When you're talking about shitty sci-fi, that rarely matters.

Defiance would make good background noise since overall it's surprisingly bland.  Interesting background and not terrible or anything, but for a show with a bunch of aliens on a partially terraformed Earth, it's kind of dull.

On the other hand, Revolution actively tried to murder my intelligence.

Edit: You know what's funny is I used to know one of the associate producers of the show, but we haven't been in touch in over 10 years.  I should try to get in touch with him so I can let him know how truly awful his show is.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Orphan Black is also not a BBC show really. It was filmed in Canada, its actors are I think mostly Canadian and it's also REALLY GOOD.

Not background noise.

100% agree w/ schild on this show though - it's ok if you are seriously not paying attention.  If you try and pay attention, it_is_so_bad.

Every episode of OB was better than the previous and the first was damn good.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

He's a wizard....  Seriously, the whole show has been fantasy tropes in steampunk drag.

So this is one of the cancelled shows this spring. While it was almost inevitable it's still frustrating to see a show end without any kind of resolution of the plot (or the whole premise of the show). They do have 2 episodes still unaired but I doubt those will do much more than set up a the next (non-existant) season.  swamp poop

I still watched the this cuz it had some elements I liked.  Sucks that there won't be any closure for the show.

I sometimes wonder if networks would be well served to put an 'option' in all contracts to pull the cast back for a tv movie to end any series that doesn't get picked up.  I'd personally be more inclined to stick it out with a series if I knew it would have closure.  I gave up on this show 3/4 of the way through season one when the show seemed unlikely to get past season 2, even if it managed to be renewed for a season 2.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

Finished watching the season finale.  While it was nice to finally end the "Patriot" arc, it seemed rather anti-climatic for all the skullduggery and scheming that went on all this time.  And then to go to the all the trouble to set things up for what would have been season 3's "Nano" arc...what a waste.

Ah well.  Maybe now Rockne O'Bannon can get back to work on the new Farscape movie  DRILLING AND MANLINESS
