Syfy Unveils Teaser For 'Defiance'!



The first trailer for ‘Defiance’ has now hit online! Developed by Rockne O’Bannon, who has written and produced sci-fi shows such as ‘Farscape’, ‘V’, Seaquest 2032’, and ‘Alien Nation’.

The series is set in the near future, where aliens known as Votans have come to Earth seeking a new home. However, when they reached Earth they discovered that despite a prolonged negotiation with the government on Earth they were not welcome. Rather than turn away, they began a war with the humans. During the war, the Votans drop terraformers on the planet and transform the surface of the planet; scorching the earth and covering the planet in dust and debris. After decades of war, a ceasefire is declared and both sides focus on survival on this new almost alien planet.

The series largely revolves around the character of Jeb Nolan. With the war now over, he returns to his hometown of St Louis. Jeb takes up a position as the Chief Lawkeeper in Defiance, so he can protect the town from dangerous clashes between humans and aliens.


Defiance is attempting to do what hasn't quite worked before: melding the world of television and video games. A massive multiplayer online game of the same name will tie into the series.

Defiance stars Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas, Tony Curran, Jaime Murray, Fionnula Flanagan, Mia Kirshner and Graham Greene.

Fringe?

I think there's been plenty of good sci-fi (including the aforementioned Fringe), but no truly epic sci-fi. The shows that I practically wore out the DVDs rewatching, like Buffy and Farscape. So it does give me hope to see the guy behind this was involved in Farscape. And Alien Nation!

Rockne O'Bannon, eh?
I'll give this a look, since Farscape was beautiful.

Oh, look, another white brodude protagonist! This is so original!/sarcasm
josh_the_k 16th-Oct-2012 11:03 pm (UTC)
Hmm. I don't know. Syfy set a new standard for programming with the Sharktopus movie. It's a shark ... and an octopus. It works on so many levels!
baby_phat_honne 16th-Oct-2012 11:11 pm (UTC)
LMAO! Their movies are so sucktastic now. I can't with that and the Jersey Shore movie and the other hybrid combinations they've done.
adirgeforher 16th-Oct-2012 11:06 pm (UTC)
so long from now
baby_phat_honne 16th-Oct-2012 11:10 pm (UTC)
I'm still not sure what I saw or if I even want to attempt to watch it. I guess I'll give the pilot a go if not pilot + 2 eps.
