“Stargate: Atlantis” & More this Week on SCI FI Channel

This Friday, July 11 is the big return of the People’s Choice Award winning show “Stargate: Atlantis” on the SCI FI Channel with its new Command leader, Richard Woolsey (Robert Picardo). Just before season five of Atlantis is an all-new episode of “Doctor Who” titled ‘Midnight.” The Doctor (David Tennant) is trapped and only a woman called Sky seems to know the truth as to why — but as paranoia turns into a witch hunt, Sky turns the Doctor’s greatest strengths against him, and a sacrifice must be made.

Also on tap on SCI FI this week is the following:

“Scare Tactics” returns on Wednesday July 9 at 10/9C. It’s the show where the contestants try to induce fright-related heart failure. Host Tracy Morgan’s freaky too!

JEREMIAH Is Back!

Fifteen years ago, adulthood proved fatal for humankind. A virulent virus burned through the race, claiming everyone who’d already survived another wrenching medical condition: puberty.

Jeremiah, played by Luke Perry, was a child when The Big Death came. He lives in a crumbling world that could be humanity’s tombstone or its next incarnation. As it happens, Markus Alexander, played by Peter Stebbings, leads a group in Thunder Mountain that wants to resurrect society.

Jeremiah runs into the Thunder Mountain clan while looking for the Valhalla Sector, a place that his father said holds secrets necessary for survival. Eventually, he and his friend Kurdy Malloy, played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, join with Alexander.

But with their new mission comes surprises. There’s Ezekiel, who tells Jeremiah about things that have yet to happen to him. And Meaghan, the oldest person known alive, and a carrier of The Big Death. Perhaps more surprising, at least to Jeremiah, is the fate his father met as grownups grew extinct.
