It’s Finale Time for Team Destiny

Syfy’s Friday-night lineup is about to undergo some changes after Stargate Universe presents its first-season finale on June 11, followed by a fresh episode of Merlin.

Stargate Universe closes its successful rookie run at 9pm ET with the second part and conclusion of the previous episode “Incursion.” The Lucian Alliance’s failure to take control of Destiny leads to a hostage situation just as the vessel begins to malfunction because of its dangerous closeness to something called a binary pulsar.

Next at 10pm, Merlin presents “Sweet Dreams.” When Camelot serves as the setting for a so-called peace conference, one king in attendance tries to start trouble between Uther and another king named Olaf by casting a spell on Arthur to make him get the hots for Olaf’s daughter. I hope I’m not the only person who finds that funny.

Preview Stargate Universe‘s season finale and Merlin‘s new episode below. The United Kingdom import will remain in its 10pm time slot on Fridays following June 11 for the remaining three episodes in its sophomore season.

And to make this Friday even sweeter, Syfy will feature a well-timed all-day, 13-episode marathon of the later part of Stargate Universe‘s first season from 8am to the finale’s premiere at 9pm. How thoughtful and very much appreciated.
