Well that’s what you get when you watch ABC’s new SciFi TV show: Defying Gravity. From the makers of Desperate Houswives and Greys Anatomy, Defying Gravity strives to bring sex and intrigue into space. I Just hope they take more from BSG’s book than either of those two TV shows for the SciFi community’s sake. Personally Ive been waiting in limbo for some kind of television show reminiscent of Battlestar Galactica, and hopefully this show can fill the void. Defying Gravity Recently Aired at 9PM EDT on Sunday with 2 hours of episode.

Possible Spoilers below

Defying Gravity is essentially a Soap Opera, about a crew that sets out to Explore our Solar System. But there’s a twist! Some invisible entity controls the crews destiny although only the commanders of the expedition know about it. Whether this is a new take on Lost’s time traveling plane crash victims, or BSG’s Biblical Time loop has yet to be revealed. For now we know that problems keep arising and its due to something that lies within module 4.

The Show begins by revealing our Hero, who has been traumatized by a mission to mars. During his mission he was forced to leave 2 crew members to die on the planet. Now he’s training new Astronauts for a trip of a lifetime, a manned Exploration of our Solar System. A love interest is revealed when one of the trainees turns out to be a woman he met at a bar. Now their In Space together along with a Sexy Russian woman who swoons over our Heroes Sexual Prowess, Cue Drama!

Defying Gravity shows a lot of promise, but currently lacks a distinction. I think it will get better as the series progresses and visits to exciting locations around the solar System. For now I’ll just have to get my fix watching the awesome space ship, that looks straight out of the movie Sunshine.

The show is also attempting to bring in more of a rounded audience appealing to a larger female base. You heard me… Girls! A plus for all you SciFi geeks out there (now you’ll have something to talk about on that first date ^^). This is a must See if you enjoyed BattleStar Galactica or Lost
