Sci-Fi Storm

It’s another “Powerful Mondays” lineup next Monday, with all new episodes of Eureka, Warehouse 13 and Alphas. And don’t forget – Summer Glau guest stars on Alphas!

This week in Eureka, Holly and Fargo appear to be on the surface of another planet. They try to keep things humorous while getting the job done, but their mission backfires and they become engulfed in smoke. Holly’s suit rapidly loses pressure and Fargo tells her she simply needs to recalculate. Be sure to watch the clip and tune in at 8/7c to see if Holly can find a way to save herself, or if someone else can step in.

This week in Eureka, Allison and Carter are discussing why Allison’s brain may be a little fuzzy as she claims days are starting to merge together. Carter is trying to reassure her that it’s ok to regroup and ease back into things, while also letting him take care of her. Be sure to watch the clip and tune in at 8/7c to see if Allison will allow Carter to cater to her, or if she’ll end up taking care of him.

Here’s good news for a change this week: Syfy has confirmed it has renewed Warehouse 13 for a 4th season with a 13 episode order, to air in 2012. Not much is known beyond that at this point, but congrats to the whole team!

The new “Powerful Mondays” lineup on Syfy featuring Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Alphas certainly seems to be doing the trick for the network – overall viewers were up 8% in July, plus double digit gains in 3 key Male demographics over July of last year – 18% in Men 18-34 (126,000), 16% in Men 18-49 (341,000), and 13% in Men 25-54 (392,000).

Syfy launched Summer Premiere Week on July 11, showcasing the “Most Powerful Night of the Week” with Eureka at 8PM, Warehouse 13 at 9PM and newcomer Alphas at 10PM. That night became Syfy’s highest Monday time period audience for scripted series in more than 10 years.

Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager, Body of Proof) will guest star as a would-be bride on Syfy’s hit series Warehouse 13 Monday, August 1, at 9PM (ET/PT).

In Monday’s episode “Queen for a Day,” Ryan portrays Amanda, whose planned fairy tale wedding is derailed when exposure to an artifact threatens her life and the lives of everyone around her.

And according to a tweet from star Eddie McClintock, “If any of U watched the preview 4 next weeks #WAREHOUSE13, U now know Pete was married 2 @JeriLRyan! #STUDCREDTHROUGHTHEROOF” So apparently Amanda is Pete’s ex-wife!

The preview below is for the other story in the episode: New agent Steve Jinks and Claudia are caught in a civil war as Claudia comes to his rescue with a mini-tesla. Jinks thinks the quick move to save him reminds him of his big sister growing up. Claudia wants details to his past but finds out his sister is actually dead.

Warehouse 13 will get a triple threat – that is, three guest stars well known in the SF community, on the upcoming episode to air July 25th, “Love Sick”.

Lindsay Wagner and Rene Auberjonois will reprise their previous guest roles. Wagner returns as Dr. Vanessa Calder, the in-house Warehouse doctor who is responsible for treating the team – and also has a romantic connection with Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek), while Auberjonois returns as Hugo Miller, a computer genius from decades past in the Warehouse, who Artie and Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) call to help them out of a life-threatening situation.

Sasha Roiz, who played Sam Adama on Caprica, the mobster brother to Joseph Adama, plays the mysterious and sinister Marcus Diamond.

And by the way, “Love Sick” was mentioned by stars Eddie McClintock and Saul Rubinek as among their favorites this season in the discussion we had with them.

It seems that Syfy has found a strong scripted Monday lineup…with the return of already strong shows Eureka and Warehouse 13 and the addition of Alphas resulted in their highest rated scripted Monday in 10 years – with Alphas scoring 2.5 million viewers, making it the most watched debut on the channel in 2 years. Eureka and Warehouse 13 also averaged more than 2 million viewers each.

Also boosted by the debuts was Syfy.com, which delivered its best day in video streams (378K) since 11/1/2009; uniques (376K) since 10/31/10; page views (1.4 million) since 3/18/11, and visits (373K) since 1/17/11.

Syfy’s Summer Premiere Week continues on Wednesday, July 13, with the third season of Ghost Hunters International at 9PM, followed by the premiere of Legend Quest at 10PM. On Friday, July 15, Haven returns for its second season at 10PM.
