Summary: This episode's title says it all! Join Ben and Michelle as they discuss Alak's hot, chiseled abs, the addition of badass Linda Hamilton to the show, and the newest changes to the Defiance Game that make it so much more like the frontier. Have a listen after the break! Listen now: DRAMA IN DEFIANCE Relive Defiance Finale! Best scenes of the episode So many great scenes in this episode, so why don’t they actually add up to a good episode? Datak and Stahma - why, oh why, would she have let that “new trick” slip? But, this led to a great scene of Stahma in the voting booth after Datak finds out - still one of her best scenes all season Last scene with Amanda and Kenya - so many regrets Amanda will have as she looks back on that in season two Tweets from the fans: But now #ReliveDefiance is over, what do we do till then!? :o @defiancepodcast @womenofdefiance @HellbugsInLove — Daz Watford (@ThatsWhatUGets) April 11, 2014 So if Alak has to at least be the figurehead of the Tarr empire, who takes over as chief hipster of the town next season? #ReliveDefiance — Angeleeta (@MFAngeleeta) April 1, 2014 So what questions are we left with that need to be wrapped up? I’m still really fuzzy on what happened to Irisa… and how Nolan figures out that he needs to simply “find her”... Datak - did he try to get away? How far did he get before he was caught? How does Stahma break the news to Alak? Does he find out what his father did? When does the babymaking start? (wheres the honeymoon?) What happens to Doc Yewll? How does Pilar find her way back? And why now? Segue into Season 2 with Defiance The Lost Ones! Last time on Defiance Reporter, we tore apart and analyzed the first minisode of The Lost Ones and speculated about Nolan’s predicament, so lets begin there. Who was behind the barrel of the shotgun pointed at the back of Nolan’s head? YAY SNAKE CULT ISN’T COMPLETELY GONE! Brother in Arms in the New Frontier code? Betray your brother for a bit of scrip, hang back to watch him die or have a change of heart, and when everything turns out ok, all is forgiven? I’m torn with this being a true Nolan move. I wouldve thought he would have slugged Lenny, THEN forgiven him. Yeah, you really just can’t rely on people in New Earth Nolan’s parenting skills are quite intriguing - the relationship development between the two of them is very good (knives as a form of combatting PTSD) Chicago? Are we going to see the downfall of the Snake Cult in the first episode or two before we move on to the inevitable taking back Defiance plot? I really hope so. I hope this is all settled within a couple of episodes and we get back to the other plotlines - that snake cult is one scary group We really will see so many new areas in season two, which is really exciting: Chicago, Los Angeles Love the minisodes - wish we could have gotten more with various characters, but this is a great start to the season Other Season 2 News Check out the Defiance Season 2 Extended Trailer! http://youtu.be/uoIHzO2sGsw 'Defiance' first season 2 trailer, Linda Hamilton to guest star - EW EXCLUSIVE http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/08/defiance-season-2-trailer/ New cast members include James Murray as Niles Pottinger (the new mayor), William Atherton as Viceroy Mercado (an Earth Republic official), and Anna Hopkins as Berlin (an Earth Republic soldier).
