This is it – the season finale of Defiance, was it everything you hoped for and more? We already know it’ll be back for season two, so there’s no sweating it there. Maybe play the game in the downtime? I’ve never tried out the videogame accompaniment myself, so I can’t […]
Defiance: Past is Prologue Recap
This week opens with Mayor Amanda giving a speech about all that ex-Mayor Nicky had done for her – bringing her up from a janitor to her assistant to the replacement mayor. Datak interrupts to bring politics into the wake, noting his stance to bring the Earth Republic to Defiance […]
Defiance: The Bride Wore Black Recap
There’s wedding bells in the air on this week’s episode of Defiance. We’re given a look into how the Castithans throw a bachelor party and it is milder than I was expecting. They sword fight a little bit, there’s a stripper pretending to be Christie, they tell him to “pony-mount […]
Defiance: If I Ever Leave This World Alive Recap
This week Defiance is dealing with a plague, technically known as a viral hemorrhagic fever, but more commonly known as something the I-raths, or Irathients, spread. Alak is up in the arch broadcasting information about the contagion – it spreads through skin to skin contact, but people are still buying […]
Defiance: Good Bye Blue Sky Recap
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w2c8y6B6qyg] In case you’ve forgotten, last week’s episode ended with the song, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” and I’m giving the writers credit for that one – what a clever hint for this week. This episode opened with metal debris from old spaceships falling from the sky onto the […]
Defiance: Brothers in Arms Recap
“Brothers in Arms” opens on the busy Defiance marketplace, focusing on a Castithan man who is looking at the wares. My closed caption actually said [INTENSE MUSIC] when a human man spots the Castithan and gives chase. When he is cornered, the Castithan pulls his necklace off and throws it […]
Defiance: A Serpent’s Egg Recap
A whole lot of crazy was unleashed in this episode of Defiance, so put on your tinfoil hats and bear with me while we all sort out how we feel about it. It opens with Alak Tarr inexplicably deejaying from inside the St. Louis arch before announcing that the land […]
Defiance: The Devil in the Dark Recap
(I’ve just jumped on board Nerdophiles, so this is me continuing to play catch up.) “The Devil in the Dark” is the name of Defiance’s third episode and, in my opinion, it doesn’t quite live up to the sinister undertones promised with a name like that. The episode opens on […]
Defiance: Down in the Ground… Recap
[This recap is a few weeks late due to finals.* Kylee will be covering the series from here on.] The second episode of Defiance opens with a flashback to twenty four hours earlier, when Elah Bandik was preparing to fight the Volge with Datak Tarr, who agreed to forgive the debts […]
Defiance: Pilot Recap
Honestly? I’m not sure what to think of Defiance just yet. It seems like it’s a pretty basic SyFy series. Nothing special. They keep things pretty campy and seem to be channeling a lot of Eureka in some ways. The lead character with the sort of strained relationship with his […]
