Now that Eureka is back to deliver my weekly feel good sci-fi fix, I'm eagerly anticipating the death and darkness promised by the producers of the upcoming Stargate Universe. The wait will be over October 2 when the series premieres with a two-hour episode on Syfy.

Tentatively titled "Air," the premiere will follow a research team that gets cut off from Earth after boarding an Ancient ship with failing life support and a steampunk Stargate. The premiere will feature appearances by franchise vets Richard Dean Anderson and Michal Shanks and will, of course, introduce us to the new crew, including Robert Carlyle, David Blue and Lou Diamond Phillips. (Does anyone else out there have the feeling that LDP is gonna bite it, Robert Patrick style, in the premiere?)

Syfy also announced fall premiere dates for returning shows, including Sanctuary and Destination Truth. Check out the schedule:

Destination Truth – Season 3 Premieres September 9, @ 9 PM
Sanctuary – Season 2 Premieres Friday, October 9 @ 10 PM
Scare Tactics – Season 3 Episodes Return Tuesday, October 6 @ 9 PM
Ghost Hunters – All-New Episodes Throughout the Fall – Wednesdays @ 9 PM
Warehouse 13 – All-New Episodes Throughout September - Tuesdays @ 9 PM
