Defiance

I am not a spacey kind of person. Besides Star Wars, I just can not get into space themed movies and television shows. I have never seen Star Trek, or Star Gate, or even Firefly. This doesn’t mean Phillip doesn’t try very hard.

After all, I wanted nothing to do with doctor who.. and after he forced me to watch an episode in bed with him one night, I am now slightly obsessed with all things Dr Who.

So I am fixable, it would seem.

This brings me to my new love, Defiance. If you haven’t seen it, I’m not going to ruin it for you. But I will tell you it is fucking amazing. I love it. You have humans, which are actually the least interesting race in the show. My favorite character is Irsia, the Irathient. She’s freaking amazing. You have to love her fiery persona.

From what I can gather, the Voltan collective – a group of seven alien races , came to earth to seek refuge after the collapse of their own solar system. Upon arriving on earth, they were greeted by humans in a hostile way. For a few years, there were negotiations, and eventually, a war. After seven years of wartime, the arks containing the the hibernating alien residents suddenly exploding, causing terraforming technology to change earth. The earth opens up, and the whole ecosystem becomes messed up. So the show seems set in the aftermath.

I am very interested in how this show pans out. I am also considering watching star gate.. Possibly.
