When a show explores its darker side, it had better do it well lest it seem like wallowing.
The people of Defiance have seen plenty of tragedy this season, and they deserve their period of mourning.
Fortunately, some new seeds of conflict were planted that present some interesting possibilities leading into the final episodes.
Not that I have any idea where the Omec plot specifically is headed.
Surely the compliance implant in Yewlls neck will come into play in the future.
I appreciate the fact that Dataks dramatic escape last week remains a secret shared only with the audience.
Particularly enjoyable was the mourning ritual with the ink on her skin as she prayed.
These cultural touches are one of the strengths ofDefiance.
As Stahma prays, And so we praise you, Rayetso, and wait for this darkness to pass.
Though when it does, the skies will never be the same.
I have the feelingDefiancewont be quite the same in the coming weeks either.
