Tonight on SGU: ‘Earth’

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.

  • "General O’Neill and Home World Command" ...

    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?

    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.

  • 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 I were watching the Sneak Peak without knowing anything about the show, I'd never guess it was a sci-fi series.
    But then, maybe that's the point?

  • It 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.... :(

  • 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?
