The making of SyFy’s Defiance

SyFy has a new show coming called Defiance set 35 years in the future after aliens have arrived on Earth. Weirdly, as well as being a TV show, it’s also an online multi-player game that will interact with the show’s storyline. Here’s a great big movie about the making of both. Yes, sadly, it has Jaime Murray in it:

Damon Lindelof’s very long, detailed defence of Lost and its finale

Lost has, amazingly enough, been off the air for two years now, but the controversy about its ending continues. Former co-showrunner Damon Lindelof is in the middle of promoting the movie Prometheus, which he also wrote, but took an amazing 25 minutes to argue and discuss the merits of the Lost season finale with a guy from On The Verge.

I’m not sure the guy in question nails the problems with the finale – and the fact he thought the entire series was imaginary is an obvious issue with his questioning. To me, the problem was that the explanations we got were just either inconsequential and lacked depth (okay there’s a man in black and Jacob and their mum and a glowing light under the island. Is that genuinely what this is all about?) or they just didn’t answer the questions that needed answering (how did Jacob pick everyone? How did the numbers work? What actually is the nature of the island?).

But what do you think?

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!
