And Singapore!

As mediocre as the prequels were, I didn't hate them as much as I hated Avatar.

I don't think I've ever even actually watched Titanic (it came out when I was pretty young), and I could tell you about a number of the apparently iconic scenes from the movie.

I think it's only surprising because most mention of Native Americans in school is in a historical pre-1900 sense.

He did indeed, hence the comment about ethnic slurs.

I think people just bitch about them because they never stop (and because they're so trivial compared to the story). Not because of the consequences of ignoring them.

Guac's not extra if you're vegetarian, though, which I appreciate.

Tory Ellis! I knew Maya Stojan's character looked familiar.

They already used that nickname last season.

You are correct.

If nothing else, the Tarrs *do* communicate. Though it has often been to insult each other.

Yep. They also needed someone to actually conflict with Pottinger in a sort of pragmatic sense (i.e. aside from the usual moralizing/romantic-sexual weirdness with Amanda).

Datak's the "loved one", Alak's the "chosen one", and Stahma's "summer". They totally live up to their names, right? :P

I'm guessing that they probably don't do the subtitles themselves but rather someone else transcribes them afterwards.

My only (continuing) question is why clone-Kenya didn't tell Amanda the truth about Pottinger's involvement (in addition to Yewll) before running off.

What, exactly, are "hallicunations"?

Yeah - Defiance has its weaker episodes, but Falling Skies has (especially lately) gone to shit. The writing this season is exceptionally bad.

That is actually one of the things I'm liking about Defiance as well - it does a good job of humanizing the characters or at least making them interesting, even the "villains".

Ah, yeah, those are probably matter of owning the rights. The Come As You Are cover is by Civil Twilight, if you're looking for it. I dunno about the others.

Incomplete in the sense of "not all the songs are there"? It was released after the first season, so any songs from the second season wouldn't be on there. If they missed any (original songs/covers) from season 1, though, they might be on a second soundtrack…
