So, I've been watching the premiere... and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.  Any thoughts from anybody else?

I haven't seen it, but I do know that the guy who invented the Dothraki language for Game of Thrones made like 3 languages for Defiance.

I watched it last night. Both the first showing and the encore presentation.
I like what i saw. Yes, there were the standard tropes. But that was off set by the characters and the great acting. I'm curious to see where they go over the course of the season.
I am too lost for shame
That it moves me unto mirth,
But I can vision a Hell of flame
For I have lived on Earth.

Isn't that the series that has the side-by-side mmo-fps?

it is, TGR.  I'm not terribly wild about the game, but I'm enjoying the series, as long as it doesn't veer too far into drama.

Was a bit cautious but was genuinely surprised.

To me, it was giving off Firefly and Farscape vibes, with a smidge of Eureka thrown in.  My roommate kept yelling at me every time I made a comparison :3
