Two new videos are online now, delivering a glimpse into the latest Stargate sequel. They include clips from the show, plus soundbites from the cast.

And it seems like the show will have a view tone from previous Stargate incarnations. Slightly darker and more earnest, very much about the survival of the human will a long way from home, trust issues with an enemy working against them from the inside, a slightly reportage approach to the camera work, “a story about hope and faith” as one of the stars puts it.

So, basically, like Battlestar Galactica.

Tell us what you think.

I’m eagerly anticipating Zachary Quinto’s return to Heroes as Sylar after watching Star Trek. Now, producer Tim Kring is getting my hopes up for the show’s fourth season, which he says will explore some classic and intriguing superhero themes.

Kring recently revealed some details about the show’s upcoming plots and themes in his latest “Heroes All Access” newsletter. We have the scoop on what Claire, Peter, Nathan/Sylar and HRG will be up to when the show returns to NBC in the fall.

Kring writes “One of the big issues we’ll be exploring is how should a person with abilities live his or her life. Should they try to assimilate by hiding their abilities, or should they live more honestly, exposing their powers to the world?”

Mark Sheppard, who is well known to sci-fi fans for roles in Firefly and Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that he shot a quick-turnaround guest appearance on SCI FI’s upcoming original series Warehouse 13.

“A while back, I got a lovely call from my friends at SCI FI, nine and a half pages of dialogue, to do in a day,” Sheppard said in an exclusive interview Wednesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, where he was promoting The Conduit, in which he does a voice. “I was actually out doing publicity for The Conduit on the East Coast. And they called and said, ‘Can you go to Toronto to rehearse on Sunday to shoot on Monday?’ I’m like, ‘I’m in New York. It’s not that hard.’ So it was perfect.”

In the show, two Secret Service agents (Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly) find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13, a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government.
