Stargate Universe: AIR: PART 2

Air Date: Friday, October 9, 2009 at 9 PM on 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.

Here’s a clip from the next episode of Supernatural: I Believe the Children Are Our Future.

Sanctuary returns for a second season and it begins with an episode that changes everything for Magnus and Will. The two part season opener begins tonight and ends next week. It’s going to be a deeper, darker, more exciting season.

The cast and crew of Sanctuary have learned a lot since they began filming this series which is ground-breaking in it’s heavy use of green screen effects. If you haven’t seen Sanctuary since the start of the first season, you haven’t seen Sanctuary.

Sanctuary: End of Nights Part One

Air Date: October 9 at 10:00 on Syfy

Dr. Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING) continues her desperate search for her daughter, Ashley (EMILIE ULLERUP), who is still held prisoner by the Cabal. Together, Magnus and John Druitt (CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL) interrogate their most elusive contacts around the globe in an attempt to find her and make sense of the Cabal’s plan.

Since being captured by the Cabal a few months before, Ashley has been undergoing a series of injections and tests resulting in a formidable and alarming transformation. Unbeknownst to the Sanctuary team, her painful and dangerous mutation sets in motion the next phase of the Cabal’s destructive mission.

When highly classified information is stolen from a top-secret Interpol location, Magnus is alerted. Will Zimmerman (ROBIN DUNNE) investigates and is surprised to see that it is Ashley on the security tapes pulling off the heist single-handedly.

Relieved in part that Ashley is at least still alive, Magnus, Will, Druitt, Henry (RYAN ROBBINS) and Tesla (JONATHAN YOUNG) gather to make sense of this latest development and plan their next steps to bring her home.

Yesterday, the marvelous Mr. Leonard Nimoy spent part of his afternoon with a group of reporters to talk about his role in tonight’s episode of Fringe. But since he couldn’t reveal too many details about the mysterious William Bell, we got him to talk about other things like the state of science fiction on TV, the difference in TV production from Star Trek to now and his love of photography.

As someone who’s watched Star Trek most of her life, it was a real thrill to talk with an actor whose voice carries so many memories. He was warm and thoughtful but the best part was his laugh, a sound he let loose right after he was asked the first question. I wish I had a tape of it to play for you, but you’ll just have to imagine that deep, vibrato as he chuckled over a question I’m sure he’s been asked many times.

Did you have any reservations on taking another role with the potential of such a fanatic following?

L. Nimoy: I love this question.  I can’t help but laugh because you’re absolutely right.  It’s an interesting set of circumstances.  What attracted me to it was several things.  J.J. Abrams, Bob Orci, and Alex Kurtzman, who I worked with on the Star Trek movie, I admire their talent and the work that they do. The series is at the very least to say intriguing.  The character was somewhat of a blank slate, but we began talking about it and, therefore, attracted because there’s an opportunity to build an interesting and unpredictable character.  I’m enjoying it a lot.

So lately it seems as if you’re J.J. Abrams’ muse of sorts.  Can you tell us a little bit more about your relationship with him?
