So, why am I so positive about this upcoming tweet storm? Do I actually think it will change things? Influence the decision-makers? Ultimately result in a new in-canon Stargate series? In a word: Yes. For several reasons, most of which I've already outlined. But for one reason almost no one has noted. The last tweet…

October 31, 2019: Stargate Command and the future of Stargate!
Received the following news update regarding Stargate Command, the streaming platform dedicated to all things Stargate... Alas, while sad in principle that a site dedicated to Stargate is shutting down, I think the big picture offers a more positive message. Much of the exclusive content (interviews, behind the scenes videos, etc.) will be moving to…

April 23, 2019: More from the Stargate trove!
So, last night I found myself with a window of free time between my two scripts and my episode 1 cut (that never materialized) and seized the opportunity to go through the various discs, DV's, and hard-drives I'll be shipping out to MGM this week. I can't access a good 95% of the material, but…
14 Ridiculous Plot Twists That Hurt Syfy Shows – Or Were They?
I came across this interesting Screen Rant article today by Toby Symonds which offers up his take on what he felt were ridiculous plot twists (and a few that weren't) on shows that aired on syfy. Among the culprits was the decision NOT to kill of Ronon Dex in the Atlantis finale and the decision…
A little trip down memory lane…

July 2, 2018: On Spoilers!
Oh, teasers are teasers and spoilers are spoilers and never the twain shall meet. The subject of spoilers came up the other day after a New York Times article essentially spoiled the ending to DC Comics' big Batman/Catwoman wedding storyline.

March 12, 2018: Ships of Stargate: SG-1!
Every so often, I get requests for concept work and designs related to the various ships featured on Stargate.
