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…

July 4, 2015: Gambatte Japan! What did you think of Dark Matter episode 104?
So, tomorrow Japan plays the U.S. in the finals of the Women's World Cup. Despite the fact that they're playing the match here in Vancouver, Akemi refuses to go watch it live - not because she doesn't care but because she cares too damn much! I fear that, if we do go and Japan loses,…
July 3, 2015: Dark Matter Dog Clues! Episode 4 tonight! Directed by Amanda Tapping!
I was in the costume department, talking to Dark Matter costume designer Noreen Landry when I noticed the pictures of the dogs lining the back wall. How cute, I thought. A different dedicated dog for each episode. And then, on closer scrutiny, I realized that it was much more than that. Yes, a different dog for each…
July 2, 2015: Completing the Dark Matter Episode 103 overview!
1) I went through the vent. This is my favorite scene in this episode. A lot of nice little beats here, from FIVE's slow bullet spill to THREE's uncertain weighing of his guns. 2) You might want to hurry. This scene in the final cut is a shortened version of what was originally envisioned. From…

June 30, 2015: The Dark Matter episode 3 breakdown!
Picking up where we left off yesterday - let's continue our rundown of Dark Matter's third episode.. 1) So somebody in this room wiped our memories and probably killed that kid. TWO comes clean about what she's learned - the fact that someone did, in fact, upload a program into the stasis pods that targeted their memories.…

In the comic book, the assorted mugshots flash…
