It is with great pleasure that I announce our very first Dark Matter fan Q&A! Those of you who followed this blog back in the Stargate days know how it works. But for you late-arrivals... You have the better part of a week to submit your questions for our special guest. Just post them right in this blog's comment…
August 7, 2015: The Dark Matter Season 2 game plan! Dark Matter Episode 109!
The Dark Matter season 2 check-list: 1) Expand the "world" of Dark Matter, from the rule and reach of the Galactic Authority to the structure and rivalries of the interplanetary corporations; the place of humanity in colonized space to the place of Androids in a system driven by humanity. 2) What lies beyond the realm of colonized space! 3)…

Roll call! #FANDROIDS = Fans of The Raza's whimsically endearing Android. #SIXPACK/#6PACK = Fans of The Raza's principled shuttle pilot. #FIVEHIVE/#5HIVE = Fans of The Raza's quirky tech monkey. #FOURCLAN/#4CLAN = Fans…

As promised, the twists, turns, surprises, and revelations are coming fast and furious as we barrel toward our BIG season 1 finale.

July 30, 2015: Dark Matter – Setups and Payoffs!
As most of you know, I created and started developing Dark Matter back when I was working on Stargate: Atlantis. The hope was to roll into Dark Matter whenever Stargate ended...which turned out to be a little later than I'd originally expected. Throw in a year to script and launch the Dark Horse Comics series, the inevitable/interminable wait for the financing to come…
July 27, 2015: Dark Matter secrets! BTS pics!
So, in Episode 107, the crew gained entrance to the mystery room and we finally found out what it held. Or did we? Sure, we found weapons, cash, an entertainment model android and a woman in stasis, but something doesn't quite line up here. Remember back in Episode 101 when FIVE was talking to SIX…
July 27, 2015: Weird Food Purchase of the Day! Dark Matter links!
The second instalment in my Weird Food Purchase of the Week: Weird Soda Edition: Some Dark Matter links: The Summer Studs of SyFy (P.S. After last episode I'm sure you'll agree they're missing one!): http://www.twcc.com/entertainment/galleries/2015/07/the-summer-studs-of-syfy-series#1 An Episode #107 post-mortem: http://www.thetvjunkies.com/dark-matter-episode-7-postmortem-a-rose-does-not-a-romance-make/?utm_content=bufferd9a13&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer "As we do every week, we talked with Mallozzi all about Episode 7 for more information…
July 24, 2015: Pizza and Dark Matter!
Last night episode of Dark Matter was written by former Stargate creator/writer/director/executive producer/showrunner Robert C. Cooper. Sure, he writes some pretty good scripts - but what he really excels at is making pizza...which Akemi, Ivon and I can confirm after having had dinner at his place the other night... So, yeah, thanks for last night's episode. But an especially big…
July 24, 2015: Dark Matter Episode 107 behind the scenes pics!
Dark Matter Episode 107 airs tonight at 10 p.m. EST and 7 p.m./10 p.m. PST on SyFy and Space Channel! Written by Robert C. Cooper! Directed by Bruce McDonald! Guest starring Ruby Rose and Natalie Brown! I'll be live tweeting both airings (and Consulting Producer Ivon Bartok) and then follow up with a live, 15-20 minute…
July 22, 2015: Lulu! #DarkMatter notes!
Thanks to those inquiring about my french bulldog, Lulu. Alas, nothing in the way of any significant improvement yet although I would best describe the change in her condition as a slight upgrade from "yellow mustard" to "Japanese curry". I'm hopeful for an eventual advancement to "Irish stew" but, for now, we're treating her with antibiotics,…
July 21, 2015: Lulu update! Another Periscope? More #DarkMatter Episode 107 photos!
Thanks to all those who asked but, sadly, Lulu isn't doing any better. Yesterday's ultrasound offered up nothing in the way of answers, so she's going in for an endoscopy on Thursday morning to test for something called stand lymphagectasia. If that too comes up empty, then next week it's a colonoscopy to check for…
July 20, 2015: That Periscope Q&A! Thoughts on Episode 106! Previews for Episode 107!
Well, today's Periscope Dark Matter Joseph Mallozzi Q&A was a tremendous success! Insofar as I actually got it to work...eventually. One full minute of confused dead air time aside, it came together as expected: fun, informative, and sporadically awkward. I think that, in the future, I'll just stick with the onscreen questions as bouncing between…
