See more (Spoiler Alert!) » User Reviews A lot of clichés done well makes for good TV. 16 April 2013 | by Safetylight (Canada) – See all my reviews Reminds me of the old Masamune Shirow manga series, "Appleseed". Combine that with Mel Gibson's "Road Warrior" and a bit of "Babylon 5" with maybe a dash of "Command & Conquer" (yes, the video game), and you've got yourself "Defiance". Now, this sort of story has been tried before many times, and it has failed each time. (Earth 2, Revoloution, Dark Skies, Terra Nova, Outcasts) Either the writing was too naive and silly, or too dark and serious, or the casting failed to deliver engaging characters we liked and cared about. Or the budget simply fell apart. Any one of a dozen problems can sink this sort of show. "Defiance" might just get it right. The story is nothing we haven't seen before, but so what? There are no new stories; it's all in the delivery, the fun of the retelling. A pair of tough-as-nails left over warriors, survivors of a planet-wasting future war carve out a nomadic life for themselves in the badlands. They are tightly bonded, mismatched family for one another, an alien warrior princess and a human super soldier; they don't need anybody but themselves. So when their path takes them into the middle of new colony filled with politics and problems, desperate, hopeful people of many races trying to build new lives, our heroes have every reason to make tracks and head for the horizon. Such a town is just too much trouble, a great place to get bogged down and probably get killed. No thank-you. But of course, heartstrings are plucked, making it impossible to leave these babes in the woods to their own demise. Our heroes become protectors in the middle of impossible odds and ego-driven, racist rivalries and all the dirt which makes life a difficult place. A stupid, ugly town filled with stupid, ugly people. Who are also, people with good stuff inside them as well. An unfortunate mix, because if they were all bad, you could just leave them to rot without a second thought. But no, the audience is shown enough hope to want to see these people rise above themselves and just get along. It's fun as viewers to hope. And so our heroes decide to stay. Such a story would be an unbearable cliché if it weren't done, as this one is, with such a good deal of competence. The pilot worked, was entirely watchable, was fun, and shows plenty of promise. No, it doesn't have the unique charismatic spark of a Firefly, or the (albeit wooden) broad-stroke genius of Babylon 5. But it does have all the parts you need for a thrilling series, and better yet, it has the casting and acting chops to make the characters engaging.

  • Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis
    Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis Preached During 1941 by Bischop von Galen of Münster 2 Clemens August, Count von Galen Clemens August, Count von Galen, was born on 16th March 1878 in Burg Dinklage in Oldenburg. As the eleventh of thirteen children he grew up in the safeness of a deeply religious family. He attended the secondary school of the Jesuits in Feldkirch and obtained his leaving certificate at Vechta in 1896. After studying philosophy at Fribourg (Switzerland) for a short period, he resolved to become a priest. He was a student of theology in Innsbruck and Münster and was ordained on 18th March 1904 in Münster. After his ordination he became first a minor canon of Münster Cathedral. At the same time he was commissioned to accompany his uncle, Suffragan Bishop Maximilian Gereon, Count von Galen, on his journeys to conduct confirmations. In 1906 he became chaplain of St Matthias’ Church in Berlin. This was for him the beginning of 23 years of pastoral work in the capital of the Reich. After several years as curate of St Clement’s he was appointed parish priest of St Matthias in 1919. In Berlin he lived through the difficult times of the First World War, the troubled post-war period and a great part of the Weimar Republic. Great demands were made upon him by the diaspora situation in Berlin. In 1929 Clemens August von Galen was called back into the diocese of Münster and appointed parish priest of St Lambert’s Church in Münster. After the death of Bishop Johannes Poggenburg, Clemens August von Galen was made Bishop of Münster.

  • Defiance County Health Department
    Defiance County Community Health Status Assessment 2018 Examining the Health of Defiance County FOREWORD Once again on behalf of the POWER Defiance County Coalition, I am pleased to present the 2018 Defiance County Community Health Assessment Report. This report is the fifth community health assessment conducted by various social service, business, and government organizations in Defiance County in an effort to collect data reporting the health and health behaviors of Defiance County residents. Data was collected for this assessment with the assistance of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio. Monitoring the health of local residents to identify community health problems is an essential public health service. This health status assessment should be used as a guide for strategic planning and decision making. It can help our communities identify new health concerns, measure the impact of current community improvement efforts, and guide the judicious use of local resources. However, this is only one planning tool. A true plan of action for community improvement will require taking a closer look at these survey results; seeking additional information from community residents, service providers, and others; identifying populations at risk for specific health conditions, and choosing effective strategies that will truly improve the health of Defiance County residents when put into action. This report would not have been possible without the help of members of the POWER Defiance County Coalition as well as the groups who contributed financially. Both are acknowledged on the following pages. It is vital that assessments such as this continue so that scarce resources are used in the most advantageous ways.

    1 RESISTANCE MADE IN HOLLYWOOD: American Movies on Nazi Germany, 1939-1945 Mercer Brady Senior Honors Thesis in History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of History Advisor: Prof. Karen Hagemann Co-Reader: Prof. Fitz Brundage Date: March 16, 2020 2 Acknowledgements I want to thank Dr. Karen Hagemann. I had not worked with Dr. Hagemann before this process; she took a chance on me by becoming my advisor. I thought that I would be unable to pursue an honors thesis. By being my advisor, she made this experience possible. Her interest and dedication to my work exceeded my expectations. My thesis greatly benefited from her input. Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and believing in my work. Thank you to my roommates, Julia Wunder, Waverly Leonard, and Jamie Antinori, for being so supportive. They understood when I could not be social and continued to be there for me. They saw more of the actual writing of this thesis than anyone else. Thank you for being great listeners and wonderful friends. Thank you also to my parents, Joe and Krista Brady, for their unwavering encouragement and trust in my judgment. I would also like to thank my sister, Mahlon Brady, for being willing to hear about subjects that are out of her sphere of interest.
