Stargate Universe

Behind the scenes of the sci-fi series, as self-proclaimed superfan Nidai interviews the cast and takes a tour of the show's Vancouver set.

Colonel Young is in his quarters going over paper work. The Kino enters and watches him over his shoulder. He notices it's presence and closes his folder. He tells Eli that even though he gave him permission to keep an eye on things he does not have permission to spy on him. He stands up and grabs the Kino.

Eli is talking into the Kino and showing us around the ship. He enters a room he thinks is the Communications Lab but it is actually the Infirmary. He says that they don't know what half of the machines do.

Eli again is showing us the ship and he enters a room that he has no idea what it is. He says he doesn't think he has been in it before.

Eli shows us his favorite room on the ship, the Stargate Room. He says that Rush believes this Stargate is older then all other Stargates and might be a prototype.

Eli shows us his very small sleeping quarters. He says that he hopes it is only temporary because there are more compartments that can't be entered because they are damaged. He says Rush wants them to be fixed but Young wants them to focus on getting home and finding food and water. He says he agrees with Colonel Young and says farewell because he has a calisthenics training session with Greer, who he thinks hates him, in the morning and needs to get some sleep.

The Kino enters the Mess Hall where Scott, Johansen, and Greer are having lunch. Scott says hello and Johansen tells him not to encourage him because he was caught spying on Lt. James. Eli denies it and says that Riley was driving. Greer grabs the Kino and holds it to his face. He warns Eli that if he does it again he will use the Kino to spy on him from the inside.

The Kino turns a corner and zooms in on Scott and Chloe having a conversation but they are too far away for the mic to pick it up.

Eli comes up to a hatch marked with 2 X's. He says that if he opened the hatch he would be sucked out into space.

Eli enters the Shuttle and explains that Destiny has two of them but one is inaccessible. He says he is not supposed to be in it because it is for military personnel only.

Eli is interviewing Chloe in her quarters and asking her personal questions. She tells him that nobody cares what her favorite color is because she is not important. Eli disagrees and tries to cheer her up. She says she is tired and asks him to leave.

Eli and Riley are in the corridor preparing for a Kino race. They start down the corridor and turn the corner and Eli's almost hits Camille.

Lt. James enters the shower room and takes off her shirt. She looks up and sees the Kino hovering near the ceiling. She uses her shirt to cover the Kino.

Becker and Inman are trying to isolate flavorful esters (such as banana flavoring) from chemical impurities in the water from the ice planet in order to make the rations more enjoyable. Becker asks if it is possible to get chocolate but Inman says that it contains over 12,000 chemicals and hasn't been able to be replicated. All of the sudden the ship shakes as if there was an explosion.

Scott enters Chloe's quarters and asks if she is okay. She says she really thought they were going home. Scott says that she must be happy to be going to Earth. She says that seeing her mom that way just makes things harder.

Scott and Volker are helping Riley and Brody put on the space suits. Brody thinks he looks stupid but Scott assures him he looks cool. Riley realizes he has to go to the bathroom and Scott tells him to go in the suit because they are designed for it but Riley refuses. Brody gets his helmet on and tries to walk. He takes one step and falls on his face.

Brody is in his quarters and blaming himself for what happened to Riley but Park tells him he couldn't have done anything. Brody says it is all Telford's fault and Rush is right that he is going to get everyone killed. Park asks him what they should do and he says they should help Rush.

While walking down a corridor, Sgt. Ronald Greer and Lt. Matthew Scott (and possibly the entire ship) hear the intercom come on and the voices of Adam Brody and Lisa Park testing something they just invented. The Kino is on Greer and Scott's faces the entire time. It seems that Park rigged a full duplex interface with the Destiny's communication system and the frequencies got swapped somehow and now everyone can hear their conversation. It seems that they should have tested the thing thoroughly before talking bad about the military personnel, who Brody declares "can't walk without dragging their knuckles" let alone work a simple device. Then Brody notices that a light is on, despite Park claiming that the intercom was off.

Eli Wallace and Lt. Matthew Scott discuss the two Kinos they found from the Jungle planet and the illness they now face.

Eli Wallace is sitting with Lisa Park, Dale Volker and Adam Brody are watching an episode of South Park from Eli's cell phone, and find one scene hilarious. They are then interrupted by Matthew Scott, who notices that it must have been the fiftieth time they seen the same episode. He came in to announce the start of a morning work out Everett Young proposed to keep the crew in shape. Volker notes he only does his running while being chased, but they still have to run. The team hear that Scott can run two miles in 21 minutes for a man his age, probably faster. Eli decides to wager an energy bar, believing he couldn't do it in time. Scott accepts the bet, and starts the run after Park starts the timer. After Scott leaves, the four continue with the watching South Park, laughing at another scene.

Walking down a corridor aboard Destiny followed closely by a Kino, Ronald Greer hears crying. He pauses and motions for the Kino to turn right. In a room around the corner, Dr. Lisa Park is pacing and muttering to herself about being stupid. Greer indicates for the Kino to remain in the hallway as he approaches Park. He wonders if she is okay, and asks her if Dr. Rush is giving her a hard time. She nods yes, and Greer responds by offering to "bust him up". The two laugh.

Eli Wallace introduces the Destiny's Control interface hub. He calls it "apple core" but this name displeases Adam Brody who demands to call it control interface. Brody tries to get support from Lisa Park and Dale Volker but they also call it "Apple core".

Dr. Lisa Park records a video diary about her time on Destiny and mentions here friends and family. However, she is interrupted and proceeds to have sex with an apparently close male friend.

Eli interviews Airman Kelly, while her consciousness is in Chloe's body, about why she volunteered to use the communication stones.

Dr. Brody attempts to take revenge on Sgt. Riley by playing a prank on him.

Scott tells Greer to be sometimes less formal. After that they chat a bit.

TJ and Dr. Park discuss Rush's relationship with Dr. Perry.

Eli makes another tour through the ship and comes to Chloe Armstrong's room.

Adam Brody secretly share a cigarette with sergeant Spencer.

Eli asks everyone what their "favorite meal of all time" is.

Hunter Riley records his diary entry.

Director Ivon Bartok gives a behind the scenes look at filming the web-only Kino scenes.

Lt. James talks about keeping time on the Destiny. Camile wishes James a happy birthday.

Sgt. Riley uses the Kino to check up on Eli in the infirmary.

Brody, Park, Morrison, Sgt. Riley and Eli recount their most emotionally painful moments in life.

Lt. James documents all the stages she's gone through while aboard the Destiny.

The previously unknown purpose of the ninth chevron is revealed, and ends up taking a team to the Ancient ship Destiny, a ship built millions of years ago by the Ancients, used to seed distant galaxies with Stargates. This team, led by Dr. Nicholas Rush and Colonel Everett Young, are trapped on the ship, unable to alter its pre-programmed mission, and encounter new races, new technology, and new enemies as the runaway ship takes them to the far ends of the universe. This extended version (included on the blu-ray release of Season 1) includes 12 minutes of never before seen footage from the first 3 episodes (Air). A limited edition DVD was also sold along with an exclusive collector's tin.
