Defying Vancouver

Tonight I watched the first 4 episodes of 'Defying Gravity'. It's an ABC show, and you can catch it on Hulu. It's pretty good. I like Ron Livingston ('Office Space' guy), and I like outer space, so it's not a stretch that I'd like the show. No nudity, sadly. Network. You know.

Anyhoo, you don't have to watch much of the show before you can tell it was shot in Vancouver. Maybe it helps that I've been watching a lot of Vancouver-based shows: 'Battlestar Galactica,' 'Reaper', and 'Dead Like Me'. I've seen one BSG alumnus, 2 from 'Reaper', and 2 'Dead Like Me' types.

There was a scene where two characters walked into their respective apartments, and I had two back-to-back thoughts: first, "Hey, that's Starbuck's apartment"; and second, "Hey, that's Starbuck's apartment again, slightly re-dressed." You'd think they would have picked an apartment that's a little less obvious or well known. Maybe they like it because it's quasi-futuristic. Who knows.

At any rate, that's one more show I can add to my entertainment tour of Vancouver. When I go to Vancouver. Whenever that happens to be.
