《星际之门：宇宙（Stargate Universe）》的设定是人类在成功揭开星际之门第九个符号的秘密之后，一组探险队员被传送到荒废已久的古人飞船 "命运号" 上。这艘飞船是古人在其文明达到顶峰的时候建造的，它是古人的一次重大实验，承载着一项重要任遗憾的是，这个实验始终未能完成。 探险队员很快发现他们被困在了 "命运号" 上，无法通过原路返回地球。他们只有登上 "命运号"，向未知的宇宙深处出发。一路上，船员们将与古人先前向宇宙发射的星际之门一一取得联系，实现 "命运号" 最初的任务。这些星际之门在 "命运号" 被建造之前几个世纪就已被安放好了，"命运号" 能与其航向同步的时间窗口很短。一旦错过了其中一个，回头再找已经很困难了。此外，"命运号" 在旅途中还将遇到无数新的种族、敌人和奇闻趣事。
本剧围绕15年前震惊全日本、却突然销声匿迹的连环杀人犯“蝙蝠”展开的作品。此人神出鬼没，受害者之间毫无关联，且无论运用何种犯罪侧写手法，都无法确定其年龄、性别甚至体格。在所有作案现场，遗体旁都撒有“黑色花瓣”，但凶手的真实身份和作案动机始终不明，案件最终成为悬案。临床心理师安堂枫是“蝙蝠”杀害其父母的受害者遗属之一，她本人也曾被囚禁在黑暗中长达半年。另一方面，她无血缘关系的弟弟奥泽雪路的父亲也被“蝙蝠”所杀，他怀着将凶手绳之以法的强烈愿望，成为一名刑警，奔赴侦查最前线。就在此时，时隔15年，“蝙蝠”的杀人案再次发生。
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
