Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner! A little over a week ago, I offered fans a chance to win a signed, annotated script of Episode 13. All you had to do? Guess Answer the following questions: In the season finale, who makes known their intention to go their own way? Who wiped the crew's memories?…

Dark Matter's first season is a wrap, so let's take a little tour of our standing sets...
September 5, 2015: Dark Matter behind the scenes! Filming the Android Drop – Episode #12!
Dark Matter's first season may be over (or nearing an end in other parts of the world), but that doesn't mean you all have to wait until next year for new material. Over the course of the next few months, I'll be offering up behind-the-scenes insights, pics and videos of our awesome first season. Then, when…

In case you missed it, here are Jodelle Ferland (FIVE), Alex Mallari Jr. (FOUR), and Anthony Lemke (THREE) and yesterday's FanExpo Dark Matter panel in Toronto. Video via AdamMethos (Thanks!)

September 3, 2015: That finale…
"I think he is crazy, Joey. He makes people anxious!" My mother halfway through watching the Dark Matter season finale. Sorry, mom. My sis followed up with this text: "And I have no nails left." Would love to open this blog up to discussion about the finale, but I'm going to hold off until next week, after our…
September 2, 2015: Dark Matter deleted scene!
Our season 1 finale ran overlong and, as a result, we had to make some trims. One scene - a late addition dream sequence - didn't make the final cut. While not crucial to Episode 13, it does explore two of our pre-amnesiac crew members, and sheds light on the fate of Hrothgar and co. while…
September 1, 2015: Dark Matter Season 2!!!
It's awesome news and I greatly appreciate the support shown by Syfy, Space Channel, and SyfyInternational for our little series. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/01/dark-matter-killjoys-renewed-syfy-season-2 I appreciate our unbelievably talented cast and crew and post department - and am pleased they're getting the second season they richly deserve. http://deadline.com/2015/09/killjoys-dark-matter-renewed-season-2-syfy-1201511362/ And last but not least, I appreciate the support of…
August 31, 2015: And that’s a wrap on Dark Matter’s first season!
What awaits our intrepid crew?
August 30, 2015: Last Days of Dark Matter – Season 1!
Our official final main unit day was an event that involved the entire cast - in addition to some thirty extras. After the final scene had been shot (appropriately enough, the final scene of the show's first season), we wrapped - and celebrated the end of a challenging but very satisfying year. And then we…
August 27, 2015: Win a Dark Matter script – and secrets!
Here's the deal. I'm giving away a signed copy of the Dark Matter season one finale. But this isn't just a run-of-the-mill signed script. No. I'm offering up an annotated version of the script for Episode 13 with notes on EVERY page, offering behind the scenes insights, episode secrets, and a hint or two at what's in…
August 26, 2015: Dark Matter – The Season One Finale!
Are you ready? This Friday night, Dark Matter's biggest questions are answered in our explosive Dark Matter double episode finale. First up is Episode 12. FIVE makes a shocking discovery, TWO meets her maker (literally!), and one crew member undertakes a rare off-ship mission in an outing that sees the return of the crew's colorful agent, Tabor Calchek (played…
August 25, 2015: Dark Matter’s Biggest Holy Sh%t Moments! The Season One Edition!
From the onset, I promised viewers, twists, turns, surprises and shocks over the course of Dark Matter's first season. There have been plenty in these first 11 episodes and there are a couple of more BIG ones to come. So, as we barrel toward our big double episode finale (this Friday night on SyFy and SpaceChannel…
August 24, 2015: Looking ahead to Episodes 12 and 13; looking back on Episode 11!
When I was first told that the last two episodes of the season would run as a double-header finale, I didn't like the idea. We'd fashioned each episode to end with a huge, more often than not, WTF?! moment that would keep viewers buzzing until the following week's instalment. In my mind, the BIG WTF?!…
August 23, 2015: The Dog Days of Dark Matter!
The first time I visited the wardrobe department, I noticed the photo of the dog on the back wall. I thought it was amusing, didn't think anything of it until the next time I visited and noticed the second photo. I dismissed them as "funny dog pictures". Until, on my third visit, I noted they…
August 22, 2015: Dark Matter Episode 11! What’d you think?
So, what'd many of you think? I use the term "many" because our international friends have yet to see the dark, adrenaline-charged, action-packed recent episode. All I'm going to say is: "One more question answered - and a couple of more asked. Like what the heck happened in those closing minutes?!" More answers to come…
