    Anyone going to give Defiance a try tonight? I've never watched a Syfy series (except WWE Smackdown )

    I play and love the MMO game for PS3, there might be some tie ins from the game to the show. The game takes place near San Francisco, the TV series takes place in what used to be St. Louis.

    I'm enjoying this one so far. I heard they got signed up for a second season already so that's good news.

    I'm just biding my time til July 14th and the end of Breaking Bad.

    Such a sad thing to see Breaking Bad end. I got on it late but it took over what I was watching and its def up there with one of the best shows I have seen

    I haven't played the game, but may have to pick it up sometime. As for the show, I have no damn clue what is going on, what the backstory is/was, what happened, but a little over an hour into the series premiere right now, it's not bad, despite being in the dark on the details. Have it set for a series recording on the DVR, so I'll have to keep with it. Especially now with Walking Dead over for another season and Hell on Wheels doesn't come back for a couple more months, so I don't have much in the way of series that I'm watching right now.

    There isn't a ton of backstory in the game either. I think it's a discover as you go. In the game you crash land into the west coast (where the game takes place). There isn't a ton of backstory to start, but there are a few cutscenes before you get into the action.

    Ah, well that's good! So I'm not the only one in the dark.

    Yeah, it was at least a good premiere. Despite being lost of everything that was happening, I did enjoy it, so definitely a show that I'll keep set to record and watch each week.

    Just started. Lot of the terms like arkfall make sense from playing the game. These two characters in the beginning are in the game also. Haven't dealt with them a ton yet though.

    Nice. I'll have to pick up the game then at some point, help explain, at least some, things in regards to the show.

    I love how cynical the doctor is almost done with the pilot. I'll definitely stick with it. Some interesting characters. I like the guy who plays Nolan (the lead character). Plays the character well.

    Yep. A hell of a twist they threw in there. Definitely do like it and same here, will stick with it. It's gonna be interesting to see where they run with things in future episodes, and how much more we'll find out about the backstory of everything.

    A couple of terms that I learned from playing the game that you see in the show (non-spoilers):

    Arkfall: Ships that fall from space. They could hold some EXPENSIVE alien technology that's good for trade (like the orb). There could be dead citizens in there, or hellbugs, but some good loot.

    Shitako: Self explanatory

    The show is pretty micro where the game is pretty macro (so far).

    Damn you TV Execs, stop letting the terrorists win. NBC Pulls ‘Hannibal’ Episode in Wake of Boston Bombings

    So now there is no episode 4, we just move on to episode 5 because we have turned into a nation of vaginas.

    New Rule: If a man refuses to use his balls they should be lopped off and fed to a feminist. Bryan Fuller, step up the shears.

    Has anyone checked out the Netflix original series Hemlock Grove? I've watched the first 4 episodes. It's kind of a slow developing show, but it has potential.

    Defiance was good again this week.

    Spoiler: show
    That was pretty cool to see "Old St. Louis", and how everything got messed up in the terraform.

    I wonder when we will find out what the former mayor old lady's reasons are for wanting to level Defiance.


    Now that I'm getting into Defiance. I'm getting the itch to watch both seasons of Falling Skies to catch up for June.

    Looks like Defiance is off to a good start.

    It's expensive so hopefully it's not another Terra Nova.

    Anyone watching the Amazon original pilots? Pilot for each show is is free for Prime members.

    Betas and The Onion Empire are my top picks. Zombieland is okay but it is hard to fully enjoy it without the original cast. It was good for a few chuckles and just moves on from where the movie ended. Did not care of Those that Can't, because it felt like a poor mans Workaholics.
