Spoiler Alert: Robert Carlyle reveals possible key plot points in the following passages so if you really don’t want to know then don’t read past this sentence.

Heading the cast of the upcoming latest Stargate spinoff, Robert Carlyle was all to keen to give ScifiWire a bit of an inside scoop as to what to expect from the new show. According to Carlyle, his character Nicholas Rush will be getting into some interesting predicaments,

“I was floating in a tank, and that was kind of bizarre in actual fact,” Carlyle said in a group interview last month at Comic-Con in San Diego. “A bunch of aliens actually got me. Of course, Rush is left on a planet, which is what he deserves, and then the aliens come and pick him up and stick him in a tank. So that’s where you suddenly pick me up again, floating in it. So that was quite cool.”

And that’s not all,

“We do all die and then we come back to life,” Carlyle revealed. “It’s a very, very interesting episode written by Robert Cooper called ‘Time.’”

Enough spoilers for ya? If so, leave now. If not you might like the next bit because it’s about Gen. Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson),

“He was lovely,” Carlyle said. “He really was. He was very humble about the whole thing, in fact. I think he also understood, very quickly, that this is a different thing. He said it was a different show from the one that he had been used to, and, of course, Gen. O’Neill comes back. I think that he’s in four or five of the episodes, but you don’t actually need to know who the guy is at all. He’s so solid with his character, and that’s fantastic to act with.”

Thought you’d like that. Look for Stargate Universe to on SyFy on October 2nd at 9 p.m. Be there.
