Ascension - 5/10
This show starts out really good. It's about a ship full of astronauts taking a century long trip to a new planet. They're 50 years in and the people on it now know that they will live and die their whole lives inside of the ship and never see the destination which their children will colonize. Then they throw in what is one of the coolest twists I have ever seen in a TV show (for those who've seen it, I'm taking about the thing at the end of the second episode).
However, instead of sticking with that and having themselves a really frigging awesome concept for a sci-fi show, they then go and throw in another twist (the thing with the little girl), which makes the entire thing just fall off a cliff ... and then hit the ground, roll a bit and fall off another cliff.
