Viewers tune in for the hook, but they stay for the characters. It's a lesson I learned working on Stargate. As much as fans enjoy the sense of adventure, the action, and the dazzling visual effects, it's the characters at the heart of each show that draw them back, week after week. Whether it's SG-1, the…
August 17, 2017: I’m just going to leave this right here…
Tied for #1 with a whopping 200% bump in viewers 18-34. A bump of over 100% in total viewers. Thanks to fans for making Dark Matter one of SYFY's most watched shows!
August 16, 2017: Dark Matter season 4 preview!
As we impatiently await word on that fourth season pickup, I thought it might be fun to give you all a little hint as to what lies ahead in the show's fourth (and, if all goes as planned/hoped, penultimate) season. No spoilers here, just tantalizing teasers for the next chapter of our space operatic epic!…
August 15, 2017: Making the case for Dark Matter’s fourth season!
"Could you give Dark Matter fans anxiously waiting on renewal a positive argument for why the show should get picked up. Please make a positive case for the show." With no word yet on Dark Matter's future and the finale fast-approaching, I'm often asked to gauge the chances of a renewal. Although I'm as anxious as many…

Well, would you look at this. I came across the series overview I put together for the show, way back when. And, hey, check it out! There's an actual ending we're working towards! A real honest to goodness ending that pays it all off and wraps it all up! TV, eh?'s Greg David previews this Friday…
August 9, 2017: Taking questions for the mailbag!
Akemi today upon setting eyes on the new Canadian ten dollar bill - "Wow. Team Senior. You have to be dead to be on the bill. It's very sad when you think about it." Had two great back to back chats with Paste Magazine's Alexis Gunderson and CarterMatt's Matt Carter this morning. Over the course…

"I want a dragon." Akemi last night after watching Game of Thrones. A sneak peek at this Friday's episode of Dark Matter, "The Dwarf Star Conspiracy": And here's a video of Lulu and Suji enjoying some ice cream:
August 6, 2017: Dark Matter Episodes 310 and 311!
ScreenSpy: "Holy twists, Batman. This episode had a little bit of everything—insight into Android’s creation was a given, but the glimpses into the crew’s past interactions really sealed this episode emotionally." SciFiMoviePage: "An excellent episode that answered a lot of question about the characters in the show." Geeksiders: And what did the AfterBuzz team have…
August 5, 2017: Dark Matter! Stargate! The results are in!
Whew! What a night! Dark Matter fans had us trending before, during, and long after Episode 310, "Built, Not Born" aired. We were all out in force, including cast members, to live tweet one of our biggest episodes yet. And, while all the tweeting was going on, I was rewarding lucky fans with all sorts…

August 3, 2017: Stargate and Dark Matter (and, apparently, Farscape) Fandoms Converge!
Well Holy Smokes! When I composed yesterday's blog entry and asked fans to select a former Stargate cast member to guest in Dark Matter's fourth season, little did I realize the deluge I was in for. Between this blog, reddit, Facebook, google, and twitter, I've received over 1000 responses. And counting! Requests have ranged from the expected (Amanda…
August 2, 2017: Which Stargate cast member would you like to see on Dark Matter?
In yesterday's blog entry, I mentioned the similarities between Stargate and Dark Matter, but one of the parallels I failed to mention was the talent, both behind and in front of the camera. Former Stargate Executive Producers Robert C. Cooper and Martin Gero consulted and wrote for Dark Matter, former Stargate directors Amanda Tapping, Andy Mikita, Will Waring, Martin Wood,…
