Defiance

Tonight (Monday), the Syfy channels new show, Defiance opened up with the two hour pilot episode. I have to admit that in the first five minutes of the show I thought I was in for a long two hours. I'm happy to say that first impressions did not hold to be true. Within ten to fifteen minutes I found myself settling in for the show. Comfortably I might add.

I found the characters to be likable and it didn't take long for me to become invested in what was happening. It was rather predictable in places. But that isn't a real big deal for me. I can overlook predictable if they are driving the story well. If I had one thing that I didn't care for, it was the abruptness that they dump you into this 'new' Earth. They tease you a bit at the beginning with some tidbits of what went down to get you where you are, but I wanted more. I can only hope that over the next few episodes they will elaborated a little more to my liking.

Bottom line... If you like post apocalyptic futures mixed with a dash of the Star Wars Cantina, you'll probably like this show.

Did you watch the show? If so, I would love to know what you thought. Leave a comment and tell us what you thought.

Today the world governments have perpetrated the largest cover-up since Roswell New Mexico's UFO crash in 1947. The would be leaders of this world would have us believe that a meteor struck near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk today.

I say the invasion from mars has in fact begun. The footage of the meteor shows it moving much to slow. Just like in the film War of the Worlds. I give you these two pictures as proof.

Hard to tell which is from the movie and which is real! I say again... prepare your self for the imminent invasion!

BEEEEEEEEP!!!!

I INTERRUPT THIS REGULARLY SCHEDULED CRAZY FOR A BROADCAST -

SORRY... when I saw the video, I was instantly reminded of the scene from War of the Worlds. So I had to comment on its similarity.

On a REAL note. What an incredible event today (I don't mean that in a good way). Luckily the city was not hit directly. Even so, many people were hurt (from the blast wave caused when the meteor exploded) and now face sub zero temperatures with homes that can no longer hold heat because of the blown out glass. The last report I saw said some 3000 buildings were without windows.

So far I haven't heard of any fatalities. (That's a good thing) What I did find horrifying is that people were actually thought to be busting out their own windows in hope of some kind of compensation. (How ridiculous is that!) I hope that people keep their heads and work together to make this situation better and not worse. My heart goes out to the injured and I'm thankful it wasn't much worse.

Here is a link to some amazing video of the event.
