Defiance #1: The World changed. Life endured. The Struggle continues.



#1

Plot;
The series is set in the near future, where aliens known collectively as Votans have come to Earth seeking a new home after their solar system was destroyed. However, when they reached Earth, they discovered despite a prolonged negotiation with the government on Earth, they were not welcome. Rather than turn away, they began a war with the humans as they are determined to make Earth their new home. During the war, the Votans drop terraformers on the planet and transform the surface of the planet; scorching the earth, opening chasms in the ground and covering the surface of the planet in dust and debris. After decades of war, a ceasefire is declared when both sides realise they must focus on survival on this new almost alien planet. The series largely revolves around the character of Jeb Nolan. Jeb was only ten years old when the Votans arrived and he served in the military during the war. With the war now over, he returns to his hometown of St Louis to find it's is no longer the city he left; it is little more than refugee camp. Deciding his services are needed, Jeb takes up a position as the Chief Lawkeeper in Defiance, so he can protect the town from dangerous clashes between humans, aliens, military scavengers and other dangerous visitors who occasionally enter the town.

Thanks for getting this started

I still need to check out the pilot, but the promo looked quite promising

This is the show with the associated computer game, isn't it? Sounds quite interesting - thanks for the new thread.

Can you watch/understand the show independent of the video game?

I think so

Watched about half the pilot last night (didn't know it was a 90 minute one), will watch the rest tonight, it did hold my attention so far so that's good.

They say you can.

From what I've seen/read, the video game will take place in San Fransisco while series is in St. Louis. The video game will focus on scavenging the Ark Falls (ships coming out of orbit, like seen in the beginning of the pilot) and the series will focus on the drama and action of the town of Defiance.

So yes, separate but existing in the same universe.



I so hope they keep it for a long time. Maybe so long as the video game profits, they will keep the show? I love it, unfortunately shows I love seem to get cancelled.


I was surprised a lot, the preview does it's job of being vague and the show moves fast.
What I like/didn't see coming:
(Very minor spoilers if any, I am trying to be vague if you haven't watched it.)
Nolan standing under the arch at the end thinking of his youth. Please note the girl.
What happened to Irisa's family.
I liked Kenya! I wasn't expecting to. I don't care for the KenyaxNolan relationship, but I like both of them.
The Doc is HILARIOUS (my sense of humor...)
Mini story lines that added to the world, ie.: meaning behind "Defiance"

I have theories already. Some more far fetched than others. Anyone willing to come be obsessed with me?

Well, considering that you like both Firefly and the Kate Daniels series, your approval carries weight with me. I'll watch the pilot (if I can find it through, um, dubious means ) and we'll see if I'll join in the obsession!

Eeexcellent. I eagerly await your watching.

More people need to give Sci-Fi and Fantasy a chance so the series/shows can live! I mean, everyone seems to thing Game of Thrones is cool and I don't like it. :c (GASP! Now I'll be kicked out of scifi/fantasy fandom everywhere.)
Edit: Except Arya. I got books from the library strictly to read her parts. VERY difficult.

I really enjoyed the first episode. It was different, and the storyline's definitely worth exploring.

Why thank you. I adore them already!

I am curious about Stahma's motivations, whether she is supporting her husband or her son more....

I want the next episode now. :c

I think she just likes power. She wants to support them both, so she found a way for them both to get what they want. i can't tel if she has evil motivations yet.
