Dominion

Dominion is a show that I was looking forward to. It's all about angels and I'm a sucker for angels. Way before Supernatural and Castiel. My mom put this image in my mind about angels and how they should act - not the way Castiel acts, no offense to Castiel or the writers on Supernatural. I went in knowing what I wanted angel to be. 

Just one thing: I found out that it was rated TV Mature. I wasn't too thrilled about that because my mom wanted to watch it with me. That's the was the main issue I had. Not because I was starting to watch mature shows - I just didn't know how mature it would be. 

I downloaded the first episode for free on iTunes like either the day before it was released or the day after. I don't remember. But all I remembered was my SyFy channel had it as TV 14 when I looked everywhere else, it was TV MA. So, I was confused. I got even more confused when I binged watched the first three episodes in one sitting - two TV MAs, and one TV 14. 

I'd say this is a mild mature show at the moment. All I've seen so far is some asses, cuddling naked after sex, and orgy going on (with full on moans, but you really don't see anything), and the aftermath on one in the first episode. I haven't seen any boobs or penises. I haven't heard the word FUCK yet either. Maybe I missed it but so far, I've only heard SHIT and BULLSHIT - which are in a lot of 10PM shows now (ex. Perception, Graceland). 

The point of this whole post is: I FUCKING LOVED IT! And I've never seen Legion, which what it is based on. And by the people who have seen it on SpoilerTV and IMDb forums, I might be doing myself a favor. 

So, it takes place in Las Vegas, 25 years after Legion (keep that in mind). Las Vegas is now called Vega. According to Wikipedia, "An army of lower angels, assembled by the archangel Gabriel, has waged a war of possession against mankind. The archangel Michael, turning against his own kind, has chosen to side with humanity against Gabriel. After the 25-year-long battle, newly fortified cities have arisen to protect human survivors." 

I was texting my best friend yesterday as I watching Dominion and I had to keep in mind that Dominion is different from Supernatural. Now in Supernatural, we've supposed to hate Michael and love Gabriel. In Dominion, you're supposed to love Michael (which I do), and hate Gabriel (I haven't exactly decided if I hate him or not). 

If you have seen Legion, than you know that Charlie at the end, had a son - well, his name is Alex Lannen. SPOILER ALERT: He's the 'Chosen One'. You find that out in episode one, and it is pretty obvious he's the one who's supposed to bring life back. He's the savior of humanity. That's a big step from becoming a lowest of low class to becoming a savior. 

The reason I was going to watch it in the first place is because of Anthony Head, AKA Gilles from Buffy and Shilo's father in Repo! The Genetic Opera, plus a bunch more things that aren't coming to my mind. I didn't know anyone else in the show besides Alan Dale. He's also been in a bunch of things. 

I went in not thinking I'd like it, and came out binge watching the first three episodes. I blame Tumblr for making me curious of this show. I was seeing GIF sets of Dominion and I was like, 'fuck, get I'm watching it now.' And I'm glad I did. 

Now, everyone's favorite games: Who does Molly ship? and Who is Molly's favorite character(s)? 

Well, at the moment, I don't really ship anyone. That could change. 

As for favorite characters - Michael, Alex, Bixby, and looks like that's it at the moment. 

See you soon,
