Stargate Universe is in its first season, another spinoff of the highly successful Stargate franchise. Stargate Universe episodes air on Fridays 9/8 pm. The series premiered with a two-hour first episode on October 2nd. Stargate Universe is set on the “Ancient” ship Destiny, which was launched unmanned millions of years ago. The current human inhabitants are unable to return to Earth due to an evacuation of the planet. The goal of the ships such as Destiny was to disperse Stargates throughout the universe. The Ancients had planned on using a Stargate to board Destiny, a sort of teleportation device. Not to give away any spoilers, the series starts up when soldiers from present day Earth travel through the Stargate to the Destiny. When they board, they find that the computer systems are damaged and are unable to navigate let alone return to Earth. It has a kind of Star Trek meets Lost in Space feel.
