Page 1 of Ascension (Si-fi spaceship flight)

http://www.syfy.com/ascension

Started tonight on Sky1, will be repeated. Its only a three part Si-fi story.

Story, a 1950's spaceship with 600 people onboard head to a far off planet to make a new life there, taking a century voyage, and they are only half way there.

SPOILER:
Figured out what was going on before the end of the first episode, and I was right, because they showed you it right at the end of the episode. 

A bit early I thought, to give you the crunch line to the story.

Not really, I think it's an interesting concept for a series.  They could've gone either way with the spoiler, but I suspect people would've felt short-changed if they'd kept that until the series ended.

For me it's more drama than out and out science fiction, although I love the 60's decor and attitudes as they really add to it.

And for a conspiracy theorist like yourself, isn't this akin to a documentary?

So did Annie. Halfway through she blurted out SPOILER:
'Truman Show!"

Well the last episode was the best with a lot of twists and turns, letting us know what the end goal was, and leaves it open for a future series, if they get the funding.

The only one thing that bugged me considering it was a 100 year flight ....

SPOILER:
.....As we know the spaceship is really on Earth, surely someone would have to do a space walk for repairs outside, and that is not possible when it is really in a bunker.
