After watching Night Two, I'm willing to say what I couldn't quite say after Night One: Ascension should've been promoted with the "nothing is real" meta-concept front and center, because the only thing they accomplished by hiding it was to piss people off.
It is what it is, though, and I do want to see the ending, so I'll be watching tonight as well. __________________

Interestingly, I think we're all reached agreement, in a general way.

I think it's safe to say they're expecting something else to come out of this? That totally didn't feel like a finale. All the loose ends possible.

Yes Lari, I think it's safe to say that.
What a lousy way to end it. __________________

Holy Crap! I'm forced to take back all of my complaints about the whole "nothing is real" meta-concept. Tonight's broadcast - particularly the ending - completely justified that particular avenue of storytelling and turned the show itself from something I was disappointed in and dissatisfied with into something I'd definitely watch on a regular basis.

Yes, it was explained, as I more or less expected it to be .. but I nevertheless don't like the way it ended.

Okay just finished part 1... Interesting. For half the episode I was wondering if this was just a murder mystery in space... We have political intrigue and a "psychic" child... Now on to part 2...
ETA: Part 2... Too much going on... __________________

Jess, the story was all over the place, like it couldn't make up its mind what it wanted to be.
BUT it comes full circle in the end. Don't give up! __________________

Yeah.
At the end of part 3, I was like I would watch the show if it went into production. Each part was so different in tone... Mad that they killed Wendy Crewson though. __________________

I kinda resent the way it jerked us around, but the story could be interesting from here. If they stop playing games.

Yup. I felt the murder mystery kinda detracted from everything else.

I already said this, but they really ought to have led with the meta-conceptual story elements instead of trying to hide them for the sake of twisting things up.
If we get more, I really hope Viandra and her husband continue to freeze out Rose and she gets more chances to lead, not only because I love Tricia Helfer, but also because they make a really effective team and she's a natural leader. I also hope we hear more about the history of things both 'in the dome' and with Enzmann. __________________
