Defying-Gravity---Paula-G-001

Well, Defying Gravity will be airing its 13th and final episode this week on Canada's 'Space' channel, five episodes after it was unceremoniously pulled from the ABC schedule.  Sadly, there is still a demand for those final five episodes here - and the demand is being answered with silence.  If ABC plans on finishing off the series for US fans, they apparently don't intend on telling anybody about it.  With that in mind, we thought it might be some comfort for US fans to have the teasers for the episodes they have missed.  Small comfort, I know.

Defying Gravity resumed airing in Canada first on CTV, then on Space.  The final episode, "Kiss", airs this Friday.

Defying Gravity (Ep. 109) "Eve Ate The Apple"

As the Antares draws closer to Venus the mysterious secret in Pod 4 is finally exposed, revealing the incredible true nature of the space mission.

Defying Gravity (Ep. 110) "Deja Vu"

It's Election Day back on Earth but the Antares crew is still coming to terms with the awe-inspiring events that have just transformed the focus of the mission.

Defying Gravity (Ep. 111) "Solitary"

In the final hours before the landing on Venus, crewmembers of the Antares confront the loneliness and isolation of space.

Defying Gravity (112): "Venus"

It's the day of the Venus landing, a historic and dangerous event likely to alter the lives of everyone involved.

Defying Gravity (113): "Kiss"

After landing on the burning surface of Venus, Zoe walks toward a sound only she can hear, drawn by her destiny into almost certain destruction.

    I thank my lucky stars every Friday night that I can still watch "Defying Gravity" on Space. Last week's was amazing. Zoe was prepping for her Venus landing and walk, and the flashbacks revolved around her flunking out of the space program. It ended with her going to collect the next artifact (under the thrall of her baby-crying hallucination), knowing that she could only survive a one-way trip. Hopefully this week we'll see how she got readmitted to the program and find out how she gets back to the ship in one piece for the next leg of the mission.

    Please, somebody, pick this show up! ABC, you were fools!

    Can't wait to see the episode- but MAN, there is still so much they could do with this series…I am just anxious to see if Zoe lives, or if Donner goes out to save her and they both parish,or if they both live, and if they get the gamma, and why all the objects are needed to begin with…..

    This is such sad news. It's been an interesting show to watch, though it didn't get enough publicity. I really hope another network picks it up and does a better job advertising it!

    This is by far one of the most interesting and intelligent shows on tv at the moment. ABC is foolish for dropping it, and I sincerely hope that another network picks it up. There is so much potential for Defying Gravity! I really hope that this show is rescued and takes off, showing ABC how short-sighted they are. Enough with all of this reality tv crap already. Let's keep the good shows on!

    I am hooked on Defying Gravity. Too bad ABC doesn't see it's potential. It was not advertised at all where I live and they wonder why it wasn't a success. I don't think ABC ever intended more use for it than a filler over the summer.

    Wow !! you have no patience !!! My guess is you've never read a novel, because you couldn't get the whole plot on the first page. The undercurrent of Defying Gravity is immense, powerful, and life changing. This is the MOST realistically portrayed exploration series that has ever been shown. At least, watch the next few episodes before you pass your judgement !!

    Defying Gravity is superior programming in every way and the review on this site is bottom of the birdcage material. There is a facebook site to organize around trying to save the show. become a fan and add your voice to the effort.

    I'm really sad to see this show go. I just watched the last episode and I couldn't help but what to keep seeing more. ABC is ridiculous for letting it go!

    I tried watching Flash Forward, one of the shows in which ABC actually put effort in terms of promotion and they are SO boring – the acting is horrible as well.

    Defying Gravity had superb acting and a though provoking plot line. It was a different kind of sci-fi and it will be missed. Ron Livingston and Laura Harris are amazing together!!!

    I love this show!! If only it had better advertising and promotion. I really loe both Ron Livingston and Laura Harris; the whole cast had really interesting back stories from what we've seen. It's frustrating that it only got one season, and only part of that season was shown on ABC. Poop on them! How many crappy shows have they allowed to florish?! It's frustrating.

    Bring this show back! On a different network preferably, because ABC doesn't care about smart shows.

    I watched the 13th episode last night and was just blown away. The series started out a bit slow but with each episode, especially the last four, it got better and better. The 13th episode just blew me away and left me wanting more. Dang ABC for canceling! Someone needs to get their head out of their butt and pick the show back up.
