How very English of you.

This episode seemed a bit like Commander/Admiral Adama suddenly coming clean to the ragtag fleet that he really didn't know how to get to earth. That quest in BSG seemed to keep the remnants of humanity together. I don't know where the writers in TWD go from here, let's hope it's something that's not too ridiculous.
Just what we need! A show with more Asian female eye candy for guys with yellow fever, as though the nightly news didn't have enough. But hey, it's got a built in white male lead, so white people are sure to be interested in watching it. All cynicism aside, I'll give it a shot and since some GOT directors are in on…
Nice version, although parts of it really, really, drag…
(spoilers) Why did Rick's crew go back to the church when he did to arrive just in time to rescue the others from barista Gareth's crew? That part seems a bit too neat. I guess it was to avoid a messy showdown at the church doorways. Earlier we saw both groups conveniently miss each other as Rick's group left the…
I just saw them tonight at the United Center in Chicago and they totally rocked! I think a sold out arena would have to agree with me and I don't consider myself a fan. I'm still not sure if I like them that much, their songs have some great hooks, but their singing doesn't create an emotional connection with me.
It's too bad they couldn't keep the storytelling intensity on par with these last two episodes. I think that the show probably lost viewership along the way because for 3 or 4 episodes, Defiance seemed to be floundering. I think I may have fallen asleep at one point.
Well, if you do analyze it, maybe it was a bit structurally awkward. On the other hand, with all the stuff going on, it felt like the most immersive episode in that I felt myself getting pulled into the 18th Century world of Outlander. The oath, boar hunt, and shinty scenes were well staged and were huge steps in…
It's too bad Robin Williams isn't around to explain the origin of shinty.
(SPOILER?) I'm a bit disappointed from some of the earlier comments to learn that Geillis is probably villain. For awhile I thought she probably came from further in the future than Claire, or maybe she does? Her accent sounds more suspicious and her red hair dye looks cheesy. Can't wait to find out if there are…
Lotte Verbeek is stuck in another fall-spring relationship, just like in the Borgias. I guess she's used to older men by now, but what a come down from Jeremy Irons!
It looks like parts of this castle served for many of the scenes you have listed. Check out this excerpt from YouTube: http://youtu.be/ey0wvGiAH9g The first instance of French taunting seems to be Castle Doune, but the second French taunting scene looks like another castle.
Fun fact: Castle Leogh is actually Castle Doune, the one used in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". This was revealed in the short extra after this episode.
It's a good thing for this show that it has some fun character interactions, or I might have turned it off when I found out who and why Pottinger was behind the "return" of Kenya. There's plenty of head scratching writing to go around, so much that I think I've started scratching other body parts.
I had the impression that Claire unwittingly stumbled on an open secret, which is that the boy is his uncle's son, not the laird's.
This was a ho-hum episode to me. (Spoilers!) It looked like the writers backed themselves into a corner by forcing Amanda to silence a likely informer because they didn't have a creative way to resolve the crisis so they left it all up to a fortunate, yet familiar chain of events that to me didn't come across as…
Yeah, maybe the implication is that the Viceroy is wrong and it's not the Castithans the humans have to be worried about… Did anyone stick around to watch the season teasers?
This episode is an example of Defiance at its best in that the pacing keeps the viewer off balance. I really didn't expect Jalina to be killed and then disposed of by feeding her to a hellbug. The Viceroy's offer to put Rosewater back as the mayor as an E-Rep agent was something of a surprise. We got more material…
I saw this flick back in the '80 in bits and pieces on cable. I saw it again recently on Netflix as background video. The comedy is so obvious you could miss it. Back then I thought it was almost cool, but I feel like the writers just barely shanked it. In my opinion it has some cool components(John Lithgow, guys…
Ethan is a toaster! For a moment I was feeling nostalgic for Battlestar Galactica. Thought provoking idea to have the scene featuring another "humanick" without the skinjob following the scene with angry villager parents. After that scene, the idea of adopting Ethan seemed more ridiculous. Ethan's pigeon…
