The angel battle begins in new teaser trailer for Syfy's Dominion series

BROADCASTING---“Dominion,” beginning Thursday night on Syfy, is a television series spun off from a movie. But we’re not talking about something like “The Avengers” or even, say, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” The source in this case is the little-noticed 2010 film “Legion,” in which a motley crew of humans, holed up in a desert diner, fight off a crew of malevolent angels with the help of the archangel Michael, who takes our side for one reason or another. Maybe pity? Hey, it’s been a while. The TV show picks up the movie’s story 25 years later, when the angel-human wars have left the planet with a lot fewer humans. [link]
