It has been a relaxing day. The only big thing that was done was getting groceries and that was fairly easy to do. I also received a message that I am officially an employee at my new job. Due to the holidays I won’t have my first day till December 7th. I am excited to have a set date though. I know I don’t have anything in my background that would make me invalid for employment but I hate waiting for those things to go through. I am going to relax for the rest of the evening and the biggest thing I want to do is watch Stargate Universe. I have been watching the show and it has its ups and downs. I decided to give it a chance after the first few episodes and although it is slow going and there is a lot of character development all at once instead of snippets through out the series, it is interesting to see how the events unfold. I have found it to be slightly predictable, and since there is a lot of character development it has been slow to get to action or some satisfactory plot development. It is slightly boring with the crew being stuck on a ship they can’t use at the moment and I think the trips to their home galaxy with the communication stones is overplayed. The last episode had a very abrupt cliffhanger ending that doesn’t seem to fit with the commercials I have seen for the next episode so who knows what will happen with tonight’s episode. I’m sure it will fit in somewhere in the series. Overall I have been impressed with the series. They expanded on the ideas from stargate sg1 and atlantis, and made an entirely new show. I have read viewer reviews and a lot of people are knocking it for not being like the other series. I am happy with a fresh view on it. It reminds me of Battlestar Galactica the way the camera work is done, the plot development seems like a lot of the old anime series I used to watch, slow to get the the resolution and heavy character progression and development. I look forward to see how the series goes.
