#Christa ascension tv show full
Although there's a good chance that Syfy will pick Ascension up for a full television series, there are way too many characters here for a mini-series. The problem with the first two episodes is the large cast of characters. Juliet Bryce (Andrea Roth), who is struggling to understand a teenaged daughter. Bell), an African-American who managed to work his way up from the lower decks (yes, the class system is alive and well here) the delightfully evil politician Councilman Rose (Al Sapienza) and Dr. We also meet Officer Aaron Gault (Brandon P. But we really don't get to know her and her purpose until later. The first episode also shows us a little girl, Christa (Ellie O'Brien), who is either crazy or sees the future, or maybe both. But for those who kept watching, there was eventually a big pay-off. That insane reveal felt like a letdown for those wanting a science fiction show set in space. When the presumed murderer gets tossed out of the ship's airlock, he lands on a mattress, on Earth, and guess what? The entire thing is an elaborate hoax! The ship never left Earth and seems as if it's just some weird sociological experiment that's fooled the people inside the fake ship for 50 years. This episode is about solving that murder, but more about a major reveal. In the first episode, the ship encounters its first murder. In fact, we see that although Viondra is wife to Captain William Denniger (Brian Van Holt), she's the one doing the dirty work and politicking to keep him in his position. She, along with other women on the ship, use sex to manipulate everything, even politics.
"Sex is currency," says Viondra, and although it seems a cheesy statement, it's all too true. Although, we see a hint in Viondra (Tricia Helfer) that women manage to find other ways of controlling the men who control them. Women are still treated as second-class citizens on the ship.
These people are essentially stuck in a 1960s frame of mind, as is the ship, as seen in its design. There was no women's liberation movement, no disco and no 9/11. The second generation on the spaceship, which has been in space for 50 years, is now grown up and dealing with life in space, having never seen Earth, or experienced anything that Earth experienced after the spaceship launched.
