Fromt he Stargate vault... We had the most beautiful sets on Stargate: Universe.  Pictured above, the interior alien vessel from "Space" c/o Production Designer James Robbins and our amazing departments (art, construction, paint, lighting, etc.) Director Andy Mikita talks shop with actor Louis Ferreira (Stargate Universe - "Space"). Our resident (motion capture) alien chilling between…

I woke up this morning with a dark sense of foreboding, I assumed, logically, as a result of some unremembered nightmare I'd had the night before.  But, as it turns out, it was prescience.  I turned on my laptop and brought up the overview I've been working on - only to discover the work I'd…

Hey, have you noticed how those financial gurus on youtube all dress like they shop at Goodwill?  Would you take investment advice from someone who looks like your uncle from his vacation photos in Boca Rotan? No, it would seem the only one you can rely on to make sound financial decisions in your interest…

Whoa.  How's this for a culinary Yes/No? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1293197073639264257 Now as much as I love chocolate and jalapeños and peanut butter (Yes, that's a peanut butter liquid center and not cheese) I'm not sure I can get behind this.  The combination is weird.  Apple pie and cheddar cheese slice weird. (Hmm.  I seemed to have lost…

So, Yes/No? https://twitter.com/foodhip/status/1291239345593159680 As much as I admire the ingenuity - and love spicy - I think it's a terrible injustice done to those sweet crab legs.  So, no. Question: If you finish something early, do you deliver early?  Or do you sit on it until the deadline? Film-themed questions! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1292238266784243712 A hero's private life…

  Gearing up for her walk. Hmph! Keeping an eye on you. Enjoying the sunny spot. Yo, Babushka! Snooze mode.

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1291866753434255368 So, what do you think? Good zoom chat last night with boo readers Lori, Kevin, and Shane.  Topics covered included Stargate's SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe, Dark Matter, writing, and standing out on your lawn under the sprinklers on a hot summer's day.  A great time was had by all (I can only assume!). The…

Well, today's the day of our big group zoom chat.  Because all four participants are in four different time zones, looks like we'll be kicking things off at 9:00 p.m. my time.  Yes, we'll be eating into my bedtime, but I'm sure it'll be worth it! This morning, Akemi was incensed to learn that despite…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1291349393703084034 So, what's your secret hostage message? Received word today on one of the pitches.  We're graduating to full take (!) meaning I'll be fleshing out that original 5 page summary into a full 12-15 page overview covering the pilot, the series, the world and its characters, and, of course, my vision for season 1…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1291055216629100545 I come firmly down on the side of maybe.  Seems more of a side dish to be enjoyed with a good smashburger which is, by the way, my latest food craze.  I flatten the burgers with a heavy saucepan, then pinch the edges (as per the advice garnered from the internet) and fry them…

I do love me a good midday dark cloud heavy rainstorm! Today's burning question... What is the worst mug you own? That mug that's so ugly or ill-designed you keep it in the back of the cupboard for dire emergencies only? Check out this cumbersome monstrosity. Its forward-weighted for easy tipping and the lip is…
