Jessica, I just watched a couple of clips on hulu and your description is 100% spot on.
Huh.
I'm not at all interested in the game play aspect of the Defiance project, but I'll probably watch the show.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I'm going to give the show a chance, but I've been skeptical of it for awhile.

When does it start up? Or have I missed it already?

Sometime in April, I think? Setting it in St. Louis with its distinctive arch rather than one of the coasts is a big plus in winning over my viewership. As is showing Grant Bowler strip off his shirt to fight someone in the previews.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am wholly unskeptical of Defiance, and Jess's description doesn't make me want to watch it any less. I don't necessarily mind derivative or predictable.
The game aspects don't interest me at all, although good for them if they can make that work, I guess.
Consuela, I can totally see the resemblance in that particular shot. Totally.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Caught my first Pushing Daisies rerun on Chiller (well, my DVR via Chiller) last night. I must have been a very good girl - it was an episode starring Joel McHale as the stiff - double-plus good bonus for me!

I read the first part yesterday, and what I really want to know is whether Ursa is wrong about Zuko's not being Ozai's son. Because what.
