The new space-set, post-apocalyptic series “The Ark” lazily goes where much better shows have gone before. Read beastobsessed's review:
. Thus, even though it’s debuting on Syfy rather than in theaters,fits comfortably into his body of work, insofar as it’s another tale of apocalyptic planetary threats and humanity’s desperate mission to stave off extinction.is set in an unspecified future in which Earth is on the verge of becoming uninhabitable. In response, mankind has built a collection of enormous ships known as Arks that are intended to reach a distant planet fit for colonization.
These men and women survive by the skin of their teeth but their commanders aren’t so lucky, leaving only three lieutenants—Garnet, prickly Spencer Lane , and confident James Brice —to assume control of their Ark. That’s a thankless job, since this incident has left the craft with only minimal food supplies and even less water, and certainly not enough of either to make it to their alien-world end point, which is still a year’s journey away.
Angus is a horticulturalist who conveniently snuck a giant crate of super-fertile soil onto the Ark , and in the blink of an eye, he’s retrofitting a storage room into a greenhouse where he can grow enough food for everyone. This trio provides the show with a dash of YA love-triangle melodrama. Alas, it’s undermined by the fact that Angus is an insufferable cartoon nerd and Alicia is an even more intolerable cutesy motormouth whose every utterance makes one wish for a black hole to magically appear on the Ark’s horizon.

Concerns over prayer breakfast lead Congress to take it overThe National Prayer Breakfast, one of the most visible and long-standing events that brings religion and politics together in Washington, is splitting from the private religious group that had overseen it for decades, due to concerns the gathering had become too divisive. The organizer and host for this year's breakfast, scheduled for Thursday, will be the National Prayer Breakfast Foundation, headed by former Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. Sen. Chris Coons, a regular participant and chairman of the Senate ethics committee, said the move was prompted in part by concerns in recent years that members of Congress did not know important details about the larger multiday gathering.
