Well, today marked our final day on Episode 202 and we were back on the Raza for a little trip down memory lane via some carefully orchestrated flashbacks.  It was home sweet home…for as long as it lasted.

Today’s blog entry is dedicated to “Cowboy” Bruce McDonald who did a hell of a job directing our most ambitious episode to date – while showing us all a hell of a good time!

Thanks, Bruce!  Until we meet again…

In about three weeks when you come back to direct Episode 206!

  1. Matt Pretty has a really cool cat t-shirt! 😛

    Bruce McDonald don’t go, don’t go! 🙁 Wait.., he’s coming back?… well okay then. Awesome!! 😆

    @ Tam Dixon – So sorry to hear about your Ruby. I was hoping and praying for you both.

  2. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/1506917_10152691810286549_1166908531_n.jpg?oh=52a8ce9fd73fe45eb47b3011cb5ff541&oe=573EF1F0

    Not sure if this link will work but here’s another one for Cat Shirt Thursday, and yes, lol, I still have a few more to sell 😉 The “original” Silver Panther is my mother’s cat Saphire (aka “Saffy”) and though I cannot find it, I got a perfect profile shot of her watching the original “Star Wars” on my (now stolen) laptop, and I made the design based on her own little melon-head, lol. Saffy LOVES all the rebel scenes, and hates all the Vader ones, so it seemed appropriate to name the rebels in my webseries after her!

  3. Matt’s shirt really says something. A cornucopia of cats. I am intrigued by Nicola and Alyssa’s shirts because I believe they show the clandestine power of cats. I hope to see the results of Bruce’s work in the awfully too distant future. But Joe, you are being a rascal, as you are keeping secret the names of those special guest stars too well.

  4. Do cat earrings count? Love the shirts. Loving forward to seeing this ambitious episode! And loving forward to ep 206 to see what he has in store for that episode.

    I’d imagine being in a “prison” for crimes you don’t remember might be a little difficult. Especially during interrogation time…there’s only so many ways you can say I don’t remember….

  5. With Gforce having to endure bouts of insomnia, Maggie recovering from major surgery, Ponytail going through the stress of an aging, ailing, parent , The world losing both David Bowie & Alan Rickman in the same week and Tam suffering more heartbreak of late than any human should ever have to
    I thought we could ‘all’ use a good giggle right about now.

    One of the mit post doc cands who so graciously offered himself up for 2 full volunteer rotations on our ed team last yr, gifted me these today:

    Joe, this one’s for you! . xo

    And this one’s for all you R2D2, 3CPO, Chewy & Skywalker fans out there!
    This one really cracked me up!!! xo

  6. You have a varied and interesting clowder of cat t-shirts there (can I say that?). Who or what started this tradition and why Thursdays?
    Don’t you also have a tradition of snazzy sock shots too?

    Oooo …. back on the Raza! ….. flashbacks (I like this!) …. for as long as it lasted???? Wha?… but … why … nooooo!

  7. Hi everyone

    I like Jayson’s t-shirt best… Nice colouring. Joe, I think Ivon and yourself should get these t-shirts Schrodinger’s Zombie Cat.

    Joe, what’s the difference between Consulting Producer and Creative Consultant? Does Ivon do more script consulting this season?

    Producer titles confuse me.

    End of a tiring week for me. I can barely keep my eyes open…. Goodnight everyone.

    Cheers, Chev

  8. A big Thank You to Airelle, Denise McInerney, KathyC, Maggie L80, Ponytail and baterista9 for all your condolences/well wishes/hugs. I hope I didn’t miss anyone. I’m truly sorry if I did! I’m getting through it but I having a bad case of the “What if’s”. Ruby was the healthy one. I never expected this and should have noticed something was wrong sooner. Honestly, she could be such a pain in the ass, when she wasn’t acting up that week, I was kind of relieved at first. Might have ended up the same way but still.

    Terrible about Alan Rickman! He was fantastic as Snape. The way he’d draw out his words and use his eyes to show distain were classic. I can’t say I’m loving 2016 yet.

    Ponytail: How are your parents? Will your dad get to go home soon?

    Anyone ever traveled to Istanbul? One of my oldest and dearest friend’s is heading there this weekend. After the terrorist attack earlier this week, I think she’s crazy but there’s no talking her out of it. I’ve heard Istanbul is a beautiful city but still. She thinks the attack means there won’t be any more incidents there for a while. Not sure about her logic. Even her cousin in military intelligence informed her that wasn’t true but she can be a force of nature. If anyone out there has a prayer list, my friend could sure use a mention (thanks in advance).

    Binge watching S1 here. Keeps my mind off things and it’s so much nicer without commercials. Looking forward to S2!

  9. Drea, those vids are brilliant, just brilliant! I laughed so much I cried 😂 Thanks!!

  10. @no1zoiepalmerfan – how adorable would Three be in a cat tee shirt? New contest: would Three or Four be more adorable in a cat tee? Extra points for battling baddies while wearing cat tee.

    All I can say to Jayson is “Bring Kitty Home.”
