Started off strong, but I'm losing interest. The characters are interesting, but the stories are NOT.
They've renewed for a second season already, so no chopping block as yet.
Be careful. SyFy has the tendency to lie. They promised Farscape a Season 5, and they cancelled the show while they were filming the last scenes of Season 4, and blame the viewers for it.
The heads of SyFy may have changed sing Farscape but their antics haven't. So far since Farscape nearly every scripted show on SyFy has ended prematurely and often with the promise of another season. Lets take a look, SG-1 was promised one last season but ended without one and ended on a cliffhanger, Atlantis I'm not sure about but it seemed like they thought they had one more season but wrapped up at the last minute when they found out otherwise, BSG ended on their own before SyFy could could do it, SG:U wasn't promised a S3 but wasn't notified of their imminent demise until the last minute and thus ended on a cliff hanger, Eureka (one of their most recent victims) was promised one last season then a short 6 episode season to wrap things up but that was nixed in the bud and they had to quickly rewrite the last season in order to wrap things up. Sure doesn't seem like SyFy has changed all that much to me and game or no game I won't be at all surprised if SyFy pulls their usual on Defiance and tell them things are golden and promise them one more/last season and then at the last minute tell them they're being canceled.
I thought this show would have a great story on it own, but it sounds like its just a supplement for playing the video game.

Actually, they've explain that the game and the show take place within the same universe, and don't really interfere with one another (except for characters and some situations crossing over).
... the game is fantastic. The Episode Mission: The Irathient Vagabound went live last night where at the end of the TV episode one of the characters leaves the show and steps right into the game. The is mission was also not as I had feared just the characters model and voice in the game, but actually came with full video cut scenes that show a different side of the character.
Just like if you were to have played the game before the release of the show where you have an episode mission with Nolan and Irisa and once they drived off into the storm divide they popped up just the same way in the show on the other side of the divide. I think that most of the people that watch the show and think that it lacks luster in the story department has never picked up the game. Also you get a deeper understanding of the world they are in, and what is to come to Defiance the city. Also depending on you level and progress in the story and obtaining of data recorders you get some inside information on what truly is going to happen in the show and just what that pretty little golden trinket really is and who really knows about it.
