"… U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, a mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship's population to question the true nature of their mission" From hollywood spy. link YouTube link Amicalement Armand |

"In a fictionalized past version of 1963, the US government launched a secret starship called Ascension meant to take a 100-year journey out into the ‘verse and establish a human colony on a new planet. The rub comes 50 years into the quest when a young woman is mysteriously murdered on board and the hundreds and hundreds of residents are left to question what they were really sent into the cosmos for. Sounds fun enough. We love us some space, after all, but the real news here is who's in the cast. Two words: Tricia. Helfer. Yup! Six is back on board a human colony vessel headed into the great wide unknown, and her character, Viondra Denniger, is described as "a beautiful, manipulative and dangerous power broker on the Ascension." Are you kidding?! Is this just fanfic meant to give Battlestar Galactica fans a six-part fix of their favorite beautiful, manipulative, and dangerous Cylon? We don't know whose idea this was, Syfy, but they deserve all the raises." YouTube link Amicalement Armand |

The trailer looks intriguing enough to give it a shot at least. |

And the surprise at end of the first night wasn't much. |

Anybody notice them using the names of science fiction writers who have written stories about generation ships! |

I called the primary plot conceit early in episode 1; the end left me a little underwhelmed though it's WIDE open for possible future sequels. I *think* I'd be up to watch another series but it could have been a lot better. Overall I enjoyed it. |
