May 18, 2017: Dark Matter contests!
I'm looking to do a little late spring cleaning and one of the things I'd like to clear off my office shelf are a couple of cast-signed, annotated Dark Matter scripts. Would you happen to know anyone who might be interested in acquiring one? Well, all you have to do for a chance to win one…

May 15, 2017: Dark Matter composer Ben Pinkerton Q&A announcement!
We've quickly settled back into life in Vancouver. Well, most of us. Lulu clearly misses her daily visits to the dog park while Suji doesn't have a clue what's going on but seems be enjoying the backyard. For our part, Akemi and I are happy to be back - working out every morning in the…
May 14, 2017: Back in Van!
I am pleased to report we are back home following a thoroughly uneventful flight from Toronto. A 4:50 a.m. wake-up, much fussing and fretting over the dogs, a seemingly endless walk from one end of Pearson airport (check-in) to the other (our boarding gate), five straight hours of Preacher, and a slew of Vancouver errands,…
May 12, 2017: A Diverse Update!
I'm doubly pleased to report that Suji is on the mend following a quick out-patient procedure to remove to suspicious lumps - both of which came back as non-cancerous growths. She celebrated the news by kicking back and spending the afternoon with her new best friend, Pinky Cactuscadero. Spent the last two days in Montreal…

May 3, 2017: Dark Matter Update!
I work in a very strange, unpredictable business. Three years ago, I was 100% certain that Dark Matter was dead and I was poised to go into production on another show I had developed. Within the span of 24 hours, that other show was dead and Dark Matter was suddenly a go. You just...never know. The fact is, despite…
April 29, 2017: Taking a break. Sort of. And your Dark Matter season 3 titles!
Even though I remain busy with post duties on Dark Matter season 3 (cuts, music reviews, mixes, and VFX approvals), I have made it a point NOT to think about season 4. Not yet. I do have a game plan complete with story and character arcs for next year but, for now, I'm taking a little break.…
April 27, 2017: Tonsilitis and Titles!
"Tonsilitis,"said the doctor. "Tonsilitis?"I repeated. "Tonsilitis?"asked a concerned Akemi. "Tonsilities,"he confirmed. "Surgery?"I asked. "Surgery?!"said a suddenly panicked Akemi. "No surgery,"said the doctor. "No surgery?"I asked. "No surgery,"he confirmed. Apparently, tonsil surgery went out of style with in-flight smoking and salad gelatine. Instead of a tonsillectomy, all she needs is about a week's worth of antibiotics. Oh,…
April 26, 2017: Name the Dark Matter season finale!
Over the past two seasons, you, the fans, have helped shape the show. You've weighed in on everything from concept designs to episode titles and, today, your opinion counts more than ever as we seek to name the Dark Matter season 3 finale. As in previous polls, I'm offering up a choice of three potential titles -…
April 25, 2017: The Farewell Tour has begun!
This is the time of year when I put on the pounds. Between show wrap and my return to Vancouver, it's about four weeks packed with goodbye lunches and dinners. Farewell to friends. Farewell to co-workers. Farewell to the crispy sirloin, green pepper and onions taco at Campechano. I'll miss you all! Today, was a…
April 21, 2017: Dark Matter Costume Designer Noreen Landry Answers Your Questions!
Today, I turn this blog over to Dark Matter Costume Designer Noreen Landry who not only happens to be an incredible talent but, really, one of my very favorite people to work with. Her costume meetings are always the highlight of any given prep week and I honestly can't imagine doing the show without her…
