They always say that if you live in your mom's basement, you'll never get the girl.

That might have been true for Eli (David Blue) from "Stargate: Universe," but once you end up traveling to different galaxies, apparently you become a chick magnet.

That's something that Eli experiences in this strange and a bit confusing sneak peek of Friday's all-new episode of "Stargate: Universe." But I'm sure once we watch the episode in its entirety, it will make sense.

So get our your notebooks, fellow geeks, and find out what it takes to pick up a girl.

Don't forget that you can watch "Stargate: Universe" every Friday at 9 p.m. ET on Syfy.
