In Universe’s first season two-part cliffhanger finale Incursion, TJ was among those taken hostage when the Lucian Alliance boarded Destiny. It was a tension-filled time for the lieutenant, who was also pregnant, as was Huffman in real life, but happily for the actress, she enjoyed the experience far more than her TV alter ego.

“We started out the first season with [producer] Andy Mikita [who directed Universe’s three-part opener, Air], ended the season with Andy, and had a few of Andy’s episodes in-between, so that was great,” recalls Huffman. “He knows Stargate extremely well, so to have him in control of this big finale was reassuring.

“For me, because TJ was being held captive by the Lucian Alliance, I really didn’t work with my fellow cast mates, but, instead, the actors who were playing members of the Lucian Alliance.
