So that's the plan. September. That's when I want to be in L.A., pitching my new show. I've got a couple of great projects, approximately 400 hours of produced television experience, a dedicated and talented crew, and a loyal fanbase. Honestly. What else could they ask for? Of course, I just have to, uh, finalize…
August 5, 2019: That special Stargate scene!
As part of last month's SDCC Stargate: Atlantis panel, attendees were treated to a reading of select scenes from the unproduced Stargate: Extinction movie. But since actress Torri Higginson was in attendance, I decided to include an original scene for the occasion, a scene that perhaps could have been canon had the show continued past…

August 3, 2019: My Stargate way of thinking!
Whenever someone asks me about the likelihood of a new Stargate series gracing our screens, my response is always: "It's not a matter of if, but when". Now people assume I must have some insider knowledge, but the truth is I know about as much as any of you do about what MGM has planned…
August 2, 2019: Back at it!
I caught an early flight out of Montreal this morning and arrived in Toronto to find THIS waiting for me at the airport - How Suji convinced Akemi to surprise me, I'll never know. But it was thoroughly unexpected. I can't tell you how nice it is to be back. I missed the gals (Lulu…
August 1, 2019: My Final Day in Montreal – for now!
To celebrate my sister's birthday, we decided to go out for lunch. It was to be me, Andria, Daisy, and actress Torri Higginson who is in town shooting a new series. Well, Daisy ended up bowing out to oversee some home repairs. And then sis cancelled because she was feeling unwell. So it was just…

July 29, 2019: An impromptu visit!
I flew into Montreal last night to help assist with a family medical issue. Following a day of tests and hospital consultations, things look good, so I'm booking a flight back to Toronto for Friday morning. Until then, I'll be enjoying, family, food, and those revisions I need to get started on. Mom last night.…

July 27, 2019: Landing on Stargate!
Today is, apparently, the 22nd of Stargate: SG-1. Hard to believe - 22 years since the show premiered, and about 19 years since my then writing partner and I were offered the opportunity to pitch for the series as the production was looking to expand its writers' room for the show's fourth season. At the…
June 23, 2019: WordPress letdown!
If you're considering upgrading from wordpress.com to wordpress.org - DON'T DO IT! This blog has been one endless headache for me since I made the switch last year. It's been one issue after another - the latest being the discovery that whenever I try to click on the photos on my old blog entries from…

July 19, 2019: The SDCC Wrap-Up!
It's been a whirlwind three days marked by large crowds, lots of walking, plenty of meetings, way too much eatings, a few purchases, and some a couple of truly standout cosplays. The fun debrief will have to wait but, for now, let these pictures...uh...paint a picture... They are Groot! Mysterio! Sue Storm and the Silver…
July 18, 2019: San Diego Comicon!
It's been a crazy Comicon and I have much to update you on. But just got back from a day of meetings, two Stargate events, and a late dinner with Akemi, Jewel Staite, Paul McGillion, and Gary Jones. For now, here is one of the scenes we read at today's panel - a scene I…
