DOMINION: HOMEBASE

This is the first season and there will be 13 episodes.
Season one airs on Syfy from June 19-September 11 2014 on Thursday nights.
What is Dominion?
Dominion is an epic supernatural drama set in the near future. Specifically, 25 years after "The Extinction War," when an army of lower angels, assembled by the archangel Gabriel, waged war against mankind. The archangel Michael, turning against his own kind, chose to side with humanity. Rising out of the ashes of this long battle are newly fortified cities which protect human survivors. At the center of the series is the city of Vega, a glistening empire that has formed from the ruins of what was once Las Vegas.
Stars: Christopher Egan (Kings), Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy, Merlin), Tom Wisdom (300, The Boat That Rocked/Pirate Radio), Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones), Alan Dale (Lost), Luke Allen-Gale (The Borgias).

1x01 - Pilot
And a feature-length one at that! What are your first impressions?
Re: 1x01 - Pilot
Having said that, I think it was very entertaining.
I loved that little orphan that he's latched onto.
Anthony Stewart Head with that accent just freaks me out. lol I'm still used to him as Giles in Buffy.
I'm not sure how I feel about the chick that he was going to run away with. I think she may be a bit wimpy. The other warrior girl they would occasionally focus on seems nice and strong, but that would be way too cliche (and she needs to be her own woman).
The preview about ASH's boy maybe being a follower of the bad guys was interesting.
Re: 1x01 - Pilot
Totally agree on the accent. It just doesn't sound right.
I had to laugh because the romance subplot really made me think of Kings, mainly because Chris Egan was in it and his character in it was really similar to this one.
And I really enjoyed the last couple minutes from a purely shallow point of view.
Re: 1x01 - Pilot
heh, nothing wrong with shallow. :)
1x02 - Godspeed
So what did everyone think?
Re: 1x02 - Godspeed
Lots of tension and conflict being set up for Alex, Michael and Claire. The thing with Noma finding out about Alex and Claire was nice. I wonder if she's noticed that he doesn't do group showers any more ;)
I enjoyed Alex fighting Felicia and Michael fighting Gabriel, I enjoy the wings and angel strength and some decent wire-work. I thought Bixby was going to die, and I'm glad she didn't.
It's a bit clichéd but overall, I found this very watchable and kind of easy on the brain/emotions, which is exactly what I need at the moment.
Re: 1x02 - Godspeed
ITA. It's a good popcorn show.
1x03 - Broken Places
Thoughts, feelings, opinions?
Re: 1x03 - Broken Places
I thought Ethan was adorable! And I like that as long as you're not doing an 8-ball, the citizens of Vega don't really seem to care which way you swing.
Some sterling work from Tom Wisdom in this one too, first being badass archangel with Whele and then the manly tears when he's with Alex.
I'm warming to Claire - we saw more of her being a person this week, standing up to her dad and all.
I loved Gabriel's reaction at the end because that was unexpected.
Re: 1x03 - Broken Places
And the silly red armor angel, jumping the gun. Although interesting that the chosen one might also be helpful to Gabriel.
1x04 - The Flood
Feelings, opinions, thoughts?
1x05 - Something Blue
Your feelings about this episode, please!
Re: 1x05 - Something Blue
1x06 - Black Eyes Blue
The plot thickens... or does it? Thoughts please!
1x07 - Ourobouros
