TV SHOW REVIEW: Defiance S01E12

What an exciting two day run trying to finish episodes 1 to 12 of season 1. Episode 12 delves radically into the existence of a god, Irisa enters into the cave to save his stepfather Joshua Nolan, shot by Earth Republic soldiers in the pitch battle to rescue herself. The cave represents strongly Irizu, the Irathient god.

Meanwhile, Amanda Rosewater loses to Datak Tarr in the bitterly contested mayoral race. Datak kills an Earth Republic major for disrespecting him. The episode ends with Earth Republic soldiers descending upon Defiance.

More or less a very exciting run by far. I can't wait to see more of the future episodes. More than just a sci-fi series, Defiance delves into the perennial human issues of love, commitment, community, friendship, family and the ties that bind humans across races - the need to survive at all costs amidst the uncertainties of life. It eludes into the meaning of life, of heroism, of sacrifice.

Episode 12 showcases in no uncertain terms the "hero persona." A perennial theme in human literary masterpieces. Most of all, it talks about relationships and the need for communication as critical in order to navigate the complexities of social relations and survival.

It left me longing for more, expecting for more. The adrenaline rush has just begun.
