Defiance On SyFy

[Taosman]

The new SyFy series "Defiance" starts tonight and it's very complex. Maybe too complex. Of course there will be a video game tie in to follow. But it should be interesting so, gentlemen! Fire up your DVRs! (If you have any room left from recording "Vikings' on The History Channel) :tongue2:

I watched it last night (at least a part of it). Not too sure it's going to go far as it has the same premise as BSG did:

Aliens hate human.
Human hate aliens.
Human and aliens forced to team up to battle a common adversary, in this case, inhuman killing machines.

Sounds familiar....

Meh. Sorry to say it's disappointing. About equal to watching Warehouse 13. Oh, well. :(

I didn't notice any Cylons.

Volge

A race of automatons, disliked by all of the other Votan races, and the closest thing to a straightforward "villain" race. They stand over eight feet tall, are covered in dense armor, and possess integrated internal weapons. They come from a different planet in the Votanis system, Omec, and during the evacuation were intended to be left behind by the other races. No one knows who smuggled the Volge onto the Arks, or why, and their reappearance during the Pale Wars was a surprise to the other Votans. After the Pale wars ended they retreated to underground caverns, and continue to be hostile to humans and other Votans alike.[

a/k/a Cylons...

Those are the things they killed at the end of the episode, right? I figured those were just mechanized troops.

Really though, I didn't get a BSG vibe from this show at all.

Yep, they were the big arsed CGI bots at the end.

This show feels like a mixture of BSG and a show that I think lots of people have tried to rip off (and was pulled way before its time), Firefly.

Firefly I can see a bit. It seems like the main character is trying to be like Mal, but so far failing.

Speaking of Syfy it's their annual new year's Twilight Zone marathon. When the football ends tomorrow, I shall indulge.
