It turns out this week's House was a repeat but I did watch last Friday's two hour premiere of "Sanctuary." There were a lot of things I didn't like about the show but the worst, by far, was Amanda Tapping's accent. It was TERRIBLE. She was in and out of the accent the entire time and, when she was "in," it wasn't the slightest bit convincing. Bad choice. Bad, bad choice.
Will seems like a less exciting, less attractive version of Daniel Jackson. Amanda Tapping's character was boring. The only character I did like was Tapping's daughter who's name I can't remember but feels like a cross between Sally Sparrow and Jenny (the Doctor's daughter). I didn't find her the slightest bit believable but I liked her spunk. It's possible the show could have had merit but I was so busy cringing every time Tapping spoke I couldn't find the merit.
I'll watch a few more episodes but I have very low expectations.
I was very, very lazy today. I intended to spend most of the day reading Endymion but, instead, slept from 1:30pm until 4pm. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I came across a few interesting links today, though:
Can the 'inner grown-ups' save us from disaster? - A Yom Kippur article that looks to Bill Adama as the kind of leader we need.
From kaelie: Make-Believe Maverick: A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty. It's a scary look at a man who could become our president.
From subluxate: TripAdvisor is giving away a million dollars to charity. You can vote once for how the money is distributed. All five causes get a share; the votes just determine the amounts.
Last thought for today until I come back later to ramble about CSI and SPN: Sally was just as lazy today as I was (but cuter about it).
