.

    See I'm not a big gamer (GASP!) but I do enjoy the show. I agree though it's not a must see, plus you can always catch the weeks prior right before the new one. One thing that does bug hubs and I, is that ScyFy, since changing their name has gotten a bit weak in their programming. I loved Eureka, and they took that off, now they have theses cheesy movies that although fun on occasion are not worth it
