Stargate Universe

Stargate Universe or SGU has been on for three weeks now. All I can say is I hope it improves. This definitely not your mama’s Stargate. It is more action packed, sexy, and drama filled.
One thing the show really needs to get is set leadership structure. There is a lot of feuding among those stuck on the ship. I miss the set team and the dynamic it bought. There are way too many people trying to do what is best for them and not the whole. The scientist vs civilian vs military hoopla craziness is all I can say. They all need to start together or they aren’t going to make it. I have a hard time keeping up with all the stuff going on and with who.
I really hope things change soon or I’ll be jumping ship.

Star Trek Themed Cereal

I finally got my hands on two whole boxes of the limited edition Star Trek Cereal from Kellogs. I had been checking all the stores and had friends checking as well. I finally found it on Sunday.

This morning for breakfast I had a bowl for breakfast. The cereal is like Lucky charms but Star Trek themed. The taste reminds me of Lucky Charms including the sugary milk I drank after wards.
There are five marshmallow shapes, a red delta shield,blue,yellow,Planet Vulcan, and Earth .  The cereal bits are called galaxy.Their the perfect size for the cereal.

I was happy that the cereal didn’t taste like crap like some of the other limited edition cereals that have been made in the past.

So if you have been hesitant about getting a box because you thought it’d be crap its not. its well worth the price which for me was $2.00 , a price cheaper than some of the other cereals out there.

Star Trek Promos my experience

With all the promotions going on I was going in full trek mode. I bought kellog’s,visited Burger Kings, etc. I even won a Star Trek messenger bag through a twitter contest. I finaly sent out my points for a free shirt from Kellog’s.My hardest part of that was to decide which color shirt out of the three options I wanted.  I finally went with Blue. I almost went with red but then the thought of all the red shirt jokes out there would haunt me everytime I wore it.  Blue was more logical in the long run.

Burger King my goal was to get a complete set of the four glasses, and the sixteen toys.At first I thought the toys would be the hardest to achieve with such a short time to do so.  The glassess I was fortunate enough to get within the first few days or the promotion. Had to eat a whopper jr meal just to be able to buy them at the 1.99 price.

My goal then was to get all the toys. All 16 noise making,realistic, movie based toys. I lucked out when one of the local Bks on two seperate occasions went out back and got out toys for me. I just finished the last four this past Friday. it took three weeks to get all of them. I opened mine and will be displaying them on a shelf.  They are some of the coolest toys I have ever seen come from a kids meal promotion. I was glad i didn’t have to buy a kids meal each time or that would have been crazy. I ate two kids meals the whole time. I’ll be sad to see the promotion end and the advertising gone from the resturants but it was fun while they lasted. This was my official first time  dealing with a  Star Trek promotion from a fast food place and it was awesome.

My current Trek promotion addiction is the Eggo waffles. There are over 25 different desings. The waffles do need a warning saying “resistance is futile” because it is hard to resist them.  It is also highly illogical to enjoy them all warm and covered in syrup.

I wish all these promotions could “live long and prosper” but as the saying goes “all good things must come to an end.”

Tv Show’s Last Season

I’ve noticed that with all the canceled shows that still have new episodes airing the voice over announcer says”Tune into the best season of(insert show title here)Ever!” I’ve seen it for Stargate Atlantis,ER,and Kyle XY. What about the previous seasons? Maybe they were better than the current season. Just because it’s a show’s last season doesn’t mean its the best season ever. I know its probably so that people will watch the show but those who watching it don’t need some wacked promos saying”hey this is the best,” only because its the end of the show. Come one. Tell me hey this is the last catch the new episodes while you can or something to that matter.
