Well, I'm back in Toronto. Now what? Our departure from Vancouver was bittersweet but otherwise uneventful. We woke up at 4:15 a.m., did one final sweep of the house, left a note for the new owners along with a nice box of chocolates, then caught a cab and the 7:25 a.m. flight out of town.…
August 30, 3017: Farewell, Vancouver!
Well, that's a wrap on Vancouver after 18 great years. I came for the Stargate but stayed for, well, the Stargate, but eventually stuck around because it became home.

So, what awaits us in the Dark Matter season finale? Well, judging from the episodic stills, I'd say...quite a lot: The Mikkei Combine's Commander Truffault is back - and onboard The Raza. THREE is looking....concerned? Dubious? The questions isn't so much "What's Wexler doing on the bridge?" but "Who, exactly, is that with Wexler on…

August 21, 2017: Thanks for making Dark Matter SYFY’s #1 Most-Watched Scripted Show of the Week!

August 18, 2017: Dark Matter and Stargate – the parallels!
Viewers tune in for the hook, but they stay for the characters. It's a lesson I learned working on Stargate. As much as fans enjoy the sense of adventure, the action, and the dazzling visual effects, it's the characters at the heart of each show that draw them back, week after week. Whether it's SG-1, the…
