there was a story a while back on gateworld about reclaiming death and the effect ascension has had on the show. So what does everyone think? has ascension taken the drama away? when ascension was first introduce i thought it was awesome. when daniel ascended it was cool because we were losing a beloved character but we werent at the same time, it just fit that daniel would be someone that ascended. i think the first misuse of ascension was in "Abyss"
Do i need spoiler space for season six? ill put it in to be safe

i think that abyss is when ascension first went to far, as soon as daniel suggested it as a way out for jack ascension lost all its "coolness" it was no longer a journey to another plane of existence and understand but now simply a way to cheat death. Ascension is only supposed to be for people who have reached a state of enlightenment to move beyond the physical plane.
In "full circle" having the ancients turn out to be the ascended (something i suspected a while before) was an awesome plot twist but i wish they hadnt have had the reason behind their ascension be because of a plague wiping them out. it further trivialized ascension. it should have been that the ancients ascended because as a race the had started to reach the highest level of enlightenment possible on this plane of existence.
Skaara's ascension was ok because i think that after everything he went through and with as good and caring a person he was, ascension was acceptable.
the whole population of abydos ascending however tottaly destroyed all the menace and drama of anubis. it showed that while the ascended arnt going to directly interfere with stopping him (even though they created him basically) they are going to clean up after him if he is gonna use ancient technology. so what does everyone else think?
