\nThe stranded attend a lottery (image from MGM)<\/em><\/p>\n

“Light”<\/a>, picks up where last week’s “Darkness” left off: with the Destiny<\/em> apparently on a collision course with a star. There were three planets nearby that the stranded crew thought might be inhabitable, but without power, they’ll have to rely on the Ancient shuttle to reach one, rather than use the power-hogging Stargate.<\/p>\n

But this solution presents a very serious problem: the shuttle can only accommodate a certain number of people. Who chooses?<\/p>\n

According to TV Guide, the one to select the crew will be Chance: “With the Destiny<\/em> on a collision course with a star, the crew considers abandoning the ship. A grim lottery is held to choose 17 passengers to escape in the Destiny<\/em>‘s only working shuttle.”<\/p>\n

If things were pretty bad among the fractured crew before… <\/p>\n

“Light” will be shown tonight, October 23, on the Syfy Channel (US) and Space (Canada) at 9 PM ET and 10 PM ET, respectively. The episode will be broadcast by Sky One (UK) on Tuesday, October 27, at 8 PM, and finally, on Friday, October 30, on the Sci Fi Channel (Australia) at 8:30 PM.<\/p>\n

Last Week’s “Darkness” Ratings<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

Last week’s episode, “Darkness”<\/a>, showed a slight decrease in the ratings from the week before, but still managed to be Syfy’s second-watched show of the week, according to TV By The Numbers<\/a>. The episode’s “Live + SD” (Live Plus Same Day) number was 2.099 million, which was down from 2.447 million from the week before.<\/p>\n

SGU actor Brian J. Smith commented on his Twitter<\/a>, “Wow, a 1.6 on a baseball friday? 2nd place ratings slot for SyFy? It’s awesome, you guys. Sorry, can’t put a negative spin on it folks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
