Circle the date and tell your Dark Matter and Stargate-loving fans. We'll be meeting up on twitter to talk about a few of our favorite shows. If you have questions about DM, SG-1, SGA, or SGU, I'll be online fielding them for the better part of an hour. What Stargate cast-member binge-watched almost 200 episodes…
November 29, 2017: Awesome Comic Book Covers – Week of November 27th, 2017!
In what has become a weekly Wednesday tradition, here are my favorite comic book covers of this week's newest releases: Batman: Creature of the Night #1 (cover art by John Paul Leon) At the heart of the Batman story is Bruce Wayne, an orphan forever driven by the deaths of his parents and this cover…
November 28, 2017: My Snow Monkeys are playoff-bound!
I think we can all agree that, amidst all this talk about Hollywood and television production and the pitching of various projects, we often lose sight of what's truly important: fantasy football. Well, I'm pleased to report that following twelve hard-fought weeks in which I lost my #1 draft pick to season-ending injury, had to…
November 27, 2017: Teaming up again with amazing Vanessa Piazza!
Over the course of my three years show running Dark Matter, I've given shout-outs to the various individuals whose talent and commitment to their craft made it all possible. I've referenced the cast, the crew, and the post-production personnel who made coming to work every day such a delight. Chiefest among them was Vanessa Piazza -…
November 26, 2017: My cold weather dog!
Winter is almost upon us and, while it's almost impossible to coax my french bulldog, Lulu, outdoors at the mere sight of snow, our senior pug, Suji, loves the frisky weather. I don't know what it is - maybe the fact that she was, literally, raised in a barn - but she seems impervious to…
November 26, 2017: Happy Dark Matter Family Day!
Apparently, it's Dark Matter Family Day on twitter, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say hello and thanks to our extended Dark Matter family - cast, crew, production personnel, and fans. While others may conspire to keep us apart, it's nice to see the familiar spirit that was the heart of the show…
November 24, 2017: Following your lead!
One of the nice things about not being in production (thanks again, Syfy) is the free time I now have to read, hang with the dogs and, of course, catch up on movies. There are a bunch of new releases I'm considering checking out, but I'm...unconvinced. So, please convince me - one way or the…
November 23, 2017: This ‘n That!
Quick, get in! Next stop = Slumber Land! Hey, if you're thinking of making our dogs new outfits, Akemi offers up the following doggy measurements. I think she does a fairly good job of capturing Suji's trademark wide-eyed wonder, and Lulu's general furtiveness. Who feels like kaka for dinner? Pardon me? Happened across this sign…
November 22, 2017: Awesome Comic Book Covers – Week of November 20th, 2017!
Another Wednesday brings us another vast selection of great comic books to discover and, with it, a slew of fantastic comic book covers worth noting. These were my favorites - Black Panther #167 (cover art by Brian Stelfreeze) The Klaw's sonic emitter offers a simultaneous yet alternating glimpse at both the murderous master of sound…
November 21, 2017: Projects! Books! Robots!
Recently, much of my days are spent reading, writing, and in creative discussions over the phone, via email, or while enjoying double chocolate mochas. Again, the plan was to take time off, travel, catch a bunch of matinees, but the opportunities that have presented themselves have proven too intriguing to pass up. Besides, in this…
November 20, 2017: Knock Knock!
In the almost eight years she's been living in Canada, Akemi has mastered many aspects of western culture - its unreliable transportation system, the English language, Beef Wellington - but there's one uniquely North American oddity she's yet to grasp: the knock-knock joke. And yet, despite her repeated failures to fully grasp its nuanced set-up…
November 19, 2017: More pics from the Dark Matter vault!

November 18, 2017: Dark Matter – behind the scenes!
Some behind the scenes photos from the set of Dark Matter's third season, compliments of Mean Jean Brophey: Jean and Anthony from the pilot episode for their buddy cop show. Downtown at the Ishida Palace. Our kooky emperor. Mmmmm. What's cooking? Director J.B. Sugar's red carpet walk. Grant Boyle in the infirmary for his annual check-up.…
November 17, 2017: Busy, but never too busy for tapas!
While I may not be as busy as I was while Dark Matter was in production, I find myself surprisingly busy for someone without a show to run. Most of my days are spent reading comic books and reviewing anime...for work! In addition, I've got a little over a half dozen "things" percolating, from being…
November 16, 2017: Suji and shout-outs!
Ideally, I'd like my next show to be either an anime, comic book, novel adaptation - or one featuring dogs in pajamas. Akemi, meanwhile, has been hard at work designing for her upcoming Suji-themed lapel pin and badge line. A few shout-outs are in order today: Marc Bendavid, Dark Matter's ONE, stars in a…
