Defiance: Everything Is Broken (2013)
A bit of a rush in more ways than one
The only criticism I would have about this season finale is it should have been a two hour episode. The pacing of this episode made it seem rather rushed. I won't go into detail so as not to spoil anything. I'd say this episode was a lot of fun but the previous one, "Past is Prologue," was much better, and set things up rather nicely.
I would think the writers will sit down over the next year and dwell further into the mythology surrounding the Votans. More interaction between the television series and the game is to be expected, as well as plugging a few additional plot holes. I'm sure we'll see more new characters and villains, characters returning (some in flashbacks) and a few leaving in order to advance the story. I very much look forward to Season 2 of Defiance.
Defiance: I Just Wasn't Made for These Times (2013)
There's a storm coming.
This show gets more momentous with each episode. We've seen hints of a coming storm. This is a lightning strike. A nice tie in with the previous episode. Nolan and Tommy have a look at the ship Sukar brought down. They make a huge find.
The writers of Defiance could have stuck with the common science fiction theme of a man stuck in time who awakens to a new world. This has been done since Rip Van Winkle. The new twist here is examining what it means to be human?
All sorts of questions to be answered and hints of upcoming friction. Questions being asked such as "what did you do during the Pale War?" Hang on folks. If this episode is any indication, we're in for a wild ride.
