You? Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1619372816914317312 According to Akemi, there's an Edo period preparation that substitutes the pie for rice. I suggested she try the recipe some day. She was...unethusiastic. Bringing you more from the Stargate vault... Enemies... I always found it interesting that, whenever certain fans took issue with a creative decision, they would always blame…
January 26, 2021: Powder progress, fried chicken sandwiches, and Stargate concept art!
A productive day. Completed a first draft of the Powder Mage overview and got some excellent feedback from author Brian McClellan. Will do another pass, get it out and, after that, it'll be smooooooth sailing! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1353493659384213505 I have come to the conclusion that there are only two places for good barbecue in Toronto - Barque…

September 30, 2020: And one from the Dark Matter vault!
Those who know me know that I'm a huge anime fan. Back in Vancouver, my collection was 3000 dvd's deep. So it should come as no surprise that Dark Matter was heavily influenced by the genre, everything from the character of FOUR and his connection to the Principality of Zairon to FIVE who is a…

August 13, 2020: Stargate Stuff! And the Crime Club convenes to discuss Caché!
I was going through my old hard drives and came across a slew of Stargate-related photos. Unfortunately, the cable, as well as the hard drive itself, are a little wonky and I'm only able to snag a handful of photos at a time before the connection is severed. But this is what I got so…

Fan Support! A Sci-Fi Survey! And the SG-1 Elite Eight!
Wow. Tuesday I mentioned that Playback article detailing some of the projects Vanessa Piazza and I have in development, among them a sci-fi series called TimEscape. Well, yesterday fans, clearly impatient for another rollicking sci-fi show, got the ball rolling by establishing a TimEscapeHQ twitter account. It's early, as several pieces still have to fall…
July 25, 2019: The waiting is the hardest part!
People (Generally, those not in the industry) react with amazement when they find out I'm juggling multiple development projects. I'm sure they imagine me working 24/7, going from one project to the next, with little room for rest. Sadly, however, this couldn't be further from the truth. Much of "development" is waiting. Waiting for someone…
July 4, 2019: Super Secret Projects Revealed!
Finally. Over the course of the past few months, I've been making vague references to a total of SEVEN different projects I'm currently work on, all in varying stages of development.

March 25, 2019: Production Day #1
Rolling! Yes, finally, after months of development, writing, designing, world-building, set and costume construction, and meetings, meetings, meetings, today was our first day of principal photography! On set today were the former lieutenant, the former Agent, and the former bounty hunter - along with several others. Boy, if this was Dark Matter, I'd be posting…
January 10, 2019: Back in my old stomping grounds!
A bittersweet trip back to the site of my previous series, Dark Matter, today as we start early prep on this new show. I have, to the best of my ability, sought to reassemble the same behind-the-scenes team that made DM such a great experience. If all goes as planned, I'll be moving back into…
14 Ridiculous Plot Twists That Hurt Syfy Shows – Or Were They?
I came across this interesting Screen Rant article today by Toby Symonds which offers up his take on what he felt were ridiculous plot twists (and a few that weren't) on shows that aired on syfy. Among the culprits was the decision NOT to kill of Ronon Dex in the Atlantis finale and the decision…
