Defying Gravity 1x13 - season finale **spoilers** - lets discuss!

Richard Dower

Tis out, tis over....like over over, no more eps.
Your thoughts on the final episode + the series overall?

Richard Dower

So what?....no one watched?, no fanz huh?....anywhoo, not alot happened, Zoe grabbed Gamma and got badly burned. usual relationship stuff interspersed with Sci-Fi. It just ended....no idea what the objects are about or an overall arc.

Pity, it had potential, decent CGI, the characters are pretty bland but the Sci-Fi element had some interest. But it's all mute now as the show is over....aah well.

Another tv show that gets axed early, recurring motif in tellyville.

thanks richard i forgot this was out - topic remined me!

now all we need is a poll

Mr E

Feck off with your polls, User.

Early reviews (here and around t'internet) put me off even watching the pilot of this. Was it worth watching in any way?

Richard Dower

I doubt most would like it, the Greys Anatomy relationship stuff overpowers the Sci-Fi for the first five eps., we got more Sc-Fi in the lattter part. The ship and CGI look great, it's not cheapo stuff. I think it tried to incorporate two genre's....but it didn't really work.

Neither genre was strong enough to carry the show off, so personal choice to watch...i watched it 'cause Friday/Sat is slow for telly stuff....it passes 42 mins ok.

just watched, i suppose this ending was allot like the show - i would be interested in finding something from the makers about what the objects where going to be - just to satisafy my curiosity. i would be more pissed off if the shiow had really picked up and then ended on a clifhaner as it stands im not that bothered its gone

Awful awful stuff. I did watch it but as kind of car-crash TV. I get the impression the studio wanted "Sci-Fi for women" as patronising as that sounds. They obviously spent a lot of money on the show but I have never seen such a group of cliche characters in one show. There wasn't one character, major or minor, who wasn't a two dimensional (If even that) cardboard cutout from other shows. Even joey-from-bread!!!!

If they wanted Sci-fi they had an interesting premise and should have gone for it harder: factored in communication lag for extra tension, tightened the space available on the ship, brought in a little more tech scenes (Not trek mind you, but just a little).

If they wanted that melodrama set it on earth, in a hospital, or a law firm.... oh wait.

Such a waste of Ron Livingstone. (and that blonde girl who always looked like she was going to cry was the worst.)

That's the thing there, after 13 eps I don't even remember the names of the two prime characters. Ya just don't care.

This pretty much sums up the show.
