[RANK] 11 [SHOW] Defiance [PREVIOUS] 11 [TREND] ↔ [COMMENT] 
Well, hell, looking back at this week's Elite 11, there was more consistency than I thought. Lots of shows were flat (in the rankings, not in entertainment value, silly). A lot of neutral arrows. Anyway, as for Defiance, I'm sure some hardcore sci-fi types might argue that this should be higher. Maybe they have a point. But I'm not a hardcore sci-fi guy. If it gets a little too hokey, I wince a bit (which probably explains Rectify at No. 1 better than anything I've written prior, no?). I like Defiance. I like the world it has created. I like the action, the fact that it's entertaining. I wouldn't say it's ready for a big run up the rankings just yet, but it's here. And lots of shows are not. That should be good enough.
