Zoom I’ve been slowly, cautiously getting into Defiance. At first blush, it comes across as a hodgepodge of other shows and concepts: 
It plays the sci-fi Wild West card pretty hard (Firefly)
Aliens are forced to seek refuge on Earth (Alien Nation)
It’s got an adult man/teen girl team-up sans any skeeviness (Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone)
There’s alien mysticism (Babylon 5)
And there are multiple alien races that don’t always get along (Farscape)
But there’s something that works about it for me, despite the above and the fact that most of the aliens are basically white humans with prosthetic makeup (Star Trek). So, I’m sticking with it…for now.
Other thoughts or opinions?

Zoom It was 10 years ago today that the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired (Season 7, Episode 22 “Chosen”).
Oh god, I miss that show.

Wow.

Pointe shoes and Pokeballs: how one choreographer brought Pokemon to life through dance

“Unfortunately I didn’t have enough people to make the manga or the anime storyline come to life,” he adds. “I wanted 36 people to do the video game version and I was only able to get 23, so there was alot of mixing and matching of genders between people. And after all was says and done, I just couldn’t get any more guys.”

Zoom scificovers:

Magnus, Robot Fighter #7, August 1964. “The Power of the One Thousand” Cover art by Russ Manning. Insanity is spreading through the robots and throwing the city into chaos. All part of Xyrkol’s evil plan… Added to that are the gophs, “petty criminals and anti-socials … gopher-like people who never leave the lowest levels except to cause trouble.” Do they wear all black?
