Well, today's Periscope Dark Matter Joseph Mallozzi Q&A was a tremendous success! Insofar as I actually got it to work...eventually. One full minute of confused dead air time aside, it came together as expected: fun, informative, and sporadically awkward. I think that, in the future, I'll just stick with the onscreen questions as bouncing between…

July 13, 2015: The Return of the Weird Food Purchase of the Day! Key Lime Oreos! Dark Matter interview links!
The biggest highlight of my trip to San Diego Comic Con (yes, even bigger than the corn tamales at The Cheesecake Factory) was meeting the fans (Dark Matter and Stargate), at the panel and then one on one on the floor. I met up with my former Stargate cohort Jenny Stiven and her family, David and Tiffany who I first met…
July 12, 2015: The Mikkei Ships!
A little something I was holding onto. The breakdown on the Ferrous Corp and Galactic Authority ships were featured on another site. Today, I feature the ships of The Mikkei Combine with helpful overviews from design artist James Robbins and VFX supervisor Lawren Bancroft-Wilson. James Robbins: [Dark Matter Production Designer] Ian Brock forwarded me the…
July 11, 2015: Back! But barely!
Well, I'm finally back home - but it was touch and go there for a while. For some reason, there are no direct flights from Vancouver to San Diego, so we were at the whim of the schedule makers. The aforementioned decreed one hour would be plenty of tie to fly in to San Francisco…

July 9, 2015: San Diego Comic Con! The Dark Matter panel! That Dr. Who/Dark Matter dinner crossover you’ve been asking for!
The photo highlights: The panel was A LOT of fun. Great turnout and some terrific questions. I was actually sad to see it end. From there, we headed for a cast dinner at Nobu where, it turns out, we were seated right behind the gang from Dr. Who, enjoying their own cast dinner. Bigtime Whovian…
July 8, 2015: San Diego Comic Con! Finally!
If this is a taste of what San Diego Comic Con has in store for me, I'd best head back home right now. Akemi and I were up at 6:00 a.m. this morning so that we could get to the airport well in advance of our fight's departure. As it turned, out well WELL in…
