May 17, 2018: Dark Matter Episode 401 – Act 1!
I experienced a range of emotions upon hearing of Dark Matter's surprising cancellation: disbelief, anger, sadness, and a lot of frustration at the thought of leaving this story incomplete. As most of you know, I went in with a game plan from Day 1, a thorough narrative blueprint encompassing every story and character arc over…
April 26, 2018: Actor Andrew Moodie Answers Your Questions!
One of the many highlights of working on Dark Matter was the opportunity I got to collaborate with some truly gifted individuals, both in front and behind the camera. Actor Andrew Moodie, who played the role of Teku Fonsei, is one example. He's not only talented, poised, and professional, but one of the nicest guys…
March 15, 2018: Actor Andrew Moodie Q&A! More on the DriveToRevive! I may be dating Turanga Leela!
Well, well, well. If it isn't Dark Matter's Teku Fonsei, actor Andrew Moodie, incognito. Well, actually, it IS. And he's pretty cognito. The beard is for a play he's doing. The crispy pig ear he's holding? Not part of the performance art. Anyway, I was having lunch with Andrew today and thought - I bet…
March 3, 2018: Congratulations, Stargate fans! One more test-drive to go!
Well, last night's #TestTheDrive campaign went very well. Here's how we did in that hour... Trendsmap Almost 35k tweets in an hour. Fantastic. I think we can work on those replies, making more of an effort to engage with our fellow tweeters, but overall this is amazing for a dry run. Almost everyone was fantastic…
February 26, 2018: Save the date Stargate fans!

[note: corrected times] Of course (and preferably), you can show up for…
February 25, 2018: SciFi Fandoms United!
Stargate was a fantastic 12-year experience for me. I learned a lot from showrunners Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, the cast, the crew, and fandom. Among the greatest takeaways from my time on the show is this oft-repeated (by me) nugget: "Fans tune in for the hook, but they stay for the characters". To that,…
February 24, 2018: Here’s the Game Plan, Stargate Fans! StargateNow!
With the release of Stargate: Origins on the Stargate Command platform, MGM has taken the first steps towards exploring fan interest in further Stargate adventures. However, as the first couple of SG:O episodes rolled out, I wondered if there was another way to gauge fan support for a potential new series. There are many, MANY international…
February 23, 2018: A call to all Stargate, Dark Matter, and scifi fans!
Where do you get your scifi fix? Do you read? Do you check out the latest big screen offerings (I've been hearing great things about Annihilation)? Possibly tune in to traditional broadcast homes like FOX (The X-Files, The Gifted, The Orville) and CW (The 100, Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Black Lightning)? Perhaps go the cable route…
February 15, 2018: Stargate pics and musings!
Alas, those seemingly inaccessible hard drives, once accessible, were a bust. Mostly whale footage and videos of Special Features Producer Ivon Bartok's trip to Dominica. On the bright side, I was reminded that there are a couple of other more promising hard drives in my storage locker. Now it's just a matter of finding them.…
February 12, 2018: Food for thought and assorted goodies!
Kicking off today's blog entry with a link to a terrific article that appeared on Gateworld.net yesterday: "How would you feel if a theater ushered you out of your seat with 30 minutes of the movie still left? Would you come back?" Syfy Owes Fans A Bigger Commitment "If a serialized show is on the…
February 9, 2018: More Dark Matter swag!
Last year, following news of Dark Matter's cancellation, we thought it would be nice to do something for all the fans that help make DM one of Syfy's most-watched shows! The original plan was to give you all a satisfying ending but, alas, Syfy never bothered getting back to us regarding our humble request for…
February 6, 2018: More Dark Matter Swag!
Well, isn't this nice? The Dark Matter swag deliveries continue... Apparel! Props! Varied treasures! The latter assortment found its way to Tom Gardiner who tirelessly covers genre film & television for SciFiSingularity and ThreeIfBySpace, but is particularly noted for having been blacklisted by Syfy shortly after he had the audacity to criticize their cancellation of Dark Matter.…
February 3, 2018: Spreading the Dark Matter love!
Reports have begun to filter in of Dark Matter fans finally receiving surprises in the mail c/o Prodigy Pictures! This was the request that went out last fall... And, after sorting through well over 1 000 letters, the production office commenced deliveries. So, what'd we get? Cast-signed Blu-rays. Signed Dark Matter crew sweatshirts. Dark Matter props! Dark…
