The first episode of "Stargate Universe" debuted on the Syfy channel on Friday, and Stargate Worlds just happened to make a cameo appearance. The MMO itself was not mentioned by name, but in-game footage of Stargate Worlds was used as the game that Eli Wallace plays in the beginning of the episode.

The full episode, "Air," is now available for viewing on the Syfy Web site. The in-game footage of the MMO can be seen around seven minutes into the episode. You can also watch David Blue, the actor who plays Eli, discuss the character's gaming habits in this series of interviews with the "Stargate Universe" cast.

The announcement of Stargate World's brief appearance in "Stargate Universe" was the first bit of news to be published on the game's official Web site since May 26. The post states that the SWG team will "have much more to show very soon."
