February 10, 2020: I’m Team Habanero!

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1226954624650956805 I love spicy.  Always have.  The heat, obviously, but also the flavors of the varied peppers simmering beneath that deep fire kick.  The bottom shelf of my refrigerator is occupied by my hot sauce collection (much to Akemi's chagrin) with names like Brain Damage, Memento Muerte, and Howler Monkey.  Although I have a high…

February 8, 2020: Serial killer, you say?

Majority of serial killers are Taurus, study claims I am not in the least surprised. "Is your friend a Taurus? Does he or she obsess over murder and watch way too much “CSI”? There’s a good reason to be wary now." And yet it's always the same.  Whenever police catch a serial killer, the neighbors…

February 7, 2020: Sliding on over…

Scientists are searching for a mirror universe.  It could be sitting right in front of you. What's this?  On the heels of our discussion about seeking out a new timeline comes this article from NBC News on the search for a mirror universe!  Coincidence?  Maaaaybe.  OR - maybe not!  Is this a sign?  Some echo…

February 6, 2020: The Evening Edition!

Took a HUGE schnitz today at Country Style Hungarian Restaurant.  As did my friend Robbie.  Akemi opted for the cabbage roll.  It has been a while.  In fact, now that I think on it, I believe the last time I had schnitzel was at The Black Forest Inn in Hamilton during Dark Matter's third season.  It…

February 4, 2020: Akemi-isms! Project update! Lunches, lunches, and dinners!

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1224512961458450434 Wait!  Have I already shifted out of the dark timeline?  Received a message today regarding a project I have been working on with this lovable individual - Yes, I'm collaborating with Ed the Sock (and, oh yeah, also his handler, the lovely and talented Steve Kerzner) on a high concept procedural. Anyway, we're scheduling…

February 3, 2020: This is the dark timeline!

If you needed any more proof, look no further than yesterday's Super Bowl. I need to get back to my Reality Prime where, I expect, I'll be receiving good news on one of my projects before week's end.  Wish me luck on my journey back! Feast your eyes on this haul! This past weekend, Akemi…

Spoilers for Super Bowl 54!

Super Bowl 54 will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the San Francisco 49ers.  Mahomes and the Chiefs offense has looked positively unbeatable rolling into the big game, marching up and down the field and scoring seemingly at will, averaging 43 points in their last two post-season games. They are reminiscent of the…

January 31, 2020: I think I might be etherium-deficient!

I remember Dark Matter director/stunt coordinator John Stead coming into my office one day, looking down at the supplements crowding my desk and throwing me a concerned: "Joe, man. Are you okay?" In retrospect, I probably didn't need to be taking so many, but I'd just read a Men's Health article that outlined the most…

January 30, 2020: Dialing home! Excusing psychotic behavior! #AmazingPeopleWithWhomIHaveWorked!

Well, this takes me back to...oh, not that long ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqf5hHxu6zA&feature=emb_logo Ah, I see ESPN is looking to redeem Michael Vick in its upcoming documentary on the dog-killer: ESPN producing documentary seeking to excuse Vick's crimes "Perhaps the biggest question, though, was raised by the documentary's director, Stanley Nelson, in a phone interview Wednesday with…

January 28, 2020: Recommend me a new…ah, never mind!

Thinking of starting a new show, but not sure what I should be checking out while I wait for season 2 of The Boys to drop.  I feel in the mood for something in the horror realm and Stephen King's The Outsider seems the perfect fit, except for the fact they're dropping episodes on a…

January 27, 2020: Tweetstorm, Dark Matter and #AmazingPeopleWithWhomIHaveWorked!

Thanks to everyone who joined in on our last Stargate tweetstorm.  Although the aim wasn't really to trend, we did nonetheless place in the Top 10 in France, Germany, and Canada, and ended up showing in the U.S., U.K., and Worldwide trends.  So well done.  The potential homes of a new series were blasted with…
