4 days to the Dark Matter series premiere! Some of the cast and I will be live tweeting the premiere (both east and west coast airings!) on Friday, June 12th at 10 p.m., so get ready!
Let’s start by meeting the crew courtesy of these individual behind-the-scenes featurettes…

A shot from one of my favorite scenes from episode #102. Watch for it!
New sneak peek videos from the gang at Space Channel:
“We can do more. Commit to something.”
“Do you think you can do a better job? Didn’t think so.”
“You’re saying it was me who screwed with everyone’s memories?”
Executive Producer Jay Firestone oversees the action, with 1st A.D. Brandon Tataryn and Executive Producer Paul Mullie.
A friendly reminder from the gang at io9:

Director T. J. Scott on set for episodes #101 and #102.
Director T.J. Scott heads up our read-thru. Roger Cross (Dark Matter’s SIX) is in his default mode: happy! Line Producer Norman Denver, on the other hand, looks like he’s received some troubling news. Hope it’s not budget-related.
The corridor’s colors, texture, and build give it exactly the look I was asking: “Think Nostromo”.
Testing the emergency lighting…
It’s like The Shining meets Alien!

Ack, you know that week before you go on vacation. The anticipation, the longest week you’ve ever had. Yup that would be this week. 4more days! Can’t remember when I have been this excited for a TV show. Thanks Joe for letting us be apart of the show before it has even aired. Quick math 99 more hours to go.
Thanks for all the fun links. Can’t wait!! It is programmed into my DVR and I post a new tease on my Facebook page, beat back the trolls and make the universe safe for Dark Matter daily.
Oooh, I am so ready for this!
I seem to have developed a stress fracture in my foot and have been ordered to sit on my butt as much as possible for the next few weeks. Alrighty, done and done!
This is like the last week leading up to Christmas when you’re still 5 or 6 years old. Santa’s still your main man, you *know* he’s coming and it’s all a question of just seeing it all through. An eternity of anticipation, and yet is the sweetest part. Thanks for the callback to some fond feelings!
Busy day today – after work had to go to a meeting with the bank about the house (everything is fine), and then rush home for a quick rest and to feed the birds, and then off to annual general meeting/dinner for our union at work. That ran a bit late, and I just got home here about 9:30 pm. Whew.
In other news, I found an earwing in my underpants this morning! I should note I was not wearing them at the time.
This is like….The two months before the lead up to the Babylon 5 reunion at Space City Con in Galveston in Jan 2013 where everything magically came together for me to be there. I was bouncing off the walls with anticipation.

4 days! Are you going to be watching?
@GFORCE
I can do you one better. Try taking a sip of water from a bedside cup, half asleep and end up with one of those $#%#$ between your LIPS!!
#EEUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
Been keeping BOTTLED Water on the bedside table ever SINCE!
Space always does have an… interesting way… at promoting shows, that’s for sure lol. No doubt they’ll be talking about the premiere afterwards on InnerSpace.
OK, how about this Joe… Trying to determine its size in comparison with other TV ships eg Is Raza bigger than Starship Enterprise but smaller than Destiny?
I’ll be around for the U.S. Airing…tweeting on @imwebgurl. Anyone going to stay up for the Aussie airing?
Cheers, Maryanne
P.s. Everyone Joe said the official hashtag is #DarkMatter
@gforce & @Ganymede: I had a family of earwigs set up home in a pair of headphones! I had them on and I kept hearing a scratching noise in my left ear. I pulled off the foam cover and found three earwigs in there! It’s almost as if they knew!
Wow! The sets and lighting look incredible!
@Ganymede & Line Noise: Gross.
Joe, are the sets heated in any way?, everyone always have jackets/sweaters on, I imagine the cast are moving alot so maybe don’t need heat. I also imagine I am going to tape this and watch it, because I know there are cool things I will miss. ~~I hope you have found time to relax upon returning to Van. You have worked really hard, so~soon party on, like about Friday about 10pm…!!
I just took a look at the trailer on syfy fantastic!
