So, let's discuss next steps. I know there are those of you who would prefer to have your imaginations finish the story for you. And I'm fine with that because it looks like another season or miniseries is off the table (for now). But there are those of you who would like some closure -…
September 23, 2017: The End
All good things must come to an end - some much sooner than expected. Sadly, such is the case for Dark Matter. Despite word of the cancellation by syfy, fandom rose up and gave us new hope. We sought to buck the odds and find our little show a new home. But unfortunately, I just…

September 21, 2017: Let’s do a Dark Matter mailbag!
Apologies for not checking in sooner. I've been out of commission today, sick and sleeping off what I assume to be a touch of food poisoning. Was it the curry ramen? A fried oyster? The lychee sake that tasted like dish washing soap? I'll avoid a Murder on the Orient Express gag here out…
September 20, 2017: One Down, One To Go!
And then there was one. Another potential partner dropped out of the running today in our mad dash to save Dark Matter. In the end it came down to money. As much as both sides wanted to make it work, it was clear the gap separating us was too wide. A valiant effort but to no…

September 14, 2017: We can do this!
In fact, we ARE doing it. All that online passion - the tweets, retweets, tagging and hash tagging - is having an effect. It's impressing some, concerning others, but surprising all. It's thanks to you that we are where we are, with three potential new partners in deep discussion. As I've been saying all along,…

September 10, 2017: Dark Matter Fandom Full Steam Ahead!
Alright, Team Raza, we are heading into perhaps the most important week in Dark Matter history. On the docket are not one, not TWO, but THREE Dark Matter-related "events" that could turn things around for our little show. People constantly ask me "What are the chances?" and I demur, not wishing to set expectations, but…
September 9, 2017: Dark Matter fans Rock the Raza…and twitter!
In a word: Wow! Going into last night's scheduled tweetfest, I was hoping we could double the numbers of the preceding dry-runs that tallied somewhere in the area of 29k-30k tweets. Well, Dark Matter fans stepped up enmasse and did better. MUCH better. We didn't just double those numbers. Hell, we didn't even triple those…
September 7, 2017: Family, Friendship, and Fandom!
So I've been taking meetings with various production companies, looking ahead to my next project (hopefully not for another two years) and when the conversation turns to Dark Matter, the response from those I've met has been bewilderment and sympathy. Solid ratings, a strong creative and modest licensing fee should have translated to a pickup and…
September 6, 2017: Dark Matter fandom, at your battle stations!
The odds may be long and time may be short, but people are taking notice. I received a call yesterday from an old friend who has put me in touch with some interested parties. Although a positive development, one of the biggest hurdles we now face is the various pre-existing deals that complicate matters. For…
September 5, 2017: Dark Matter fans get ready to storm the castle!
Last night - Jeff Teravainen (Lieutenant Anders), me, Tamsen McDonough (Lucy), Thom Allison (Preemptively), and Sean Baek (Fancy Lee). Sadly, this the closest we'll ever come to that proposed Dark Matter/Killjoys crossover. Okay, here's the latest on this Friday night's tweet storm. Apparently, the plan is to rewatch Dark Matter's first episode at the appointed…
