Ascension part 2 spoilers turns out the whole thing is a breeding program set up by an ex-Nazi to try and create psychics. Which it totally did.

Is this a loving joke or what.

After watching the first two episodes of Ascension, I can confirm that it is the most unintentionally hilarious miniseries that has aired in recent times.

I can't wait to see what brilliance the final episode is probably chock full of.

Also, if you insist on responding to him, at least stop quoting him.

I can't believe people's understanding of Irish Joe has gone so far from serious to ironic that it's looped right back to serious.

And I thought the magic was lost :allears:

I don't particularly care if he's a deliberate troll or an idiot with lovely opinions, but 90% of the time his posts are annoying as gently caress so I'm not gonna read 'em.

Hey Ma, who's that band I like? Oh yeah, Hall & Oates.
We watched the Ascension first episode and it was not good. The most glaring issue is where are all of the old people? The original crew? Why is everyone under 40? It's jarring.

Not going to watch the rest of it.

Just because your parents didn't give you rules and boundaries, doesn't mean the rest of us didn't abide by certain rules. I am no mongrel, willfully submitting to my more sensual desires. That's how my mother raised me and how her mother raised her, guess yours didn't do the job well.

Being a Burn Victim Unitarily decided my fate as unappealing, I accept that. However, I maintain that my abstinence, until the age of 18, is nothing short of noble, as others could have chosen to make use of a sex worker.

Rocksicles posted:

A. Choosing to abide by the law is not wrong. My mother did not raise an uncultured idiot like yourself.

B. On the contrary, romance novels tend to promote underage sex, as if Aatrek had written them solely by himself. I, on the other hand, believe that sex is an intimate process and should not be discarded to the closest whore or philanderer.

C. This has nothing to do with television, please remain on topic.

Your assumption that Ravane is male is incorrect.

Ravane's gender depends on the topic.

Also age, profession, and education.

uhhh actually the general demeanor of a woman is greatly improved if she remains virginal until after her maturity has been fully reached, as the explosion of endorphins that would occur if underage sexual activity were performed would hinder many of the more important developments of a young female brain

How the gently caress did that even make it past the basic script stage in 2014? Or maybe the better question is how far Sci-Fi has fallen as a network.

Ascension would be a better show if the twist was the US government secretly had faster then light travel and had already colonized the planet they are heading too. Making the whole mission useless and the earth project about trying to contact the ship for it to slow down so they could be picked up by one of the new ships.

It's like ABC Family and The 700 Club.

It's a show (that it turns out isn't) about a spaceship. SyFy is required to do at least one of those a year.

but ABC Family can produce good/ok tv, SyFy can't.

I'm also always surprised that Disney is still willing to air the 700 club.

They don't have a choice, it's a stipulation of owning the Family Channel and they somehow didn't realize that until after they bought the station.

They're also contractually obliged to keep the world "family" in the channel's name. I understand they planned to change it after they bought it, only to find out it wasn't an option.
