June 6, 2015: 6 Days to the Dark Matter Premiere! Sneak peek and behind the scene goodies!

The excitement continues to mount as we approach the Dark Matter premiere, less than a week away (Friday, 10 p.m. on SyFy/Space)!  I'll be live-tweeting the event with various to-be-announced cast members, pulling double duty with both the east and west coast airings.  Who'd like to join us? A slightly different Dark Matter trailer from Space Channel: https://www.facebook.com/SPACEchannel/videos/10153037388371225/ Some…

May 31, 2015: Dark Matter episode #101 review! The gang from the production office take over the bridge!

The advance reviews for Dark Matter are going to start rolling in.  Here's one from Aimee Hicks at Spoilertv.com: http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/05/dark-matter-pilot-advance-preview.html Dark Matter makes another must watch list.    15 Shows You Need To Watch This Summer: http://www.lolwot.com/15-shows-you-need-to-watch-this-summer/ See, this is why we need 24 hour security.  When no one was looking, the gang from the production offices gained…

May 29, 2015: Two weeks to the Dark Matter world premiere! A Jelly update!

"If this series not popular, I really can't believe." - Akemi last night after watching the producer's cut of episode #113, our season finale. Her words echo the sentiments of my writing partner who said pretty much the same thing, in less economical fashion, after viewing prod cuts of our first two episodes: "So, having seen…

May 9, 2015: Your Dark Matter primer! The crew! The designs! And the dogs!

Here's your crew.  And to find out a little about them, head on over to the SyFy UK homepage for the breakdown: http://www.syfy.co.uk/galleries/drifting-in-space-with-no-memory-of-who-they-are-or-their-names-meet-the-dark-matter-crew And, while you're there, check out some of the early concept designs for the show... http://www.syfy.co.uk/galleries/feast-your-eyes-on-this-dark-matter-concept-art-introduced-by-exec-producer-joe-mallozzi I was in at 8:30 this morning for our final Saturday production day! Meanwhile, back on the…

April 6, 2015: Day #3 of our Four Days of Tabor Calchek feature! Enjoying the great outdoors on Dark Matter episode #109!

I admire people who dress like they just don't care - what other people think. Lady Gaga.  Don Cherry.  And, of course, Dark Matter's Tabor Calchek.  I knew the gang in wardrobe was going to have a lot of fun dressing him - maybe, I suspected, a little too much fun.  So it was with a certain…

March 15, 2015: A trip to the post office! Mailbag! Stargate! Dark Matter! And Cloverblob!

"Girls who like Cinderella have nightmare marriage.  Statistics show.  It's data!" - Akemi today, on our walk back home from lunch. I guess it makes sense. Today also saw us visit the post office so that Akemi could sense her dad a chocolate shipment.  Apparently, his stock is running low. Of course no overseas shipment…

July 8, 2012: 6 Days to Comic Con! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Michael!

Heading to Comic Con in a little less than a week to do a signing for my comic book, Dark Matter, and I thought it would be nice to offer those who swing by a shot at winning some cool giveaways.  In addition to copies of Dark Matter's first issue, I'll also be offering up a…

June 27, 2012: Days of Stargate Atlantis Past! Runner! Duet!

Meetings, meetings, meetings.  My head is spinning.  It's a wonder I was able to get any work done today - but I did, completing a couple of new scenes for the horror script.  One more and I'm more or less done. Up on tap tomorrow: yet another meeting, some document reviews, completing that last scene…

June 26, 2012: Days of Stargate Atlantis Past! Resuming our trip down SGA memory lane as we reflect back on the show’s second season! Siege III! Intruder!

Alrighty.  Continuing our reminiscences of Stargate: Atlantis.  When last we left our stalwart heroes, it was the end of the show's first season and the city of Atlantis was under siege (so this is one of those rare occasions when the episode title actually made sense) by a relentless enemy: the wraith. SIEGE III (201) Season…

June 12, 2012: Pirates! Days of Stargate Past – Atlantis! Home and The Storm! Pick your favorite Stargate mid-season two-parter and WIN!

You know you're in a skeevy neighborhood when a grown man tries to sell you six of his hand-drawn pirate pictures for five dollars.  I had parked the car around the corner from Akemi's language school and was hanging around out front, waiting for her class to finish, when I was approached by a fellow…

June 10, 2012: Misery! Comic Con! Days of Stargate Past – Atlantis! Poisoning the Well and Underground!

Last night, Akemi and I watched Misery.  It was her first time, my...what is it now...twelfth?  It's my favorite Stephen King movie and last night's screening further cemented it as one of my top ten favorite films of all time. Brilliant performances, a tightly plotted script, and some of the most excruciatingly suspenseful sequences ever…

July 26, 2008: The Broken Ties Breakdown

I’d like to thank John Picacio for an entertaining and very informative guest entry. As someone who possesses the drawing and design skills of a six year old, I am in awe of John’s talent. I’ll be ordering myself a copy of Cover Story: The Art of John Picacio (containing over 180 images of John’s…
