The audience will find out exactly what it is, and I can guarantee no one is going to guess what the connection is.” (Michael Ausiello)

Sanctuary

We ended with a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of the first season,” Sanctuary’s Amanda Tapping said, “and this first part of this season is really dark. It’s darker and edgier, and we’re dealing with a force that could potentially destroy Sanctuary, so there’s a huge edge to it. I think we’ll see a lot more of the dark, angry side of [my character] Helen Magnus in the first part of the season.” Adds Robin Dunne, “There’s some heavy stuff in the two-hour opener that I think fans are really going to be blown away by. This adhesive that keeps them all together, this belief, gets rattled a little bit.” (Watch With Kristin)

Stargate Universe

Robert Carlyle gives us the Stargate scoop: “In the first three hours [of the first episode] there are three deaths. By episode six, there is a suicide, so people are really struggling up there. Of the first six episodes, the first three are all in one [story] called Air. The next one is called Fire, the next one is called Earth, and the next one is called Water. What makes this different from the previous Stargate franchise pieces is that it’s a lot darker.” (Watch With Kristin)
