They said in this last episode that the "birthing right" would commence in two weeks. So I figure however many get preggers, that will be the number of others who will be spaced. Or after seeing how many babies stay alive for a certain amount of time.

I see Stokes did not get euthanized. He's one angry dude! I wonder why just because the XO got the job Stokes wanted, why he was unable to "claim" Dwight as his child?

I don't think Ike had anything to do with anything.

Gil Bellows' character is a fruit loop! That seahorse necklace he gave his wife and telling her to keep it on while they had sex, ugh! We know who he's fantasizing about. He used to be so cute when he was on Ally McBeal!!

What are they trying to do to Christa? Calm down her physical abilities? Erase her memories? Sounds like she was "engineered" like the guy back in '83 was it?

I started watching because it was only a 3 day event but now I want more!

Great twist, I was highly amused. I'll be watching the rest with my own twist of cynicism...

The big plot twist really upped the stakes and made things more interesting, as far as I'm concerned, not to mention more dramatic.

I do hope that Dr. Bryce gets her seahorse necklace back eventually. Enzmann is seriously morally compromised, in my opinion.

Watching a rerun of the first night, Christa's mother is actually mentioned in the present tense (and appears, though not with her). So it's just the father that's missing from the picture; and I don't think that she could have had the same father as Lorelei, since Lorelai's father died when she was a baby and Lorelei was older than Christa.

That finale blew my mind. Went in a direction I didn't really expect.


From the first episode, this show has had a lot of twists. I hope they keep it going.

I enjoy science fiction, but not this show. It is so unrealistic in so many different areas, especially considering the time period they would have supposedly launched.
They also throw in the typical liberal themes which are annoying, and I am sure a homosexual is not far off if the show returns.

As is the case with far too many shows produced by cable networks, way too many gaps are unexplained, such as the show Helix. To me it all seemed to start when Lost was a hit, and they threw everything and the kitchen sink into stories, but later never tied them into anything, nor were they ever explained.
I was actually hoping the show would end after a while, which is not a good sign for a series.

Although I did enjoy the "twist" for what it was (that was a surprise), IMO Ascension is neither good science nor good fiction (to paraphrase Sheldon). So many plot holes and inconsistencies, scientific and otherwise, made it difficult to take seriously on any level.

This show had an amazingly original and potentially fascinating premise (for US television) that was almost immediately knocked off track by the discovery of a murdered half-naked young woman to open the series. Another "here we go again" moment...Lost in Space meets CSI...camp meets cop.

I do wonder if it was intentionally tongue-in-cheek camp - or not.

It would be a crime of conscience to leave them stranded in 'some unknown' space, not to mention the loss of scientific reseach.

A discovery of principles of teleportation. So where did he land... on a foreign body, a desert island, or a lower deck?

And 'Don't mess with Crista'
