Aha! I bet you thought I’d forgotten about this site. Fooled ya!
It’s been a restful summer, sci fi-wise. There are a few sci fi shows currently airing, but they’ve not grabbed me. Then there was the demise of Believe, the show that could have and should have been so much more. I started draft after draft discussing its final episodes, but it seems rather silly to say anything now.
So let’s move on.
First up: Defiance
Have these two hooked up yet?
This summer has brought us the second season of Defiance. My best friend and her husband love Defiance. But they also loved Battlestar Galactica, a show I never cared for. I watched a few episodes of Defiance last year but quickly lost interest. I like Julie Benz; it’s great to see her in a strong female role. I like Graham Greene, but his character wasn’t (isn’t?) very likeable. The show killer for me, however, is Jaime Murray. I first saw her (and her breasts) on Dexter, where she played a despicable, often naked character. It formed a hatred of her that seems to have left a permanent mark. Not even her turn as H.G. Wells in Warehouse 13 softened my feelings.
