The lucky part with this panel is that since it was their first one, it was in a smaller room (6A) than the other panels which are usually in Ballroom 20 or Hall H. Because of the smaller room I was able to get up close and take some really fantastic pictures.<\/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 title=\"Defiance SDCC 2013-Mo Ryan &amp; Kevin Murphy\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noz4a2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9107\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Defiance-SDCC-2013-Mo-Ryan-Kevin-Murphy-400x217.png\" alt=\"Defiance SDCC 2013-Mo Ryan &amp; Kevin Murphy\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a>Now\u2026away we go! Our fabulous moderator for the day was the famously funny and wonderful <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Maureen Ryan\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/moryan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maureen Ryan<\/a> from <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Huffington Post\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Huffington Post<\/a>. She did a great job and seemed to be as happy as all of us fans to be there.

I love that celebrities do that, it means to me that they really do care and love their fans. <\/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';\">It was also fun to see that the cast had a genuine vibe of happiness to be there. The men looked dashing and the women looked gorgeous (no surprise there). One cast member I really wanted to see, but unfortunately was not there was <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Graham Greene\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001295\/?ref_=sr_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Graham Greene<\/a>.

His answer was great, he said \u201cwe are going to take the chess board and flip it over so that every single character has a reset\u201d. Sounds like this coming season will be filled with many surprises and then some.<\/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';\">Kevin basically gave us the jist of what may be happening in the new season. He mentioned that <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Amanda Rosewater\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/character\/ch0300281\/?ref_=tt_cl_t1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amanda Rosewater <\/a>(<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Julie Benz\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0004748\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Julie Benz<\/a>) is in a new line of work, we find out what happened to <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Irisa\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/character\/ch0300283\/?ref_=tt_cl_t1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Irisa<\/a> (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Stephanie Leonidas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0503060\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephanie Leonidas<\/a>). He also mentions the Tarr family and what will happen with <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Datak Tarr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/character\/ch0300280\/?ref_=tt_cl_t1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Datak<\/a> (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Tony Curran\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0192889\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony Curran<\/a>) and <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Stahma Tarr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/character\/ch0300284\/?ref_=fn_al_ch_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stahma<\/a> (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Jaime Murray\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1444665\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jaime Murray<\/a>) now that <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Kenya Rosewater\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/character\/ch0379781\/?ref_=tt_cl_t1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kenya<\/a> (<a title=\"Click here to learn more about Mia Kirshner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000477\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mia Kirshner<\/a>) is out of the picture.

She had made a great point about how <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Castithans\" href=\"http:\/\/en.defiance-wiki.com\/wiki\/Castithan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castithan<\/a> men keep their women in metaphoric cages and how she was trying to control things from that cage. <\/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';\">Once she tasted the outside world, she would not ever want to go back. Kevin Murphy then brought up a great point to counter her statement. He had said that is is equal to an immigrant woman who comes to a new land where the old world rules don\u2019t apply anymore. I thought that was brilliant and right on point.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Defiance SDCC 2013-Jaime Murray\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noz4a2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9105\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Defiance-SDCC-2013-Jaime-Murray.png\" alt=\"Defiance SDCC 2013-Jaime Murray\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Of course the question on every fans mind was to Jaime, did <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Stahma Tarr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/character\/ch0300284\/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stahma<\/a> really love Kenya? Her answer was funny, \u201cjust because you kill someone doesn\u2019t mean that you didn\u2019t love them and if you think that is the case then you truly have never been in love.\u201d Brilliantly done Jaime, brava! Kevin Murphy capped her remark with \u201cit was the lesbian <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Sid &amp; Nancy\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sid_%26_Nancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sid &amp; <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/defiance_sf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9076\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Defiance-SDCC-2013-Tony-Curran-Jaime-Murray-400x217.png\" alt=\"Defiance SDCC-2013-Tony Curran &amp; Jaime Murray\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" \/><\/a>Nancy\u201d which made me and the rest of the audience who understood the reference laugh heartily.<\/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';\">That statement along with many others from the cast were one of the many reasons I had such a blast at this panel. The loving jabs and snarky remarks that the cast made to one another was fun for all. It shows that they are a great team of players and that they may tease each other but the love in no doubt there.<\/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 title=\"Click here to learn more about Jesse Rath\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm2042776\/?ref_=sr_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesse Rath<\/a> was a great sport when asked about how his family dynamic will change in Season 2. \u201cFather issues and lots of mother issues, too,\u201d was his answer. That is an understatement, he makes <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Medea\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Medea_%28play%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Medea<\/a> and <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Oedipus\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oedipus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oedipus<\/a> look like angels compared to his situation. I guess weird runs in the Tarr family, just look at the mess they got themselves into during Season 1.

Grant\u2019s <a title=\"Click here to learn more about New Zealand\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Zealand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Zealand<\/a> accent made his answers that much more fun, especially when he and <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Tony Curran\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0192889\/?ref_=rvi_nm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony Curran<\/a> started mocking each other\u2019s accents.

He credited Stahma with \u201cfinely tuning this blunt instrument\u201d and went on to say that at that point it was like \u201cDatak in the library with the letter opener\u201d, referencing that great board game and movie <a title=\"Click here to learn more about Clue\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cluedo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLUE<\/a>.

I myself don\u2019t follow or play the game, but I am sure that the fans that do will be in for a new and exciting adventure once Season 2 starts. The game will also be filling in some gaps during the wait for the season to start, so that may help appease some people\u2019s anxiety about waiting for the new season.
