Buy Sunshine Cleaning

It bored me and I lost all interest in trying to work out the purpose. Single mom, sleeping with (married) ex-boyfriend from HS, looking to find a better job to support her child, with false hopes/dreams from father of her kid (married ex-boyfriend from HS); whom happens to be on the police department. Starts a bio-hazard cleaning service, hires her sister, whom burns down a client's home, to her father whom is wasting his money and time on "get rich quick schemes".

Purchase The Tyrant

There is a comedic part to this episode as well as a darkly tragic part. The comedic part is House now acting in an advisory capacity to his old unit while Foreman remains in charge (House's medical license has still not been released back to him by the state medical board). As usual, his one-upmanship is beyond compare. He even uses athletic signals to play a form of charades to convey his diagnoses. The deeply tragic part is that the patient (James Earl Jones) has committed genocide in his own country as its leader. To cure him is to continue the mass murder. The doctors are deeply conflicted about saving him, except for House who is not allowed patient contact in his new capacity. Get more detail about The Tyrant.

Order Air Part 1

"Stargate Universe" starts with the evacuation through the stargate of a group of soldiers, scientists and civilians onto the spaceship Destiny. People are confused and frightened, tumbling over each other in a dark unknown gate room and getting things thrown at them through the stargate.

This scene shows the new concept of SGU. People act more real. They act like everyone of us would probably act like in the same situation, not like having-always-everything-under-control people.
"Air - part 1" introduces to the new characters of this series by switching between "Now" and "Past" until both timelines are in synch again. We get a brief intro about what kind of person the various characters are and why they are part of the evacuated group.

If you are into shallow, simply action driven plot where you know from the beginning who will solve which problem and nothing bad can really to the characters because they always win, then you might not like the new format of the stargate franchise.

This series is about people who are not trained for the situation they find themselves in. They show emotions, they show weakness, but also strength. They show character and the promise to grow.
There is still a lot of action and really cool special effects in the first episode to see.
If you look for action, tension, political schemes, visual effects, technology, entertainment and characters you can root for, this might be the right thing for you.

Watch "Air" and make up your own mind. Don't expect SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis feeling. This is Stargate Universe. Darker, more realistic, more drama and more unpredictable storyline.

(Note: the jumping between "now" and "past" is only used in part 1 to introduce the characters. It is not the plot format the series will follow for the other episodes.)
