So, that finale... Yeah. I'll avoid commenting suffice it to say we are hard at work, providing answers to a few of the, uh, outstanding questions we were left with at episode's end. And, I guarantee you - BIG answers coming your way in season 3. But, for now, I'm still enjoying Japan with Akemi. Yesterday,…

September 5, 2016: Mission! Daredevil: “Born Again”!
It's hard to believe we'll be heading back to Toronto in about a month. And just when I was settling back into the swing of things here in Vancouver, revisiting my favorite book shops and discovering amazing new restaurants. At the top of the latter list is Mission on West 4th. I discovered this place while…
September 4, 2016: Dark Matter “Take The Shot” Recaps, Reviews, and Reactions!
My conversation with Akemi today: Me: X has a ten year old son. Akemi: What?! Really? Since when?! Me: Uh, since about ten years ago.

September 3, 2016: Dark Matter Season 2! The Final Stretch!
It's funny. About a month ago it was the agony of "Oh, no! Will we get picked up?!". Now, it's the agony of "Oh, no! We got picked up!" Scripts to write. Stories to break. Plans to make. And what seemed so faraway back in May as we were wrapping up production on Dark Matter's…

August 28, 2016: October! Akemi-isms! Dark Matter! L.A.!
Yesterday, we were introduced to a potential house-sitter via our friend Nicole. She was lovely - a pleasant, intelligent, young professional who is looking for a place in Vancouver come October. The timing should be perfect - provided we get that third season pick-up. Akemi and I will have someone to watch the house and…
August 27, 2016: Dark Matter “Episode 22: Going Out Fighting” Recaps, Reviews, Reactions!
I'm much more likely to pull over to greet an elderly pug than to help a stranded motorist. I mention this because I came across this study the other day: (source: Vox) To be fair, my dogs are much lighter and easier to carry than the average tourist or grandparent. Hey, in belated celebration of…
