Colonel Samantha Carter will be back on the small screen before the first season of Stargate Universe is over. Actress Amanda Tapping confirmed to The Huffington Post that she will return for another guest appearance at the end of the season.

“I’ve done two episodes,” Tapping told the site. “I did their first two-parter and I’m at the very end of their season. And I just shot that a few weeks ago. So I started their season and I’m ending their season, which was very cool. But I didn’t get to play with anyone. If they were ever to have me come back, I’d want to be with people. I’m kind of off on my ship, which I think is awesome.”

The actress made a guest appearance in “Air, Part 1,” with Colonel Carter now in command of the Earth ship Hammond. The ship ferried characters to the Icarus Base, then unsuccessfully defended the outpost from an enemy attack.

Tapping said that seeing the U.S.S. George Hammond plaque (you can see it here) on the bridge of her ship was bittersweet for her. The newest addition to Earth’s fleet on the show was named in honor of actor Don S. Davis’s character after Davis passed way in 2008.

“I have to say, when I got to work, and I saw the uniform and the General Hammond crest on it, I teared up. I think it’s a great honor to, not only Don, but to the character. So that was very cool.”

The exact episode or episodes in which Tapping will appear have not been confirmed. Season One ends with a two-parter, titled “Incursion.” It will air next spring.

New episodes of Stargate Universe air Fridays on Syfy in the U.S. The mid-season finale will air on December 4, with the back half of the first season expected to commence in late March or early April.
