Ascension

Just finished watching the first episode of Ascension. Wow! George Dyson, call your office!

I was wondering how they maintained a 1G acceleration -- all revealed in the last two minutes.

It was a steaming pile of rubbish. The Shocking Twist revealed at the end was telegraphed weeks ago (the very issue with gravity) and results in the cast changing from Space Heroes into Pitiful Saps.

Meh.

So, assuming the twist is what I think it is, then Ascension is an updated version of JG Ballard's "Thirteen to Centaurus"?

... and Chosen Survivors, with a dash of Non-Stop to spice things up.

Good stuff.

Hell, I'll watch anything that has #6 dropping her skivvies, who am I kidding!

After reading the Critics and Review
here my comment:

so SYFY if you make Deep Space Flight TV series
then make it it so and not in stile of certain J.G. Ballard short story...

Thirteen To Centaurus. Good catch! Hell, Harry Martison should grab a piece of this pie too.

Success has many authors.

Now, let's see what you do with Clarke's, Childhoods End.
