    I went with "good". I liked the cinematography, the plot twist/concept, and the familiarity to other science fictions works (like River from Firefly or something a little like Michael Bay's The Island or The Manhattan Project). Anyways not a bad start. Just would like to a feel a little more for the characters...On with part two tomorrow!

    It's also a bit like the Truman Show in space.

    It was good enough to watch the rest of the series. I can't wait to see the guys reaction( that got sucked out of the air vent ) if he doesn't get pissed off for essentially feeling like a lab rat i'll be pissed!

    I'll prob watch the first hour and catch the end later, because I don't want to miss POI either--especially because it's the beginning of a 3 arc episode, which makes me wonder if it will sadly parallel Carter's from last season??!

    It was OK. I thought the writing was a little weak in parts, which made the acting seem really unnatural. The lack of scientific accuracy had my husband about ready to pull the plug--the twist helped explain that so he's back on board. Plus it was too much Soap Opera, not enough Sci-Fi.
    Overall, if not for the twist I don't know if we would be sticking around for the rest. Don't know if I'll hope for a second season or not, we'll have to see how the rest plays out.

    I often go to that kind of twist when watching a lot of sci-fi, but this was the one time I didn't. But I'm also not one to hate all predictability. I care more about the story and the way this twist will effect everyone and/or if they will attempt to put even more twists in it.

    "which made the acting seem really unnatural."


    I was kind wondering if that was the point though, because I thought the acting "on earth" was more natural in comparison, which made me wonder if characters on Ascension were intentionally "brought up" that way--to make them feel[to themselves and the viewers] empty, hollow, like robots just waking up????

    I have to side with those comments that the production design and photography are wonderful, but the "twist" was way to easy. I guessed it about 30 minutes into the pilot episode. I'm kinda liking what they're doing with the characters--with the have/have nots all on the same ship--and of course the bold sexuality (for broadcast cable) will keep fanboys watching.


    The weakness, is in the central concept of people on a space ship, and are they really in space or not. It's being used in a couple of upcoming movies, most notably "400 Days" with Arrow cast members Brandon Routh and Caity Lotz. It seems like in Hollywood somebody gets an "idea" and mentions it at a pitch, and soon every pitch has that same idea. So much for originality and creativity.


    Still, since Ascension is just three episodes, I'll watch--especially since it has Tricia Heifer!
