Got the budget for the horror shoot. Need to have some further discussions with my line producer and director prior to hopping on the phone with Team Bulgaria, but it's looking good. Now the big challenge will be getting those tax credit numbers, completing that comprehensive business plan, having it vetted, and then wowing the…

February 12, 2021: An All Stargate Blog Entry!
So I've been asked to comment on this recent "breaking news" regarding a rumored sale of MGM to Disney... https://twitter.com/iaw84u/status/1358861584127393795 Yes, there's a possibility this could happen but, in fairness, we've heard similar rumors in the past that never panned out. Still, I find it interesting as Disney would be a good fit for one…
February 5, 2021: Busy Day! Here, have some Stargate concept art and cosmic brownies!
Whew! What a day. Got feedback on the Project F pilot and the Powder Mage overview, strategized regarding three more projects, did some stock research, sourced and sent off some tax documents to my agent, and had four zoom calls with some amazing young and talented writers. Oh, and also - and most importantly -…
January 26, 2021: Powder progress, fried chicken sandwiches, and Stargate concept art!
A productive day. Completed a first draft of the Powder Mage overview and got some excellent feedback from author Brian McClellan. Will do another pass, get it out and, after that, it'll be smooooooth sailing! https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1353493659384213505 I have come to the conclusion that there are only two places for good barbecue in Toronto - Barque…
January 23, 2021: Saturday salmagundi!
So who do you got into tomorrow's games? I'm rooting for a Bills-Packers Super Bowl. Failing that, recount of this year's playoff games that would disallow turnovers south of the Mason-Dixie line, thus setting up a Titans-Saints Super Bowl. Jonas Quinn! Fandom wars! And check marks are bad! David Reed and and I talk Stargate:…

10 Most Underrated Stargate Episodes
So I came across this article the other day... 10 Most Underrated Stargate Episodes It's a lot of fun, but I do question some of the episodes included in this list, not because I don't believe they're deserving, but due to the fact I don't consider them underrated. Maybe by critics or the greater audience…

August 13, 2020: Stargate Stuff! And the Crime Club convenes to discuss Caché!
I was going through my old hard drives and came across a slew of Stargate-related photos. Unfortunately, the cable, as well as the hard drive itself, are a little wonky and I'm only able to snag a handful of photos at a time before the connection is severed. But this is what I got so…
Welcome to my Time Loop Episode MasterClass
I’ve always been a huge fan of time travel, and especially time loop stories. One of the very first episodes I wrote for Stargate, with my former writing partner Paul Mullie, was Window of Opportunity, a time loop episode that consistently ranks as Stargate fandom’s all-time favorite episode (a huge achievement when you consider the franchise produced…
December 10, 2019: Stargate: Atlantis “Reunion” deleted (Carter-Sheppard) balcony scene you may have missed!
Another deleted scene I uploaded during the tweestorm that you may have missed is this one from Stargate: Atlantis "Reunion", a nice episode-ender featuring new Atlantis commander Samantha Carter and John Sheppard, that was, sadly, lost for time. Blue screen here as our heroes would have looked out on the waters surrounding the city through…
