hoping and praying

Bring more DG on!

I thought this programme wass extremely well made, and i was really looking forward to seeing what happened to Zoe’s injuries, and how the mission would end, and what Beta was.

Majorly disapponted that not going to be able to see any more.

This program was excellent, but I wasn’t suprised when it got cancelled as quite a few programs over there that we UK folk like get cancelled. But its doesnt help the fact that when people miss a program theres some who record the program and put it on the net for free and the networks miss out of the viewers real ratings. If they included all the people who download the episodes too they would find better ratings.

I think it maybe needed a battlestar galactica esque style where really good character development is broken up with great drama or action sequences

Defying Gravity has intelligence, intrigue, some depth and more.
The actors are excellent, the storylines a little challenging, with the storyline expanding with each episode- I liked how the flashbacks kept giving us a greater understanding of the present situation, so i was often suprised by it – and when Maddox worked out thru the flashbacks we saw what had happened to Zoe and him, was a kinda tearful moment.

In the UK, it was on late, and often changed times and days, so though not a problem with those with bbciplayer, i understand that it was a bit of effort to watch it other than bbciplayer, and not everyone can stay up late for.
I notice there have been a lot of comments in support of this from britain, and it reminded me a little of bbc programs like doctor who, and other programs that are not afraid to show characters that have deep flaws, with difficult decisions to make, that are questionable if they are the right ones. This did make it uncomfortable to watch at times, but in a good way, i think programs that challenge us, and encourage the questioning of our life views is good for most of us at least.
The program does challenge and address deep issues….like religion, ethics, etc.

I’m not happy that is was described as ‘entertaining to women too’, as if sci fi is a mens only attraction – the amount of female fans david tennant has as the doctor in doctor who shows that both females and males like sci fi.

It was good though that it had such strong female leading roles, as well as mens roles, but this should ideally happen in sci fi that isn’t described as ‘entertaining to women too’.
I’m glad there was a kinda happy ending at least in ‘kiss’, despite zoe and maddox making decisions that i didn’t necessarily agree with (e.g. Zoe not telling Maddox earlier, and shutting him out when he came to her, Maddox for finding someone else when he clearly loved Zoe), I know that so many make possibly the wrong decisions, like the characters in this, there isn’t really ‘good’ and ‘bad’, there just are reasons for people acting that way, as with all of us.
(there is no good or bad, just consequences’ as I’ve been told!)
Despite Maddox’s infidelity (kind of) and Zoe’s lies, I couldn’t help wishing them to get together, and to see Maddox’s face at the end, all protective, and loving, was a real good acting moment……

I’d be really interested in reading a book of the rest of the story (though would miss the excellent actors etc from the tv series), to find more about the mystery of Beta – are the humans putting together aliens who will destroy them, or help them? are they illusions? are they something else altogether? who is that person that nadia keeps seeing?- it looks like her dressed as a bloke? what will maddox and zoe be like now after so much has been revealed? will they still like each other now there isn’t the tension there was before….. well, theres plenty of open questions along the way.

I believe that had it been advertised properly and shown at a decent time it would have attracted much bigger audiences.

It’s intelligent plot line and character development were a refreshing change from most of the rubbish calling itself science fiction which is usually shown on TV.

This show really deserves another chance!

I loved Defying Gravity – just finished watching the last one and jumped onto the net to find out when the next series was starting – cancelled!!!

They can’t leave it there – I need to know what happens next? Will the genetic changes help Zoe heal from her burns? Will Gen be the next to be tested?? What a shame – it’s a bit like reading the first novel in a trilogy and then being told you can’t read the rest.

what a bummer!
