quindog Now I know where actors and actresses who didn't make the grade for daytime soaps went. On a spaceship. A great pretense but between bad acting and the laughable writing, well... I couldn't get through the first episode.

Marc Winter Ascension starts off with a thrilling story and some really wicked twists, keeping you at the edge of your seat.Unfortunately this only lasts during the first half of the season. Then it gets more and more strange raising to a braindead finale with absolutely no appeal. Nice structures from the beginning are getting trashed without any reason and at the end you are left thinking: "Ok... This must have been the first half of the final episode. They can't be serious - this is just dumb, not even a bad cliffhanger. Simply nothing."Sorry, but this is wasted time (and potential).

steadmansmith It seems like there were two or three concepts cobbled together when they made this, with only three episodes it keeps taking twists, turns, and occasional cliche. With a final ending that will leave you with more questions than answers.

themejunky Sorry, SciFi, but I really had serious problems believing a story about 600 of the supposedly world's brightest people getting trapped inside of a fake space station (spoiler alert!) and not being able to figure that out after 50 years. Sure, I guess that most of the main characters were too busy going to the beach and trying to screw each other to notice, but you would think that someone in Engineering would have noticed that they weren't actually moving at some point.I was also confused why a spaceship launched in the early 1960's had laptop computers that look they came from the 1980's, but that was easier to swallow than the original premise of the show.I'm kind of glad that they didn't do a second season of this show. I can't imagine how it would be better than the first.
