Did anyone watch the pilot of "Defiance"?

As far as the SyFy channel finally putting a SciFi show back on the air, I liked it.
BUT, there was something lacking. I am not sure exactly what it is. I like all the different "aliens" and the sets. I don't know if it is the acting, or the fact that they are trying to make Nolan out to be a suave scoundrel, like Han Solo, and he is not pulling it off. I did like the strange twist at the end of the show.

I will keep on watching it until I get bored.
Out of 5 Stars... I think it would be a 3.5 - 3.8.

Thoughts????

I watched and thought it was decent...i didn't care for the over-abundant use of alien dialogue which of course meant endless amount of sub-titles..[i'd rather not have to read my way through a tv show]. The make-up and effects were believable but i had to wonder where the whole story was going at times or for that matter where it's gonna go from here. but i too will watch until i get bored.

The video game is the prequel to the show. Play the game and all your confusion will be fixed.

They could have the dialog once in the native language of the species then pull a Doctor Who or Hitch Hikers Guide to the galaxy and have a universal translator make it English...

oh. that's real simple. i guess it makes sense to shell out $60 just to know what's happening on a TV show. Not!

I watched it and I liked it, but like everyone says, I'll watch it until it's cancelled LOL... that thing happens a lot even with good shows...I liked the river but they cancelled it and a lot of shows like that.

it looks like a great show if you like good scifi. i like the characters.a lot of these shows have problems getting going because the actors don't get into character right away.this looks like a winner
