SPOILER ALERT!! – A derailed attempt by the Lucian Alliance to seize control of Destiny culminates in hostages and casualties on both sides.

SPOILER ALERT!! – The Destiny is still without power and an attempt to alter its collision course with a star has failed. The situation is now critical. A plan is born to abandon ship using the last working shuttle, with the hope that one of the three planets in close proximity will be habitable. Although this strategy initially raises the crew’s spirits, it is short-lived when Colonel Young (Louis Ferreira) announces there is only room for 17 people, and a lottery will determine who goes and who stays. Stunned by the implication of this news, everyone considers their fate. Some, including Dr. Rush (Robert Carlyle) and Colonel Young, opt to stay onboard. Others, determined to survive, vie for a seat on the departing shuttlecraft.

SPOILER ALERT!! – With the air supply failing on the Destiny, a team gates to a desert-like planet in Air: Part 2 to search for the mineral needed to scrub the ship’s air of carbon dioxide. After testing numerous sand samples without success, and with their window of opportunity closing fast, the group opts to split into two to cover more ground, despite the unbearable heat. While one team presses on to find the treasured mineral, the other has another goal in mind. When it is apparent that Dr. Rush (Robert Carlyle) can’t go on, Lt. Scott (Brian J. Smith) decides to go it alone and orders Sergeant Greer (Jamil Walker Smith) to return to safety with the exhausted scientist.

Ronald Greer), Ming-Na (Camille Wray), Louis Ferreira (Colonel Everett Young), Elyse Levesque (Chloe Armstrong), Robert Carlyle (Dr. Nicholas Rush), Brian J, Smith (Lt. Matthew Scott), Alaina Huffman (Lt. Tamara Johansen), David Blue (Eli Wallace) and Lou Diamond Phillips (Colonel Telford). Photo copyright of The Syfy Channel
SPOILER ALERT!! – In Air: Part 1, Senator Armstrong (Christopher McDonald), his assistant and daughter Chloe (Elyse Levesque) and Eli Wallace (David Blue), a recently recruited gaming genius, are on an official visit to Icarus, a secret off-world military base, when the facility falls under attack by the Lucien Alliance, leaving Colonel Everett Young (Louis Ferreira) with no choice but to retreat. He orders an evacuation to Earth. However, a last minute maneuver by scientist Dr. Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle) thrusts the escapees headlong into his experiment, which transports everyone to deep space.
The survivors arrive on an uninhabited ship floating billions of light years away from Earth. Panic spreads throughout the group and Colonel Young, who was severely injured during the escape, transfers command to Lt. Matthew Scott (Brian J. Smith), before lapsing into unconsciousness. Teams led by Dr Rush and Sergeant Greer (Jamil Walker Smith)try to make sense of the situation, while Lt. Tamara Johansen (Alaina Huffman), a medic who was days away from leaving the program, is thrust into the role of chief medical officer.
After secretly contacting the Home World Command using communications stones – an Ancients device which allows the swapping of consciousness between bodies across vast distances – Dr. Rush claims that he has been placed in charge by General Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and there is no hope of returning to Earth. When the ship’s air supply systems begin to fail, his theories are challenged by Eli. As the crisis deepens, divisions emerge between those who want to attempt a return to Earth, including human resources executive Camille Wray (Ming-Na), and those who want to remain aboard the Destiny. The 2-hour Air: Part 1 also guest-stars Amanda Tapping (Colonel Samantha Carter), Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) and Gary Jones (Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman) and premieres Friday, October 2nd @ 9 p.m. EST on The Syfy Channel.
