![]() To me, it’s a crutch, and one that is grossly overused. In my opinion, science fiction as a genre shouldn’t need to use all of this sex. It was almost like Game of Thrones (with an average of around six breasts per episode, according to Youtube’s Game Theory), just with only implied nudity.Īs I said before, there’s not much that I can do about Ascension’s tagline of “women can’t seem to keep their clothes on”, expecting my complaints. Strangely enough, there’s no relation that’s known as “cheating on with” in Syfy’s relationship tree. It almost felt like some teenage boy’s wet dream rather than an actual TV show that wanted to be taken seriously. I mean, there’s not much I can really do about it, short of complaining on my little blog, but the whole thing was unnecessary. What really annoyed me was in fact, the sex. I also wouldn’t complain about Gault’s new home, or Stokes’ run for freedom. If there’s going to be more episodes, then I won’t complain about the kid doing her best River Tam impression and creating lightning storms. Really though, this is a pretty hard review, as I don’t know whether I’m going to see more of the show. I liked the idea of a murder mystery in space, but all in all, it was pretty standard fare. Other than the gratuitous sex, the storyline was pretty cool. ( Who’s Sleeping With Who?) I can only assume that that was important. Syfy actually made an official tree tying it all together, which I think is hilarious. In that case, I mean that it was more of a “will they, won’t they” kind of thing, rather than an affair. Two other teens were in love, but that was kind of refreshing. Another officer was having an affair with a woman who was already in a relationship, and had just been selected for the birth list. The captain was cheating on his wife, and his wife was cheating on him, not to mention running an organization of stewardesses/prostitutes. Unfortunately, they all seemed to bring something sexual to the table. The real meat of the show was all of the characters, and they all had something to hide. All of the sci-fi undertones were great, it’s just that they were just that: undertones. Now, loyalties are being questioned, people are beginning to drop like flies, and there is still a killer on the loose. 51 years into the 100 year journey, one of the passengers turns up dead.

The title in quotes is completely reasonable, but I’ll get to that later. Of course, that’s just the parenthesized title. But really, there was almost a “cliffhanger-esque” feel to the end, making me unsure that this is that last I’ve seen of Ascension. Right now, I can find no word of a second season, and it’s called a miniseries, so I assume it’ll stop here. I’m not really sure what to call this review, as the show, Ascension ended pretty openly.
