How many handjobs did that one guy try to get this episode? It was funny and creepy all in one
Datak? They're suppose to be very sexual. I find him really scary ugly. He's not much better in real life either. I usually can find something attractive about most men, but Tony Curran is just.......creepy.
I love Doc Yewll.....she's so deadpan.

I get the sense the actress can barley speak through that makeup. It always sounds like she has a cold.
I thought the season 2 premier was ok, like the show in general. Good, not great.
You see him in doctor who? He's dashing in a beard....
No, he's not!
Brrrrrrrrrr......
This is the weirdest 'argument' all year...lol......hey, we will agree to disagree....
We just have different tastes in men.
lol, and for the record...guys can appreciate guys (not in that way)....LORD!
Sure they can. I've said on this board before that I can admire a nice set of ta tas.
Sure....I get that.....! People just get themselves too easily flustered with this type of stuff.....

I've been greatly enjoying this season so far.
All in all, I'm enjoying the return to Defiance. The show doesn't seem to have much buzz this time out. I feel like they waited way too long for season 2. I have the fear that we won't get much more than this season. But I'd love to be proven wrong. I just hope that, if this is the last season, we are given a proper send off.
The resolution of Datak's incarceration and his homecoming was worth the wait and powerfully staged. Plus, yay for Portishead! The Tarr's are one of the best aspect of the show (even Alak is becoming more interesting!) and I have yet to tire of their machinations. I hope this doesn't return us to business as usual, though. I was liking Stahma as head of the business.
I'll admit the whole Irzu thing has been a storyline that mostly annoyed me during season 1. But, this season its been much better. Irisa killing Bertie was shocking. That it's undone later undermines this somewhat, but I am (really for the first time) intrigued by where all of this is going. I must admit, I forgot where the heck Sukar was left last season. I need to re-watch my Blu Ray. For some reason I thought he was dead.
It's amazing what getting rid of some of the dead weight has done for the show, really. I really enjoy all the characters left, and Amanda's new role in the show is intriguing to be sure. I also really like Pottinger and Berlin. And it's great to see Tommy have a rougher side this season.

If I'm reading it correctly, the ratings are down from last year, almost half. That's too bad because it's a good show.

I haven't been keeping up with the ratings, but I had a feeling they had probably dropped. Honestly, I don't think the show has ever been as good as the pilot episode. I still watch and enjoy it for what it is, but it's definitely been a case of diminishing returns imo.

Yeah, the debut has been a bit muted. I mean, Syfy has been advertising it but if you weren't a regular Syfy viewer or (like myself) kept pretty close tabs on the Facebook it was easy to miss. Even I missed the premiere! I know the ratings took a hit, and it doesn't seem like a cheap show to produce. I've resigned myself that this could be it, but I'm still hopeful they might wrap up the story with a movie or something if the finale isn't planned. Still, Syfy has a lot invested in it, so maybe they'll give it another chance.
I think the series has potential but the game linked to it pretty much bombed big time. I should know as I was on the dev team that made it. It's unfortunate but with the game being a bomb, i don't think the defiance franchise can really survive too long.
