SYFY - STARGATE UNIVERSE - NEW Episodes Resume March 7, 2011

Mar 7 10:00 PM Deliverance - Written by Paul Mullie and directed by Andy Mikita
Mar 8 12:00 AM Deliverance

The final 10 episodes pick up from December’s jarring cliffhanger, where the Destiny encountered two warring races and an ally thought dead returned. In the Season 2.5 premiere, ‘Deliverance,’ the Destiny is now locked in a battle with a Drone Command Ship and surprised by the arrival of the aliens that abducted Rush and Chloe.

From TV Guide: Chloe contacts her alien abductors to buy the Destiny time to circumvent attacking drones; Volker and Brody tend to Destiny's damaged shields.

From IMDB, guest star is Tobias Slezak as Peter (also appeared in Visitation and Intervention).

From SciFi and TV Talk's interview with Brian Jacob Smith:

... The show’s cast and crew have been shooting the mid-season episode Deliverance, in which Scott faces an uncertain future with regard to his relationship with Chloe Armstrong. Part of this episode requires some of our heroes to put on spacesuits, a task that always proves memorable for all those actors involved.

“It can be very, very hard when you’re in the spacesuits all day long,” admits Smith, stepping out into an especially warm July afternoon in Vancouver during a break in filming. “That must be what it feels like to be old, really old; you can’t move, you’re always hot and uncomfortable, your freakin’ back hurts, and so do your shoulders, but you look really cool in those suits,” says the actor with a smile. “I’ve been in those suits, though, so many times that you just have to go to your happy place and think, ‘OK, these things look terrific onscreen.’ That’s all you can ask for.”

From Blastr:

Stargate Universe returns with an explosive midseason premiere called "Deliverance" tonight at 10 p.m., which will kick off the final 10 episodes of the series. "I'm pretty happy with the whole back 10," said co-creator and executive producer Brad Wright. "I think we come back from the break very, very strong, with some really, really moving episodes and actually some big action stuff. 'Deliverance,' which is the second part of the two-parter, has a ton of action in it."



Mar 14 10:00 PM Twin Destinies - Written by Brad Wright, Directed by Peter DeLuise
Mar 15 12:00 AM Twin Destinies

From Blastr:

The next episode after "Deliverance" is "Twin Destinies," said Wright. "It's actually a very big story too. It's got a ton of scope and a significant amount of action, as well. ... It sets up a huge story arc that will follow up the rest of the season. And I don't really want to spoil it beyond that. I just want to say that there's something that is initiated that takes place and carries on through the rest of the story."

According to Wright, "Twin Destinies" is a pivotal episode especially because crew finally comes to a realization. "There's some fairly compelling scenes between Rush and the rest of the crew that make everybody realize that 'We need to be here.'"



Mar 21 10:00 PM Alliances - Written by Linda McGibney
and directed by Peter DeLuise. According to IMDB guest stars include French Stewart (the original Lieutenant Ferretti in the Stargate feature film)
Mar 22 12:00 AM Alliances

An attack on Homeworld Command traps Greer and Wray.

Mar 8 update Source: Titan TV Synopsis:

When an alien ship crashes into Homeworld Command, Greer and Wray find themselves in the middle of an alien attack; Senator Michaels [Kathleen Quinlan] and Dr. Covel board [French Stewart] Destiny in order to discover from Rush the viability of another Icarus base.

From Blastr:

Then, in "Alliances," the Lucian Alliance threat against Earth comes to a head, which leads to a Greer/Camile Wray story. That episode is followed by "Hope" and "Seizure."

Mar 28 10:00 PM Hope - Written by Carl Binder
Mar 29 12:00 AM Hope

Another consciousness finds it’s way into Chloe’s body through the stones while Volker succumbs to an illness Tamara may not be able to treat.

Update March 11 source: TV Guide Synopsis:

Ginn resurfaces in Chloe via the communication stones, creating a dilemma for Eli and Rush to solve; Greer becomes a kidney donor after Tamara diagnoses Volker with end-stage renal disease.

From Blastr:

"'Hope' is a beautiful character story by Carl Binder, some of his best work. And we see what the repercussions are of not having a doctor and medical training. And it puts T.J. really in the forefront of things. There's also an interesting stones-related story that has repercussions that we move on into 'Seizure.' And in 'Seizure,' we try again essentially to investigate at least the possibility of dialing Destiny from another place in the Milky Way galaxy, because what we feel what we desperately need the most is a supply line. Even though we can't go home, if we had support and help and resources from Earth, that would be fabulous. And that leads into the beginnings of the arc that takes us into the last episodes, which I don't want to give away. We meet beings who we have a lot in common with. I'll just leave it at that..."

... The writer’s third script for this season, Hope, is a medical drama that was shot in August 2010 after the summer production hiatus. “Rob Cooper had an idea about what would our characters do if they had a serious medical emergency onboard Destiny,” says Binder. “This episode follows one in which there is a problem with the communication stones and they lose contact with Earth for a while. Now we have a situation in which one of Destiny’s crew needs a major operation, but without the stones there’s no way to connect to Earth and get a doctor to take over and perform the operation, so TJ [Alaina Huffman] has to do it. Meanwhile, there’s a second story unfolding at the same time involving a member of the Lucian Alliance and something that happened in an earlier story this season, Malice...”
