Huzzah! Looks like we’re making a t.v. show after all! Today, after a morning spent writing and perusing potential casting options, I attended my very first concept meeting of this young season. Well, okay, it was more of a pre-concept meeting. In attendance were all of the department heads, line producer Norman Denver, Executive Producer Vanessa Piazza, and joining us via conference from rainy Vancouver, EP Paul Mullie. 1st Assistant Director Brandon Tataryn (Tataryn’s Disease: A disorder common on planets where Serillium is mined, a result of the run-off from refineries leaching into the water supply. In its advanced state, the disease causes rapid decline in specific neurological motor function related to autonomic life-support. There’s no known cure. How’s that for a coincidence!) oversaw the action. Topics of discussion included smoke blasts, lasers, black lights, force fields, tablets, shivs, prison gruel, and the sim yard.

That sounds like an incredibly fun process. Look forward to seeing the results.
Ahhhh, pre-production!!! Sounds like so much fun!!! Would love to sit in on that (and escape my schooling at the moment!!)
I wonder what the discussion on lasers was about… laser turrets on the exteriors of the ships… finally? Maybe? Hopefully?
Love the wall of concept art & drawings! Excited for the new season! Wish there was a teaser/one shot to hold us over…well, there’s always Season 1.
Are you sure Brandon didn’t name himself after that disease? Joe you could be a disease. The Mallozzi Virus. A space born contagious but treatable germ that mutates in your nervous system causing paranoia and irrational delusions that your bones are broken or hallucinations giving you symptoms of injured lungs, weakening eyesight, and other unsubstantiated mysterious aches and pains. 🙂 There you go.
Look at that Wall of Art!!! Like a gallery! Awesome!!
@PONYTAIL
How about MALLOZZIITIS..?
A food-borne bacteria found in under-nuked space station food court ready-made-meals which causes its victims to appear FRUMPY when in close proximity to reflective surfaces.
:-}
@ Ganymede – “Mallozziitis” Sounds like a good one!
Mallozzitoid (Occurs when a producer sits too long writing scripts)
Mallozziysm (When you start acting like Joe. Seek help!)
Mallozzirophic (When you don’t know what is wrong)
Mallozzigitis (Something that comes on suddenly)
Joe we’re trying to help you here with more diseases for Dark Matter.
So much work goes into a show! Thanks for giving us a glimpse.
@Ponytail: 😀
Wooohooo! First season 2 concept meeting!
With all this emphasis on the cells, prison, etc… will our heroes break free and get back onto the Raza before S2 ends?
Seriously wonderful art gallery!!

Topics for discussion – wow! all that in one meeting 👍
That wall of concept art is pretty awesome!
Whenever you get the time for anime Joe, check out One Punch Man. It’s crazy over the top fun, and is set in a world of heroes and bad guys. As you love comic books, you may love this show.
@will our heroes break free and get back onto the Raza before S2 ends?
Hopefully it’ll be a good 3-5 episodes before the breakout.
Well I’m excited!
