reception
“It will be interesting to see whether Defiance will in the future be more oriented towards a political series like Battlestar Galactica or maybe more in the direction of somewhat trashy space opera with soap elements. Both could find its fans, although fans of serious sci-fi entertainment will certainly still hope for an increase after the somewhat mixed pilot. Visual creativity and its [sic] well-humored protagonist only raise it slightly above average. "
