August 2, 2017: Which Stargate cast member would you like to see on Dark Matter?
In yesterday's blog entry, I mentioned the similarities between Stargate and Dark Matter, but one of the parallels I failed to mention was the talent, both behind and in front of the camera. Former Stargate Executive Producers Robert C. Cooper and Martin Gero consulted and wrote for Dark Matter, former Stargate directors Amanda Tapping, Andy Mikita, Will Waring, Martin Wood,…
August 1, 2017: The Stargate/Dark Matter Connection!
A little while ago, a buddy of mine forwarded me an old article he came across while clearing out his place. Titled "Winning the Space Race", it was a piece on Stargate: SG-1. The article intros: "It's slammed by critics and sci-fi diehards, but Stargate: SG-1 has become the little show that could, staying on the…

20 years ago today, Stargate: SG-1 premiered on Showtime. I celebrated by going out for spicy chili chicken and dan dan noodles with actor Michael Shanks.

July 22, 2017: Mailbag!
Let's answer some questions... Georgia G.: "Just a small question… now that the episode descriptions have been revealed, does this mean we will finally see which doggie pics match up with what episodes, soon?" Answer: Sure, once the finale has aired I'll post them. Ponytail: "You’ve gone quiet in your house hunting. Did you find…
July 21, 2017: The Hot Chocolate Response!
"That fight scene. There’s no denying when they concentrate on action, they can do a good job and here it was a rambunctious one-on-one with a nice steady camera angle that let the fight breathe on its own, something I have great respect for in the world of cinematography. Two and Ishida are the most…
