Primary Protagonist Devan, a Menonite? From who decides he wants to marry outside the wishes of the dome Patriarch and God (the Computer). Facing death after discovering the voice of God is just the Patriarch recording his own words for computer playback, he escapes the dome and learns about the Ark.
The Series was created by Cordwainer Bird. Significant to those who love Scifi, its a pen name used by Scifi Author Harlan Ellison.
We see Devan murder an AI, encounter a colony of men who procreate by cloning- the Governor of whom is the original Battlestar Galactica's Gaius Baltar. Walter Koenig puts in a few episodes as an Alien whose people intend to salvage the Ark for themselves. There is cryo storage of people who were injured when a Ship reactor blew, a community with neural-link brain chips to link the populace for greater efficiency - used for torture and punishment by the defacto ruling class. There are things here that parallel our modern world. It seems the ship was never built to save the best of humanity. Rather its populated by bleep! (You will get that joke if you watch the 16 episodes).
