Well, the house inspection is tomorrow and if it passes (And I can't see why it wouldn't), the sale is a done deal and I have to start figuring things out - like what the hell am I going to do with my massive toy and comic book collection? And if, by some crazy happenstance,…
June 26, 2017: Ayisha Issa (Solara Shockley) Q&A! Episode 304 BTS tidbits!
It was back in 2015 that an actress by the name of Ayisha Issa auditioned for the show. I thought she was terrific but, alas, not quite right for the role. Still, her audition so impressed me that I filed away Ayisha's name in my "To Cast!" memory file. A year later, as we were…
June 25, 2017: My sunny Sunday! And more on Dark Matter’s “All The Time In The World”
Another two Open Houses this weekend, another 5+ hours of self-imposed exile for Akemi and I and the dogs. We packed up the dog beds, the strollers, the water bottles and bowls, the collars and leashes, the dog treats - and headed out for a nice long walk... Which, for my geriatric, achy-boned old dogs…
June 24, 2017: All The Time In the World – Reactions! Responses! Reviews!
Well, that was fun. So, what did everybody think? Episode Debrief with TheTVJunkies' Kelly Townsend: I think of all the characters, she’s the bonafide survivor, so in my mind it made sense to make it her, and her the Android have that connection. I loved the idea of, in the distant, distant future, her and…

June 22, 2017: From Window of Opportunity to All The Time In The World!
About 18 years ago, my writing partner, Paul, and I landed staff positions on a little scifi series called Stargate: SG-1 (You may have heard of it!). With one script under our neophyte belts, we were given the green light to start work on our second. It was based on a pitch that involved the…

June 20, 2017: Dark Matter Episode 304! Sci-Fi Fun!
So, the people across the street and two doors down have put THEIR house up for sale...coincidentally, a week after we put OURS on the market. Seriously, dudes. They're having an open house this Saturday and I intend to swing by, posing as a potential buyer. At some point, when it's at its most crowded,…
June 19, 2017: The build-up begins for Episode 304!
We're now four days away from one of my favorite episodes of Dark Matter, episode 304: "All The Time In The World". Sure, you can look up the official short synopsis online, but I'd just go with my more succinct and descriptive "cuckoo-bananas" summary. If you have friends or family members or casual acquaintances who've yet…
June 18, 2017: After Dark and Murray the security satellite!
I notice that whenever we go shopping, Akemi always entrusts me with the heaviest and least fragile items. I find that both complimentary and slightly insulting. Always, Day #2 of our weekend open house went off without a hitch - if you discount the fact that it rained for the entire two hours we took…
June 17, 2017: The Welcome To The Revolution Fallout!
We held our very first open house today which required us to be out and about for approximately two hours while prospective buyers meandered through our personal space and passed judgement on my complete Gilligan's Island dvd collection. When all was said and done, we had thirteen groups come through with at least three of…

June 13, 2017: Episode 302 Behind The Scenes Pictures!
Yesterday, the Dark Matter writers' room focused on season and character arcs. Today, it was all about our two part opener as we beat out not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but SIX interlinked narrative threads. Season four will be, in a word, "crazy". But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Tomorrow, once…
