Our official final main unit day was an event that involved the entire cast - in addition to some thirty extras. After the final scene had been shot (appropriately enough, the final scene of the show's first season), we wrapped - and celebrated the end of a challenging but very satisfying year. And then we…
August 29, 2015: The Bridge of The Raza on our last day of main unit production!
Every wonder how the Android whiles away those late night hours on the bridge? Well, here's your answer: Monitor magic compliments of Dark Matter playback operator Greg Whiteside!
August 27, 2015: Win a Dark Matter script – and secrets!
Here's the deal. I'm giving away a signed copy of the Dark Matter season one finale. But this isn't just a run-of-the-mill signed script. No. I'm offering up an annotated version of the script for Episode 13 with notes on EVERY page, offering behind the scenes insights, episode secrets, and a hint or two at what's in…
August 26, 2015: Dark Matter – The Season One Finale!
Are you ready? This Friday night, Dark Matter's biggest questions are answered in our explosive Dark Matter double episode finale. First up is Episode 12. FIVE makes a shocking discovery, TWO meets her maker (literally!), and one crew member undertakes a rare off-ship mission in an outing that sees the return of the crew's colorful agent, Tabor Calchek (played…
August 25, 2015: Dark Matter’s Biggest Holy Sh%t Moments! The Season One Edition!
From the onset, I promised viewers, twists, turns, surprises and shocks over the course of Dark Matter's first season. There have been plenty in these first 11 episodes and there are a couple of more BIG ones to come. So, as we barrel toward our big double episode finale (this Friday night on SyFy and SpaceChannel…
August 24, 2015: Looking ahead to Episodes 12 and 13; looking back on Episode 11!
When I was first told that the last two episodes of the season would run as a double-header finale, I didn't like the idea. We'd fashioned each episode to end with a huge, more often than not, WTF?! moment that would keep viewers buzzing until the following week's instalment. In my mind, the BIG WTF?!…
August 23, 2015: The Dog Days of Dark Matter!
The first time I visited the wardrobe department, I noticed the photo of the dog on the back wall. I thought it was amusing, didn't think anything of it until the next time I visited and noticed the second photo. I dismissed them as "funny dog pictures". Until, on my third visit, I noted they…
August 22, 2015: Dark Matter Episode 11! What’d you think?
So, what'd many of you think? I use the term "many" because our international friends have yet to see the dark, adrenaline-charged, action-packed recent episode. All I'm going to say is: "One more question answered - and a couple of more asked. Like what the heck happened in those closing minutes?!" More answers to come…
August 21, 2015: Dark Matter Episode 11! Tonight!
Look at what arrived today compliments of blog regular PBMom. A slew of Dark Matter chocolate bars! FireRoasted & StoneGround! Black Chocolate, Black Lava Sea Salt, Black Pepper! The very flavour of dark matter! Thanks so much, Hilda! Your gift couldn't have come at a better time as we sit down, tonight, to Dark Matter Episode 11…
August 18, 2015: Alex Mallari Jr. – Dark Matter’s FOUR – wants your questions!
I'm pleased to announce our second Dark Matter cast Q&A. On the hot seat next is actor Alex Mallari Jr., Dark Matter's FOUR. If you've got a question for Alex, post it in the comments section of this blog. In the interest of preserving my own sanity (since I'm the one who has cut and paste all the text…
August 17, 2015: Looking ahead to Dark Matter Episode 1.11!
The thing I love most about doing interviews is coming back to them, days later, and being genuinely surprised by what I said... http://www.threeifbyspace.net/2015/08/dark-matter-exclusive-9-questions-with-joseph-mallozzi/#.VdKEd3g-AdV In which I talk corporate conflicts, TWO's secret, and coming revelations! http://www.thetvjunkies.com/dark-matter-episode-10-postmortem-the-future-is-bleak/?utm_content=buffer2f692&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer In which I offer insight on our Android's issues, FIVE's place, and our crew's options down to (slim and…
August 14, 2015: Behind the scenes on Dark Matter Episode 10!
I love a good heist episode. And Dark Matter Episode 110 is a great one! A great mix of action, humor, character moments - with the added bonus of some of the most enjoyably colorful guest characters this side of Arcturus-4! Torri Higginson (Stargate: Atlantis), Ennis Esmer (Red Oaks, The Listener), Jessica Sipos (Ascension), Jon Cor (Shadowhunters), Conrad Pla…
August 13, 2015: Recommended Reads! And Dark Matter screenshots!
After last year's impressive reading tally, I set the bar a lot lower this year but, even so, it looked like I was going to come up short of the 100 book mark. Over this past month, however, I've done some major catching up. Here are a few of the titles I enjoyed... Half A…
August 12, 2015: Dark Matter Episode 110 Preview!
The Mikkei Combine’s Commander Delaney Truffault (Torri Higginson, STARGATE: ATLANTIS) offers the crew a golden opportunity to make some much-needed cash and acquire some much-needed protection by taking on a job to heist a mysterious device from a rival corporation. Complications arise in the form of another team of ruthless mercenaries who have also been…
August 10, 2015: Ask Anthony Lemke whatever!
If you have questions for the handsome, wistful-looking fellow pictured above, then post them in this blog's comment section by Wednesday night because that's when I'll be forwarding your queries to Dark Matter's resident rogue, Anthony Lemke. I know he'd love to hear from you (especially YOU), so don't be shy. Ask away! To those of you…
