THE SHOW Are people born bad or are they products of their environment? Is redemption possible for everyone? Does remembering your past make you more or less doomed to repeat it? These were just a few of the questions at the heart of Dark Matter, a science fiction series that ran for three seasons, from…
September 13, 2021: Projects Piling Up, Ramen Soda, and Stargate!
Alrighty! Sent the Dark Matter miniseries pitch Jay's way this morning and included some ideas on how we can proceed. I await word on next steps. In the meantime, I'm thinking of uploading the written pitch for you all to check out and find out what the plan is. Interested? Got an update on one…
September 12, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Conserving her energy. Okay. She's ready! Right, let's go. Give up the treats. When he tongue comes out, that means she's thinking. Suji P.I. She's on the case! Limoncello inspector. Get in! We're going for a ride!
$BTU over Brady, $NOC over Nuk, $GD and $EPD over the Ravens D!
The fantasy football season kicked off on Thursday and I am positively indifferent, this despite the fact that my Snow Monkeys are playing in three leagues. My enthusiasm, formerly reserved for player stats, waiver wire prospects, and analyst projections has now shifted to valuation metrics, chart patterns, and analyst projections. It's $BTU over Brady, $NOC…
September 10, 2021: Slippery Slopes and News of Note!
Huzzah! I finished the first draft of my pitch for the Dark Matter miniseries. I spent a couple of hours sourcing images to incorporate into the document, will take the weekend to review and polish, then send Jay's way on Monday. I'll eventually post it here on this blog for you all to check out…

It's gone bad!" to which I rightly point out: "It's hot sauce. That's how you know it's working!" https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1436075948298973188 What's next?

September 7, 2021: Projects, Soups and Dogs, and Yes/No!
Yatta! Pilot outline completed. It clocks in at a robust 23 pages, but since it's the pilot, I wanted to include some nuance and detail to the characters, their interactions, and the myriad storylines. It's dynamic, character driven, and does a nice job of introducing the world and its colorful players. With that done, I…

September 5, 2021: Suji Sunday!
Is she looking whiter to you? I feel like, a year from now, we'll be nicknaming her Snow White. In the morning, she wakes up early and barks and barks until we feed her breakfast. Then, she barks and barks until we take her out. Then, she barks and barks for her afternoon walk at…
September 4, 2021: Hurray for bourbon!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1434238386521395209 I honestly hate it. I fucking hate it. I''ve often said that writers must master three skills in this industry: generating ideas, pitching, and, oh yeah, actual writing. The maddening thing is that the system is weighted towards those who can pitch over those who can actually deliver on the page. Positively mediocre writers…
September 3, 2021: What lies ahead!
Hmmm. It would appear MGM has completely forgotten the existence of three Stargate series. Please help remind them... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1433860984574201858 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1433849049996726272 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1433841606411575298 Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1433788628908625927 Yesterday, we received the final art work for "Project F" from illustrator Henry Fong. The absolutely stunning pieces included character designs, a detailed design of The Citadel including its Embarkation…
September 2, 2021: Read between the tweet lines!
So, came across the following video the other day. Dr. John Campbell has been offering terrific science-based updates on the pandemic since its beginnings - and this latest is pretty significant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhRb5hnTseU If he is right, and the experts are resigned to Covid becoming endemic, then what does that mean for vaccine passports or mask…

August 31, 2021: The Sliding Scale of Moral Outrage
I am constantly amazed by individuals who are quick to call out the ineptitude and wrongdoing of others, especially politicians, yet will excuse, defend or simply ignore incompetence and misconduct when it's "their guy". I mean, I have nothing but sympathy for the partisan hacks who can only view right and wrong through the myopic…
