February 18, 2018: The Stargate Initiative!
"What do you know, Joe?"fans have started asking, given the timing of my recent blog posts. To be honest, I just know - and can infer - only as much as you. The launch of stargatecommand.co and the production and premiere of Stargate: Origins is, clearly, the first step in the return of an all-new…
February 17, 2018: Stargate possibilities
I know, I know. You're sitting there, re-reading yesterday's blog entry, thinking to yourself: "Surely rebooting the franchise wouldn't be that big a deal. The longtime fans who invested so much in those 17 seasons of television history - the characters, the technology, the worlds created for SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe - would get over it.…
February 16, 2018: Stargate – the next step!
Recently, I've been asked my thoughts on the immediate future of Stargate. Specifically, with the release of the Stargate: Origins web series (you can check it out here at StargateCommand) fans want to know: "Where do we go from here?" Well, to be honest, my opinion hasn't really changed since I wrote this blog entry…
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 11, 2018: Stargate Playback, Previs and Animatics!
Well, this is pretty cool! Puddle Jumper diagnostic playback. Atlantis "Rising" opening shot - previs. Taking Flight previs. Antarctic Outpost Reveal - animatic. Heads Up! animatic.
February 10, 2018: The Stargate Concept Art of James Robbins!
So the other day, I came across an old hard drive containing a slew of Stargate-related visuals: concept art, designs, previs. It's actually about 0.5% of the library of BTS pics and vids sitting in my storage unit, much of it somewhat inaccessible due to the fact that the technology is incredibly old and lacking…
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…
February 1, 2018: Taking a trip down Stargate memory lane!
Over the past couple of days, I've been going through some old blog posts, taking a trip down Stargate memory lane, and sharing some of the BTS pics on twitter. Here are a few of the highlights... Me, ten years ago, plotting world domination...and Atlantis's fourth season. This awesome Asgard fan art adorned the production…
January 16, 2018: Dark Matter recognition!
"Excuse me,"said our waiter in his thick Italian accent. "May I ask you a question." "Sure,"said Anthony. "You are an actor?" "Yes." "You are Boone?!" "Yes!" "But after three seasons, it is finished already???" Well, yes. Long story but, in a nutshell, the decision makers at syfy were never fans of the show. Still, I…
January 9, 2018: Fight! Fight! Fight!
The first rule of Dark Matter Fight Club is Post About Dark Matter Fight Club! Pictured above: Director Bruce McDonald and Co-Executive Producer Robbie David at the official weigh-in for their big match. While we're on the subject, Dark Matter's Solara Shockley (and Brazilian Top Team Purple Belt and 2 time IBJJF World Champion Ayisha Issa)…
