It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast this week and Chris and Joe are ready for action. Speaking of action, this week’s topics include all sort of action from some of the boy’s favorite new TV shows.
Of course, that means the Joss Whedon/Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Blacklist, Sleepy Hollow, Arrow, the return of The Walking Dead and a whole lot more. They go a little deeper into these shows and what makes them good, and what they could improve. Plus, the aforementioned “more.” That’s right, a lot more.
Picks this week include Joe’s pick of the new book, A Matter of Time by Rich Handley, which is all about the Back to the Future franchise, and Chris’ pick of some awesome paper products from the folks at Doane Paper and also a great pen from Uni-Ball called the Jetstream. Yes, he still likes to write things by hand, with a pen, in a notebook. So?
As always, if you have comments, questions, critiques, offers of sponsorship or whatever, feel free to hit us up in the comments, on Twitter, at Facebook, Google+ or via email.

Stargate Universe returns this evening on a new night but, luckily, at the same time so it isn’t completely confusing to fans. This season promises the return of more action , adventure, drama and romance for the crew of the Destiny.
In the promo for tonight’s season premiere, we see the crew is in trouble again as control of the Destiny hangs in the balance as the battle continues between the crew and the Lucian Alliance. Lives are in the balance as well as the crew’s hope of ever getting home.
Who will win and what will happen? You’ll just have to watch to find out.
Check out the preview for tonight’s episode “Intervention” after the jump. Stargate Universe returns tonight at 9/8C on Syfy. Any predictions for this new season? If so, hit us up in the comments.

It’s nice that an entire network has decided to devote itself to the pursuit of Sci-Fi movies and TV programs. After all, before Syfy (previously known as Sci-Fi) we geeks had to seek our reruns of Star Trek and monster of the week movies elsewhere. Believe me, it was no easy task.
And finding anywhere that was running not one or two but several Sci-Fi TV series at the same time, forget about it. Fortunately, the Sci-Fi Channel changed all that and now, re-branded as just Syfy, they continue to push the envelope and bring us even more compelling content each and every year.
With that in mind we’ve got a new promo for you today highlighting all the upcoming Fall shows new or returning to Syfy. Among them you’ll see fan favorites Caprica, Sanctuary, Ghost Hunters and Stargate: Universe and some new shows you’ve probably not heard about yet.
Check out the promo after the jump. Syfy will start airing these new and returning programs in the Fall. In other words, pretty darn soon. Enjoy.

During a Q&A session for Stargate Universe, actress Ming Na opened up about playing recurring character Camille Wray on the popular Syfy series. The actress was quite candid about her hesitations about taking on the role, advocating for a character that had depth beyond the obvious sex appeal.
“I had a small amount of hesitation because I wasn’t sure how they were going to write the character and what would come out of that particular character choice. But, after speaking with (creators) Robert Cooper and Brad Wright, I felt very comfortable that they were going to really give a great deal of respect and thought and it wasn’t just going to be eye candy with these two girls, you know, getting it on!”
Speaking of which, next season will feature more development between Camille and Sharon, her lover on Earth, and how the two of them handle being apart for so long.
“Yes, it gets a lot more complicated because there has been a lot of stress in their relationship, as with any long distance relationship, and this is a REALLY long distance relationship, you know, there’s a lot more tension built up now, even with a solid relationship like theirs, so it will be interesting.”

It’s Friday after a holiday weekend last week and that means we’re back with brand new episodes of Stargate Universe and Merlin on Syfy. And, as we do each week that new episoees come out, we’ve got previews for tonight’s show for you right here.
First up on Stargate Universe, those pesky Lucian Alliance foks force Dr. Rush to help stage an assult on the Destiny. Which, if you’ve been following the show so far, he really doesn’t want to do but probably has no choice. Or, so it would seem.
Next on Merlin, the boy wizard has a friendship with a young Druid that could endanger all of Camelot. You know those Druids, it’s always something with them.
Check out both previews after the jump. Stargate Universe airs tonight at 9/8C followed by Merlin at 10/9C only on Syfy.

Happy Friday. To celebrate this momentous event we bring you more previews for Syfy’s shows Stargate Universe and Merlin, which both have brand new episodes tonight.
First off, we take a look at Stargate Universe. In this clip the Destiny crew must help expose a mole inside Homeworld Command before its too late. Yes, moles are never a good thing, no matter where they appear.
Next up on Merlin, a mysterious warrior’s arrival sends Arthur on a quest that could change his life. Along the way he learns more about his father and more about what happened to his mother. Needless to say, this changes the King forever.
Check out both previews after the jump. Stargate Universe airs tonight at 9/8C followed by Merlin at 10/9C only on Syfy.

As we do most Fridays, we’ve got previews for two of Syfy’s shows for you again this week. Both Merlin and Stargate Universe offer action, suspense, romance and drama each week and if you haven’t checked them out yet, you may want to give them a chance.
Starting off with Stargate Universe, the crew is really in trouble this week when their ship, the aptly named Destiny, starts to lose power. If her power fails completely, they could be adrift in space. . . forever. That’s not something you want to happen because, as you know, it’s cold in space and no one can hear you scream. Sorry, that’s from another show. Anyway. . .
Next up on Merlin, the boy wizard must reveal Catrina’s true and evil form before she destroys the kingdom. Jeez, it’s always something with these boy wizards, isn’t it? All the action begins at 9/8C with Stargate Universe followed at 10/9C by Merlin, only on Syfy. Check out both previews after the jump.

Will his newfound ability save the crew or destroy his mind? Next up on Merlin, Arthur faces a rival in rescuing Gwen and its not exacly who you would expect.
The fun starts tomorrow on Syfy at 9/8C with Stargate Universe followed at 10/9C by Merlin. Until then, check out the previews after the jump.

Next on Merlin, Morgana’s emerging power leads Merlin to make a difficult choice. What will he choose and how will he face the consequences? That would be telling and we don’t want to spoil the surprise.

With both Stargate Universe and Merlin back on Friday night’s Syfy schedule, we’re going to be able to keep bringing you new preview clips for these shows each and every week. This week is no exception and we’ve got two previews for you this time around, courtesy of Syfy.
Beginning with Stargate Universe, this preview clip features Young and Scott as they search for a tracking device while division in the crew grows. And believe me, having been in space so many times, division is not something you want.
Next up is Merlin. In today’s preview clip Arthur’s entry into a tournament puts more than his life on the line. Seeing as he’s the king, that’s probably not a great idea. Check out all the action starting with Stargate Universe at 9/8C followed by Merlin at 10/9C on Syfy. Check out the previews after, as always, the jump.
