While not quite as eventful as last night's series premiere, the next two installments in Ascension's three-night event featured a solid debut for Samantha Krueger, whose investigation into Project Ascension yielded some interesting info about the mission. Meanwhile, on-board the ship, the crew made some good headway on Lorelei's murder, as the vic...
