Watch the Stargate Universe premiere right now … for free!

Stargate Universe made its big premiere on Syfy Channel in the United States last night, and as we previously reported the first two hours of the show are now available to watch online at Hulu.com and iTunes!

Watch “Air” Parts 1 and 2 now, courtesy of Hulu:

Hulu posts new episodes every Saturday, following their Friday premiere.  The five most recent episodes will be available — though “Air” Parts 1 and 2 are listed together as a single episode (as it aired), so it should remain available on Hulu until episode #7 has aired on Syfy.

Hulu is, unfortunately, restricted to U.S. viewers due to distribution agreements.  Rumor has it, however, that a U.K.-based Hulu is in the works.  SGU premieres there this Tuesday, on Sky1.

The show is also now available on Hulu.com and iTunes, commercial-free and in both standard defition ($1.99 per episode) and high-def ($2.99 per episode).  And for a limited time, U.S. viewers can download last night’s premiere from iTunes for FREE.  So get to it!

Stargate Universe continues next Friday at 9 p.m. (8 central) on Syfy.

(Thanks to Jim for the tip!)

  • Just letting people know that iTunes in Canada is also listing the double episode as free right now.

  • Whoa...I was just planning on using Hulu cause I was busy last night, but I can download the HD episodes for free?! Sweet!

    (Already started downloading 4 hours ETA)

  • OK, I did give it a shot and it was just like they said: relationship centered and edgy and I've got enough of that in real life. Come on, is this Stargate or Santa Barbara? Barely two substantial event sequences in 1.5 hours plus one hint at battle action, but tons of some weak people's problems. On a sci-fi action I want to see heroes, legends like SG-1 or SGA members and I want to see adventures. I dumped Defying Gravity after the pilot because of being rather a moody boring soap only in sci-fi clothing, I don't see why I would treat SGU any different for it's the same. I don't understand is this an attempt to attract soaps' audience or just a cheaper way of shooting sci-fi series they found? Wait till next weeks for real viewership results. Or... If this is made for modern audience, who are the rest of us then? Walking dead? Well, then I guess they will not be sad to see us go =))

  • Sorry, but I am realy dissapointed that this features are (AGAIN) limited only to USA.
    You have a lot of fans in Europe too, you know??? Might as well think about thema a bit too.

  • European fans get screwed as usual - there are ways, however, to set up accounts with the US iTunes store and thus be able to download SGU legally.

  • "Off course Central europe is discriminated again."

    Super G, no disrespect is intended. Did you know that in the U.S. we had to wait almost a year before we were even allowed to watch footage from Torchwood on the official website, much less watch the show? We have to wait weeks before we can see the new Doctor Who episodes. It's all about international copyright laws. Hell, in the U.S. we don't even get to have the original soundtrack to Sonic CD in our copies, and that game is over 15 years old.

    Everyone gets screwed when it comes to copyright laws in one way or anther. It's not just you. :)
