Hi there :)

So I’m currently conducting a study on morally ambiguous characters and their audiences for my bachelor dissertation and am in desperate need of participants. But since this is Tumblr and there’s a ton of people on here who are just as much into TV shows and their characters as I am, I’m hoping that you guys can help me out.

Basically, I’m trying to see whether there are any connections between audiences’ personalities and viewing habits and their liking or disliking of certain morally ambiguous characters. 

Unfortunately, I was only able to feature 4 specific characters (for length reasons) and you can only participate if you know at least one of them.

The characters featured are:

Since I need a lot of participants for the study to really mean something (and my prof to be happy), I’d really, really appreciate you guys helping me by filling out the questionnaire (in English or German) and / or spreading the word. I’m thankful for every single one of you who joins in.

And if you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to ask / talk to me. 

Thank you so much in advance! :)

Make me a weapon, too. Better we die together, don’t you think?

Defiance > Season Three > The World We Seize/The Last Unicorns

Meet the Omec’s : Kindzi & T’egvin

Kindzi is the daughter of T'evgin and thusly the alpha female of the Omec, the race that served as overlords of all the other alien races of Defiance before their exodus to Earth. She’s all sorts of fierce and scary as hell. (x)

This Friday begins the third season of Defiance on Syfy. Unlike last year, chances are Defiance is also airing starting this month outside of the USA as well. Huzzah! This means, more or less, everyone gets to watch and experience Season Three together.

This means that for Season Three there can be a stronger, more unified social media presence. Please read below for fun tips and more on engaging with Defiance over social media and ways you can support the show we love.

Before You Watch

Social Media Basics

Twitter and Facebook are definitely up there with the best ones for doing so. Here, there are lots of things you can do, such as:

Follow the official Defiance Twitter account

Follow the official defianceworld tumblr account

Like the official Defiance Facebook page

Add #Defiance to your Twitter bio

Want to follow cast and crew on social media?

While You Watch

One of the best features of the Defiance community is the strong live tweet presence this show has. While there are many shows out there that have casts who tweet along with the live broadcast, we can’t think of many where the cast not only tweets but actually takes the time to interact with the fans’ tweets. It’s one of the reasons we watch Defiance live: to experience the show and the live tweets from cast, crew and Vofans alike.

A Few Quick Words About Tweeting

Be courteous to everyone in the Vofan community! We’re a relatively small fandom and it’s great that everyone has the opportunity to take part in this experience. We enjoy the myriad of opinions in the group and we take pride in the fact that not everyone agrees all the time. Remember that we are all here because we all love Defiance and we encourage respectful interaction among fans.

Be respectful if you’re tweeting at Defiance cast and crew or Syfy staff. Don’t demand follows, replies, retweets, favorites, spam them, threaten them, etc. We’re fortunate to have an absolutely superb cast who actively engages with their fans over Twitter and at conventions around the world. Be polite, be respectful, be kind - we can’t stress that enough.

Remember: Always #Defiance your tweets!

1) Use the #Defiance hashtag only once per tweet.

2) Retweet tweets using #Defiance. If you retweet and comment using that new Twitter feature, be sure to add #Defiance to what you write.

3) Use the hashtag in each of your Defiance-related tweets.

4) Interact with other fans and the cast live tweeting. Hell, retweet a cast tweet add #Defiance on there if they left it out.

5) Tweet to the sponsors and add #Defiance to your tweet. Thank the companies that purchase ad time during Defiance…especially the good folks over at Dodge who make those busted-ass rollers you see on the show and in the game. Make sure that your tweets are positive engagement!

6) Adjust your trending settings. This is absolutely critical. Every time there is a tweet that says, “DEFIANCE IS TRENDING!!!”, we want to find the off-switch, settle our tab and collect our scrip. It’s easy to get #Defiance to trend locally on your device when you’re following a whole lot of Defiance-oriented accounts. In order to see if #Defiance is trending for the USA, adjust your settings to the following:

a) Click Change where your Trends are located.

b) Choose Change when asked if you want to Change or Keep Tailored Trends.

c) In the text box, start typing United States and choose United States (All cities). This will set your trends to the entire United States.

d) Press Done to confirm your change.

e) Your trends section should now say United States Trends.

After You Watch (or If You Watch Later)

DVR, PVR or VOD Are you watching Defiance after it airs live? Great! NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment announced back in January they are shifting to a L+3 (live plus three days) when looking at ratings on their cable networks. Defiance viewership increased by 70% when taking L+3 into account. (x) Now, it’s even easier to get your viewing counted.

When you watch on your DVR or VOD, make sure that you’re watching the commercials too! For VOD watches, Fast Forwarding may be disabled, in which case you’ll be watching those advertisements regardless.
