Tune in tonight for another all-new episode of Stargate Universe! This week fans will see “Earth,” episode seven of Syfy’s hit new show. The episode features a guest appearance by Richard Dean Anderson’s Jack O’Neill, plus an appearance by pop recording artist Janelle Monáe (seen in the second clip below).
Here’s your early look! Watch out for significant SPOILERS below, particularly in Syfy’s full episode description …
From TV Guide:
General O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) wants Col. Young to implement a high-risk plan hatched by I.O.A. scientists that could possibly return the Destiny crew to Earth. Elsewhere, Eli and Chloe use the communication stones to visit their loved ones, culminating in a trip to a club.
From Syfy:
With the situation onboard the Destiny dire, General O’Neill and Home World Command orders Col. Young to execute a high risk plan concocted by the I.O.A. scientists which, in theory, could return the crew to earth. Col. Young tries to buy more time so that he can consult those on the ship whose lives are at stake. While using the communication stones, Camile Wray is approached by I.O.A. representative Dale Strom who suggests that she steer opinion on the ship in favor of the plan.
Eli and Chloe are allowed to use the communication stones to visit Earth and their loved ones for what may be the last time. Their homecoming is not what they expected and the two try to drink away their worries at a club (featuring Janelle Monáe), but are unable to ignore the looming fate of the Destiny that they have left behind.

Excuse me? I thought it was called Homeworld Security last time it was mentioned? Home World Command sounds like a mixture of the SGC and Homeworld Security. Did they dismantle the SGC under Cheyenne Mountain?
They dismantled the Stargate Command set to replace it with the SGU set. So they probably had to come up with a new command.
And technically, assuming Atlantis is still on earth, incoming wormholes would probably default to the Atlantis gate, essentially making it Stargate command by default anyways.
I thought I heard a rumor one time that they were planning to shut down the real Cheyenne Mountain anyways? I don’t know if its true or not…but if it is, then I guess that would also make sense as to why they moved Stargate Command somewhere else.
I see that you’ve added the schedule for Canada and Australia, but haven’t posted the news that SGU will begin airing in Latin America on November 25th with the first two-hour episode.
If you were a civilian stranded on a spaceship and were given a chance to visit Earth for a while would you just sit around at Stargate command or make your time worthwhile and have some fun?
I’m so disappointed with this series so far, I’m also looking forward for Jacks appearance. So far they have repeated the same story twice, Sand and water. I hope this improves, I hope I see some action, something that would resembles SG. If this is what we are gonna see for the rest of the season, they might as well call it a different name and not use the franchise like this.
(sigh) I guess I will need to use a screening program or do my typical speed read to skip over non helpful posts……never mind, cant believe I just let my temper get the best of me and sink to this low level
Actually besides one glaring scene, tonight’s show was pretty good. Eli is definitely my favorite character; I also liked the guy who always lands in the brig. I seriously dislike Scott; he should be kicked in the face.
Read the comments on the forum, it really sounds like folks are discussing some cheesy relationship drama, not a sci-fi show.
Alas, Stargate is no more.
For the love of god please don’t turn this into the same argument that we’ve had on every SGU episode article thus far. Can we at least try and stay within the confines of this one episode this time round.
Don’t let the Iris hit you on the butt on your way out.
Seriously, are the haters still having conniption fits?! If its not for you then be gone!! Hell, I don’t like bestiality but I don’t hang out in bestiality forums complaining that its just not as goods as sex with humans. SGU is in the Stargate mythos but it isn’t SG-1 or Atlantis and it never will be. You guys wanted another SG-1 clone like Atlantis and instead you got something deeper, more mature and more thought provoking than you can wrap your little minds around and you hate it for what it isn’t.
Good, it means they’re doing something right. So again, be freaking gone and leave those of us who do like the show to discuss it in peace.
Very good episode. Eli was great as usual. For those that dislike Scott, look at it from his point of view….he is basically second in command and MUST follow orders from his commanding officer no matter who gives them. I guess everyone has to have a character they “hate” which is such a strong word to use for fictional characters. I happen to like Scott, and will say it again, he is a young officer doing the best he can in a difficult situation.
I actually like how Rush solved the issue with Telford….great job that he and Brodie pulled off. It didn’t surprise me that Telford put Greer in the brigg ASAP, considering how Greer feels about him. I am however having issues with Telford, at the end with him knocking on Young’s door (which doesnt mean I dont like him, just not really sure what his deal is)….not a good thing.
Every time I read the posts I have to take a deep breath and try to ignore those that choose to spout venom instead of stating what they did and did not like about the episode is a constructive way. It truly gets harder and harder to do. There are those here that try to give their opinions without resorting to name calling, venomous posts and attacks on characters. Please, for those that like to visit this site refrain from the drama.
Tune in tonight for another all-new episode of 
“General O’Neill and Home World Command” …

Probably a typo when the episode synopsis was being written. I wouldn’t worry about it.
I don’t like Janelle Monáe. She reminds me of a Bond villian from one of the older Bond movies.

Michael Sacal | November 6 @ 11:43 amIf I were watching the Sneak Peak without knowing anything about the show, I’d never guess it was a sci-fi series.
Sylvia | November 6 @ 12:46 pmBut then, maybe that’s the point?
Stargate:Clubbing! Now that’s the kind of science fiction that really makes you think!
Imitation Tofu | November 6 @ 2:38 pmIt actualy makes me sad that the only thing I am looking forward to here, is Jack’s appearance. I just miss good old SG-1 SGA episodes…. :(
Gaia | November 6 @ 3:45 pmLikewise, Gaia.
The Tenth Doctor | November 6 @ 4:26 pmIf you were a civilian stranded on a spaceship and were given a chance to visit Earth for a while would you just sit around at Stargate command or make your time worthwhile and have some fun?

@Sylvia:
Funny considering people are actually liking it saying there was great character development. They also stated that SGU is Stargate.
Orion Coran | November 6 @ 11:58 pmFor the love of god please don’t turn this into the same argument that we’ve had on every SGU episode article thus far. Can we at least try and stay within the confines of this one episode this time round.
Tanith | November 7 @ 12:06 amHonestly, if this is what people want to see in a Stargate show, then they have left me behind.
Sylvia | November 7 @ 12:58 amNo hard feelings, just sadness.
