SGU - Beware of possible spoilers

Yay!! Stargate is back...kind of. The new series is definitely different in feel from the first two. It's kind of what I was hoping Atlantis would be like, the threat of death is much more real and they _are not_ finding a way home any time soon (well, okay, that's mostly conjecture but I believe the story will uphold it). Survival is the key word, and it's not a hand picked team where everyone has the right skills needed. And one of the main characters, he actually gives me a creep vibe...not sure his intentions, but I like that. I was told it had a BSG feel to it, and boy does it ever...even the music. It gets right into things, and very little (so far) standing around (or sitting in a briefing room) talking about what's going on. Both SG-1 and Atlantis kind of went heavy on that I now realize. They don't have time to stand around and talk, they literally have a count-down going as soon as they 'arrive'. One person is already dead, giving the others just a day of extra time. I am impressed and have high hopes for the series. Let's hope it keeps the slightly BSG feel, but stays true to it's SG roots.

Side note: Jack's put on a lot of weight :P Nice to see Sam again :D Why is Daniel only in a video?:( *wants copies ;)*

Oh! Speaking of Sam, Amanda Tapping's actual series, Sanctuary, starts this Friday :D Am almost as excited about that one as I was about SGU. I can't claim super fandom on Sanctuary, but I did start watching while it was still a web series.

You know, one of these visits out to Van, I'm going to get the courage to ask someone to get me an introduction...yeah, right :P

Anyhoo, completely changing gears here, an employee at work that's basically taken the summer off 'due to medical reasons' is back...and working as little as possible. They're not reliable, can't be contacted, lazy and backstabbing. Yet, we have to take them back...why?? They are not living up to the performance expected of them, especially at their level. It's the same with why can't we get rid of another employee that causes more problems than necessary, and has literally scared off other employees with their bad attitude? Grrrrrrr......
