DEFIANCE Season 3

I'm still excited, however your Rafe and Datak = G'Kar and Londo has made me sad because SO TRUE and it was just getting into it's groove. So much potential.

"they were humans but they were our humans".
 
I feel like that ep was all about moving people to where they have to be. Datak and Stahma back in Defiance, baby in the family home. It was a bit awkward in places, Irisa is now a big liability.

I expect to see Pilar return like some psycho Terminator to reclaim her half casti prize.

Will they call him Bear? Did Stahma and Datak every know his name was Luke? Is he named Bear after by the writers after Bear McCreary?

Nice to see Datak after 7 months hunting for his family and watching his companion in the hunt and his daughter in law die and being sent on a mission by a psychopath to destroy everyone he knows in order to save his son's life still being a pissy little bitch to Stahma in the bath.
 
Yeah, I was kind of glad to see they Datak and Stahma still have their issues. I think with how bad things got it would have been unrealistic if we didn't get at least some bickering.
I wonder how it will be before someone figures out what they are up to or they confess?
I was a little surprised they dealt with Pilar so much already. I figured we'd get at least a few episodes before they realized she had the baby and tracked her down.
 
Oh, and - who's the lucky makeup guy that gets to paint Jamie Murray white all over? :adore:
 
Irisa is now a big liability.


As big a liability as Datak and Stahma? If Alack dies, will those two still stick together against everyone else? It shouldn't take much to bring down the Arch, but it is associated with their son. Of course so was Christie, but she was only human.

Isn't it funny how the aliens disparage the humans when this is a human planet and they don't seem to acknowledge that they themselves have no right to it.
 
I forgot to mention before that I couldn't help but laugh at the Terminator reference. I guess the writers just couldn't resist throwing that in there at least once.
 
Arkfall destroyed a lot of governments and all legal entitlement contingent on the existence of those governments.

A disaster on that level respawns everything, and most of the planet was unclaimed land, or became contested land.

but that was almost 20 years ago.

But the humans were still there first unless the Votans have taken leasons from the British Empire on the concept of Terra Nullis.

Well, the VC, think that it's someone's land, otherwise they wouldn't feel compelled to exterminate mankind completely, before they feel comfortable enough to take their shoes off and relax.
 
There is a lot less "this is our world" sentiment and aggression than you would think.

Probably has something to do with Defiance being founded by a bunch of people from both sides who collectively said "to hell that that attitude". I'm sure deeper into VC or E-Rep territory attitudes are a little more extreme.
 
I'm going to need to need some serious conversion when it comes to the Omecs.

Though Stahma being all seductive around her people's most FEARED and HATED enemy whose powers had reached myth like proportions was kind of :eek:

She really is quite the player.
 
Finally got around to watching this week's episode, and yeah, it kicked all kinds of ass. Although, just how long can anyone stay trusting of Datak? Even assuming he manages to squirm his way out of the gun sabotage by saying "well, I didn't know they were bugged, did I?" there's no way no one's going to not notice someone who already is considered suspicious and untrustworthy is up to no good. Especially if the town mayor has a grudge against that person.

And okay, so Nolan is pissed at Irisa because she had the Votan general in her grasp and refused to kill him. Understandable to a degree, as he says, she's no longer a reliable partner. But, Nolan himself also had opportunity to kill him. After Irisa ran off to throw the grenades at the machine, the general was still standing there and Nolan made no attempt to shoot him.
 
Plus, if you can hit a grenade flying thru the air with a 90° deflection shot, you can hit a motionless guy in the head while he's holding a short hostage.

That sounds about right.

There are surely still people with "Earth is for humans!" attitudes, but most of the folks in Defiance have already fought a war over that and doesn't want to hear it anymore.

Plus, you're already getting a generation who have never known anything but a blended planet. It's only the older folks who still remember when Earth was humans-only.
