Tune in to find out about all the NEW SHINIES past the break! Listen now: DRAMA IN DEFIANCE Defiance Teaser http://www.defiance.com/en/series/video/2707538 (no link at youtube for international listeners but you can view the french ad here: http://youtu.be/_qffFEoncl0) It was a big week for Defiance fans due to the season two promo that was wisely included in the Helix premiere. Granted, I thought we were going to get something a bit longer than the thirty second blitz, but it still got the job done: I am officially excited about season two. First glimpses of LA (for those not playing the game, this is entirely new territory) - what is LA like in the game? Amanda now shooting anti-drug PSAs Stahma having some rough fun in the bath Alak in danger Irzu / Irisa #ReliveDefiance Defiance Rewatch Event We’re gushing all over everyone’s Twitter feeds for the next few weeks while we rewatch the show. We want to give US and European fans a chance to get in on the fun, so we’re rewatching Monday nights at 9:00pm EST and Tuesday afternoons at 4:00pm EST. @Hellbugs mentioned that Nolan had a sister in the last flashback scene in the Pilot, and sure enough, there was a small child there. These are the things you notice during a rewatch. Also have a new favorite Sukar moment. In the closing montage of the Pilot, he throws back a shot of everyone’s favorite blue drink at the NeedWant, and the grin on his face is absolutely fantastic. Monday, January 20 we’ll be rewatching Down in the Ground Where Dead Men Go (Episode 3) Who do you watch Defiance with in real life? Does your partner, or roommate, or friend watch it? Ben: I am lucky enough to have a wife who enjoys science fiction as much as I do so she will watch it with me most of the time. Michelle: I basically watch it solely with the online fandom, which is why live tweeting and Twitter. Almost a year after the Defiance debut, I’m still impressed with the online community. Defiance Demographics I took a look back at some rating and demographic info because after live tweeting with the fandom, I was curious as to the audience breakdown Big hit with that key demographic (18-49 and 25-54) with the premiere being the strongest at about 2.7 million (towards the end of the season it averaged around 1.5 million) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-syfys-pricey-defiance-440421 http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/tag/defiance-ratings/ Much better than Helix numbers Need to keep that up in season two - and the best way to do that is to get people hooked now by binge watching the show - and staying relevant, which can be hard to do over the course of an entire year, even if there is a video game to keep people interested I do wonder what the crossover demographic is between the game and television? A small slice of viewership or a large part of it?

Guided by the teachings of the Code of Bushido, the soldiers of the 7th Legion marched across Canada gathering survivors as they went. From one outpost to another they marched until finally they found a city which did not fall: Manhattan. There,
