So I was on Twitter a couple of days ago, and I saw some pics for this on Jaime Murray's feed. Thought, "yeah, this looks pretty cool, I'll go have a look."
I am now drooling rainbows and waiting impaitently for April 15.
It's got a bit of a Firefly ring to it.
You like?

Syfy has been promoting the hell out of this show, but so far I've stuck to my usual tactic of avoiding as much of that as possible. I prefer to watch a show with as little preconceived notion of what it will be like as possible. What I have seen leads me to believe it will look good, but the story is what interests me more. I couldn't care less about the video game tie-in since I'm not a gamer.

Some of the characters might be Firefly-esque, but since there are aliens it can't be that similar.

Well, until we get more details about it, I'm calling it "Tales of Earth That Was".

Who's to say that aliens didn't show up after the exodus?
Or even that they were the cause of it?
(yeah, Joss and whoever created Defiance but that's beside the point.)

I see the potential for some crossover fics here.
Shame I can't write worth crap.

Defiance has seven alien races while Morena Baccarin's very canceled V had only one. Maybe seven is lucky?

Official description:

“Set in the near future, Defiance introduces an exotically transformed planet Earth, its landscapes permanently altered following the sudden – and tumultuous – arrival of seven unique alien races. In this somewhat unknown and unpredictable landscape, the richly diverse, newly-formed civilization of humans and aliens must learn to co-exist peacefully. Each week, viewers will follow an immersive character drama set in the boom-town of Defiance, which sits atop the ruins of St. Louis, MO, while in the game, players will adventure in the new frontier of the San Francisco Bay area. The dramatic tapestry of the series and the intense action of the game will exist in a single universe where their respective narratives will inform one another and evolve together into one overall story.”

Lots of great videos on their YouTube channel...

The game tie-in is pretty interesting, too.

That's actually how I found out about it... I was stalking... sorry, looking at Jaime Murray's twitter feed.

Fingers crossed. We need some good sci-fi, dagnabbit!

So, anyone going to be watching?

After learning more details, it isn't so Firefly-ish as I initially thought, but still does look interesting.

Yeah, I'll be watching, with fingers crossed.
