Those kind of characters, whether they are reoccurring, regular cast or just a guest star are what fans remember most.

I like how Pol just makes himself at home and thinks because he is a Castithan that Datak will help him. It is a nice change to see Datak actually do something opposite of what you might expect. Datak\u2019s speech about believing in his people\u2019s right for their own country and the home he has made here is wonderfully patriotic to a fault.

Deep down that is really what is missing from Eddie\u2019s life, that longing for family, to belong to something greater than yourself, to take care of someone and be taken care of in return.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\nThis is also the scene that makes me love Nolan even more, and it gives Bowler a chance to shine. When he tells Eddie that he can take him, but he has to promise to tell them that Irisa is dead \u201cthat is the only thing that matters\u201d he says, as long as she is safe. That is the mark of a true man and father, of someone that has truly changed from the soldier to the caretaker, father, law-keeper and somewhat moral compass of the show. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I applaud the writers for giving Nolan a flawed but fixable character. He may be on the side of good right now and trying to repent for his sins, but that does not negate the instincts he has and may have to use again. The great thing about Nolan being the law-keeper as I stated in an earlier a paragraph was that he now has a taste of both sides. Even though he is on the right path now, he may need to be his old self to get the job done, it is never easy being that moral center, conflicts abound every day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/Defiance\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-355\" title=\"Defiance S1x06-Take Care of Irisa\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/19.jpg\" alt=\"Defiance S1x06-Take Care of Irisa\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/19.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/19-256x139.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/19-320x174.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/19-400x217.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI love the toward the ending whe<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/Defiance\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-356 alignleft\" title=\"Defiance S1x06-Trading Places\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20-320x174.jpg\" alt=\"Defiance S1x06-Trading Places\" width=\"400\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20-320x174.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20-256x139.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20-400x217.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.net\/defiance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/20.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">n Connor Lang (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Gale Harold\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0363736\/?ref_=sr_1\" target=\"_blank\">Gale Harold<\/a>) confronts Nolan about what happened to Madis and that he is in huge trouble, when Eddie steps up and takes the blame. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Maybe Nolan\u2019s morality is starting to rub off a bit, maybe the thought of leaving Irisa orphaned got to him or maybe, just maybe he is becoming a decent man?
