Wow, I can't wait for the new seasons to begin.
The new season, which consists of 20 episodes, will feature Robert Picardo (Richard Woolsey) as he assumes command of the Atlantis expedition. Unwilling to step into Colonel Samantha Carter's shoes, Woolsey must struggle with new responsibilities and find his way among the crew, who in turn must adjust to his distinct leadership style. Also returning this season on
Stargate Atlantis is fan favorite
Paul McGillion, who will reprise his role as Dr. Carson Beckett for five episodes.
Eureka, on the other hand, will start airing new episodes from the third season on July 29 at 9pm. The series about a small town with big secrets will resume with Jack Carter (
Colin Ferguson) as Eureka's sheriff. While the new season shows Jack as he explores the happenings at the top secret research facility Global Dynamics, it will also continue to explore the intertwined personal relationships of Eureka's colorful and quirky residents. Arriving this season is Eva Thorne, also known as “The Fixer,” whose task is to clean up Global Dynamics.
