Sci-Fi Storm

Sadly, Stargate Universe ends its run next Monday.

In the sneak peek clip of the Series Finale of Stargate Universe, Eli and Rush think they’ve found a way to control the drones so that the Destiny can navigate to other planets to re-supply and ultimately reach the end of the galaxy. As Eli begins to break down the findings for the Colonel it is revealed that the drones are literally waiting at every gate between their current location and the edge of the galaxy. Basically, Eli thinks they’re screwed. Watch the clip and tune into the finale on Monday at 9/8c only on Syfy to find out if the Destiny can make it through the minefield of drones and find the other end safely.

MGM announced that the street date for the second season DVD release of Stargate Universe has been moved up to May 31st, and [sfs=1133]pre-orders are available now[/sfs]. Interestingly, no Blu-ray release has been announced – although they are releasing the [sfs=1134]entire series of Stargate Atlantis on Blu-ray[/sfs] in July, almost 22 months after the DVD release – so it may just be released later.

In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Stargate Universe, a swarm of drones are in pursuit of the Destiny and quickly approaching. The team couldn’t see them on their radar when they popped up from behind a planet. They are trying to reach a star but they also need to refuel. Watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 9/8c only on Syfy to see if they are able to escape, go straight through, or if they succumb to the firing of the drones.

In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Stargate Universe, part of the team is sent to the planet in what looks like a snow storm, only to find out that it’s falling ash. The city center is completely abandoned, but they are now looking for an underground fall-out shelter where others may be huddled together. The problem is that the doors are sealed and pretty thick. After debate about the danger of firing at the doors from the Destiny, Eli says it’s worth a shot. In anticipation of the uncertainty the shot will actually hit and provide an entry way, the Destiny fires and allows the team a passage to the shelter. Watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 9/8c on Syfy to find out what the team finds.

The new series Urban Legends debuts tonight on Syfy, right after Stargate Universe (see a sneak peek). To give you an idea about the new series, here is a sneak peek…

In the Syfy series, underscoring the art of storytelling, Urban Legends asks its viewers to decipher fact from fiction. Three tall tales are dramatically recreated and the audience must decide which is real from these stories of astronomical proportion. In the sneak peek clip of the Season Premiere of Urban Legends, a man is held at gunpoint on his own living room floor by men that look to be on the SWAT team based on their gear and clothes. The man being held against his will can’t figure out the reasoning for the invasion in his own home, and soon realizes his two dogs have been killed and his mother-in-law has been thrown to the ground. He sees police standing outside of his house and realizes this is no ordinary invasion while trying to reason with the masked men in telling them he hasn’t done anything wrong and that he’s the mayor. The masked men think he must be crazy for claiming such a thing, and it all leads to an unmarked box. What’s inside? You will have to watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 10/9c on Syfy to find out!

Breaking news from Vancouver: Information is coming from a variety of source via Twitter, but it is official – there will be no Stargate Universe movie, and even the written SG-1 and Atlantis movies (as they are now) won’t happen, according to Brad Wright (and confirmed by SGU actor Brian J. Smith), who is moving on to other projects. The franchise is still in MGM’s hands, and there seems to be plenty of hope that the franchise will live on…

A good summary of what is known so far can be found at the Stargate Solutions Blog.

In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Stargate Universe, the crew aboard the Destiny are under attack from a command ship gaining on their heels. The command ship sends out six smaller fighter ships to take aim on the Destiny, and while they’re picking them off one by one, they fear there might be more on the way and don’t know how long they can defend themselves. They move forward to maximum acceleration to try and outrun their hunter. Watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 9/8c on Syfy to find out if the Destiny can find safety.

In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Stargate Universe, Greer and Scott explain why space deer might just end their momentary status as a vegetarian for the past 10 months. The hunger causes them to set out in the forest and take down their next meal. Greer momentarily loses focus on the kill and the deer are spooked away. Knowing all they have is time they get up and set out on foot after them until the deer leap from the shrubs, letting out ferocious groans, and the prey suddenly becomes the predator. Watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 10/9c on Syfy for this action filled episode!

Just a programming reminder – tonight on Syfy is both the season finale of breakout hit Being Human at 9PM ET (see our sneak peek), followed by the return of Dr. Rodney McKay to the Stargate franchise in a guest appearance on Stargate Universe at 10PM ET (we also have a sneak peek of that).

Update: Yes, I screwed up…I counted wrong plus something else I read resulted in me confusing when the Being Human season finale is – that’s NEXT week…

In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Stargate Universe, Eli tries to express why his mathematical formulas and how he arrives at his solutions are correct, with a smug confidence through his young demeanor. It is clearly trusted by Colonel Young, and he simply wants to move forward after receiving word from Eli. Back at Homeworld Command, Young explains that the Lucian Alliance will no longer have the opportunity to attack the Destiny. He calmly states that it would be by providing a peace offering. The look on his face says something different. Be sure to watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 10/9c on Syfy to see what the next step will be for Young and those aboard.
