Tonight on SGU: ‘Air, Part 3’

The series premiere of Stargate Universe concludes tonight in the U.S. and Canada, with “Air, Part 3” screening on Syfy Channel and SPACE (respectively).

It’s on Syfy at 9 p.m. (8 Central), followed by the season premiere of Amanda Tapping’s Sanctuary at 10.  In Canada, those two are swapped:  watch Sanctuary at 9 Eastern and SGU at 10.

Here’s a preview of the episode!  (Beware of SPOILERS, particularly in the Syfy description below.)

From Syfy:

With the air supply failing on the Destiny, a team disembarks to a desert-like planet in search of the mineral needed to scrub the ship’s air of carbon dioxide. After testing numerous sand samples without success, and with their window of opportunity closing fast, the group opts to split into two to cover more ground, despite the unbearable heat. While one team presses on to find the treasured mineral, the other has another goal in mind. When it is apparent that Dr. Rush (ROBERT CARLYLE) can’t go on, Lt. Scott (BRIAN J. SMITH) decides to go it alone and orders Sgt. Greer (JAMIL WALKER SMITH) to return to safety with the exhausted scientist.

Meanwhile, with life on the ship looking bleak, and with the aid of the communication stones, Col. Young (LOUIS FERREIRA) reports in to O’Neill, and Chloe (ELYSE LEVESQUE), has one last chance to see her mother.

From TV Guide:

A search team combs a desert planet for a vital mineral to scrub away the carbon dioxide that’s accumulating on the Destiny. Meanwhile, Chloe (Elyse Levesque) reaches out to her mother via the communication stones.
