Who Knew SyFy did good Sci-Fi?

The funny thing is, in this dystopia, St Louis is actually a much better place to live.

Seriously, though, it's fun sci-fi.  Earth isn't the same place it used to be.  Solid 1-2 generations of those who have been born on the new earth.  Also, at the beginning of the war, the alien races tried terra-forming earth to their liking, which is why it's all *expletive deleted*ed up.  Oh, and as a result of getting their alien asses kicked, there is an epic amount of trash in orbit that comes down from time to time.  And nasty alien critters and *expletive deleted*it that have been brought to earth, too.

It's a horrible movie.  But my wife and I were both entertained for two hours by Sharknado.  Kind of like our own little private MST3K.  Cuddle up on the couch and laugh at the movie.

I'm probably going to have to get Sharktopus vs Pteracuda on DVD.  I figure if a date can make that truly entertaining, nothing will ever be too much for us to handle together.

SWMBO and I will be cracking some beer and/or cider and watching Sharknado 2.  It's comedy gold.

Defiance Season 1 is available for free to Amazon Prime members.

A peace is reached in the mid-21st century, and everyone is trying to get by on what's left of Earth. I'm seeing elements of Babylon 5 (aliens) and Firefly (old/new tech mix, and an over-reaching govt body called the Earth Republic).

You forgot "whore that would be worth some serious money."

So, being a Prime member, I thought I'd check out Defiance.  Within the first fifteen minutes, the main character has to shoot some wild alien animals.  He shot 14 times.  He drew the handgun with his left hand, the first eight shots were with his right hand, the next two with his left, the rest with his right.  Apparently, which hand he used was determined by which camera he was facing.  These are the kinds of things that bug me.  Hopefully there aren't too many more of them . . .

Mirror images?

Mirror images?

Definite possibility.  In shots like that, it can be hard to tell unless the character has some significant asymmetry, and it's an annoyingly common cop-out on continuity issues even when it's fairly obvious. (On the occasions anybody bothers to give a crap about continuity anymore.)
