This show could have been great could have brought syfy back to what it should be. First of all the CGI is from the 80's. Look at what other shows are like Falling Sky's amazing CGI Walking Dead very well wrote story line. Let's look at syfy's past accomplishments Stargate and Stargate Atlantis probably the most successful series to ever grace syfy in both story and CGI effects let's not forget Battle Star Galactica as well as Firefly. This show can't hold a candle to even syfy's previous shows.

Overall its a really good show. But could the directors please stop with the sex scenes? They really aren't needed and really detract from the show. I don't if they hint that Nolan was with the prostitute by having walking away from the room with her like they did in episode 3, but please stop with the full blown sex scenes. If those sto p then I would gladly rate defiance 5 stars, because it really is a good show

SyFy is trying too hard to make a show that has a fandom culture already setup. Trekies didn't come pre-built when Star Trek started. This show has some good stuff, but much of the story development seems more centered to developing a fan base for future Cons than for really driving the story.
