Syfy's new series Defiance premieres April 15, however the Trion game will be released tomorrow. The television series revolves around Joshua Nolan (Grant Bowler) and Irisa, an Irathient (Stephanie Leonidas), as they end up in the city of Defiance, where the Pale Wars were fought. In this near future, multiple alien races, called collectively the Votans, have come to Earth after their solar system was destroyed. The Votans and the humans attempt to live together harmoniously after they refused to continue to fight and lose innocent lives during the war. However, of course, life in Defiance is less then easy, as Nolan and Irisa will soon find out.
The game, by Trion Worlds, will feature some of the characters from the series. Some events will crossover between the two formats. In the game you can choose to play as a human or Irathient, with possibly more options coming later. The massive multiplayer online game will be different from others because of the way it ties into the show. It's quite a unique experience.
The executive producer and showrunner of the series, Kevin Murphy, along with Trion's VP of development, Nathan Richardsson, recently talked to the media about both the series and the game.

The Wigs web series Lauren will be premiering its second season May 3rd. The series follows a third-generation soldier (Lauren, played by Troian Bellisario) in the aftermath of a rape and beating by her superiors. The story focuses on Lauren's struggle to do what's right, even when the miltary doesn't have her back. The series also stars Jennifer Beals as Major Stone, who walks the line between getting justice for Lauren and keeping her loyalty to the military.
I suppose, after the previous episode, the Brothers Winchester deserved a bit of a break. I’m not sure how much of a break this actually is, or whether or not a callback to “Adventures in Babysitting” was really necessary, but there we are. And since the show has run a lot longer than anyone ever imagined it could, I suppose it’s time for the writers to address what it means for the Hunters to raise the next generation in the post-apocalyptic era.
Rather quickly, the first season of
The experimentation into different case formats continues. Honestly, I think it would be a shock at this point to see the standard courtroom battles again. “Death of a Client” keeps its central focus on Alicia, which is where I believe the strength of the series lies. It’s framed around the “Shamrock Dinner”, mentioned in the previous episode, and all of the episode’s events spring forth from the apparently uber-important party. It gives the series an opportunity to address the political storyline that has lasted throughout this season.
Fox's American Idol is currently midway through its twelfth season. This time the competition has new judges in addition to veteran judge Randy Jackson. One of these new judges is singing sensation Nicki Minaj, who recently talked to the digital media about her time so far on Idol.
After the disappointing and anticlimactic resolution of the “dawning” ceremony, it makes sense that the writers would want to take a step back, return to the “fae of the week” roots a bit, and use character interactions and relationships to explore the changes in Bo and those around her. Some of that does take place, but it still seems far less than one could reasonably expect. After stealing her friends’ energy without their consent, shouldn’t Bo be on a shorter leash?
It’s pretty clear that the season is building to a big finale, and this episode is setting up a lot of the pins that will be knocked down along the way. As usual, no matter how good things seem to be getting for the cast of
The latest contestant voted off of American Idol was Tennessee native Paul Jolley, who has described his style as a blend of country and pop. He recently talked to the digial media about his journey on Idol, as well as his plans for the future.
