Never really got into Defiance myself, although I could see it was well made, it just didn't grab me.
However, there is a increasing unwillingness amongst the networks to give new shows a chance. If they don't become a hit in the first couple of seasons, they are axed.. If that thinking had been applied to (say) Star Trek: The Next Generation, we'd have missed out on what I consider to be some of the best stories written for TV (OK ST:TNG wasn't consistently greate, but it was good and did produce some arguably classic stories.
The US also seems to be going for short seasons. I suspect this is budget related as the budget for a good sci fi show can easily reach into the millions per episode even with the advantage of CGI..
