its a 6 part miniseries(for now) thats airing over 3 days

2 episodes per night Monday-Wednesday on SyFy

Im about to watch Mondays episodes now.I'll drop my thoughts on it when im done

 

[rantanamo]

my bad. I thought it was known since it was mentioned in a thread a while ago

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3696720/

A young woman's murder causes the subjects of a century-long mission to populate a new world to question the true nature of the project as they approach the point of no return.

It comes on SyFy each evening as a 3 part mini-series. The conclusion is tomorrow night, but they will show the entire series starting tomorrow at 4:30c/5:30e

Its starring Tricia Helfer(Six from BSG) the Canadian Gawdess

I don't want to spoil, but i don't like that so much is revealed so early and that reveal is taking up so much of the plot. The politics are an interesting juxtaposition though. I think it being a bit cabled up with more sex than usual SyFy shows is nice and drives home some points in the story. I thought it was funny when the guy said, "My father told me there was no underclass back on Earth" and the black dude kinda gave him the , but it came it as "THAT'S NOT TRUE" as they were struggling for air.

i dont know but its on SyFy so im pretty sure its getting bad reviews

It's only a three part mini series, so I was expecting the twist early.

Spoiler: spoilerish

I'm wondering how the people inside take it when they find out about the experiment.

 

[rantanamo]

Its not the recent SyFy. This is their attempt to get back to the quality of the BSG days. Its ok. Not spectacular. On the ship, I think it is top notch. They've done everything they can to make it feel 60's ish, but with people a generation removed. But I feel like the twist is too early because i thought they were trying to sell this as a possible series. If we know the twist, do they have to keep them both up forever to do a show? Is this whole damn thing going to be about this little girl? Was more fun when it was about what it was about.


Anyone else who has seen Interstellar kinda feel like this is why Option A was deemed impossible?

IGN podcast conversation:

Eric and Roth talk about the Ascension series premiere.

The Cylon chick from BSG loves getting naked and being a freak. I havent finished watching the first episode but I think I see whats happening.

But I feel like the twist is too early because i thought they were trying to sell this as a possible series.

they are

theyre doing the same thing tnt did with Falling Skies,Last Ship,Mob City,etc

its a miniseries but if it gets good reviews and/or ratings they'll renew it for a 2nd season

if not then the miniseries is all we'll get

 

[STAN JONES]

i didnt like the twist at all

Spoiler

if they arent in space then what exactly makes this a scifi show?

hopefully the 1080p rip for last nights show is uploaded soon cause im interested in seeing where they go with show after the twist

i am glad they told us in the 1st episode rather than doing it as a cliffhanger in the season finale but its a huge letdown for me now knowing that the show takes place on earth instead of in space

i was hoping we would see some aliens or a new planet
