The elderly lady beside me stepped up to the display table, dipped a chip into the sauce, and popped it into her mouth. As she chewed, her face contorted and she made a noise, sort of a cross between a whoop and a wail. She muttered something and marched off in a huff. "She was…

If I had to make a list of MY Top 10 Favorite Dark Matter Episodes, season 2's penultimate episode, "Sometimes In Life You Don't Get To Choose" would undoubtedly make the list. It's a great Ryo Ishida episode and Alex Mallari Jr. does some of his best work ever here, negotiating a minefield of memories…

To those of you wondering - Yes, I may be relaxing, but I haven't given up on giving you an ending to Dark Matter. While a fourth season isn't in the cards, I still hold out hope for a mini-series somewhere, somewhen down the line. Alternately, I've reached out about a possible comic book continuation…

We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday with my cousins...and special guest Anthony Lemke who, it turns out, lives three houses over! My family loves his character on Dark Matter but, after spending the afternoon with him, loves HIM even more. If they could adopt him, I'm sure the paperwork would have already been started. Another walk…

Here's your chance to win a memento from Dark Matter, one of Syfy's most-watched scripted shows and most watched sci-fi series of 2017. Normally, we'd reward you with another season of your favorite show but, since that's not possible, we're offering up props, costumes, and swag! November 15 is the deadline to get your "What…

In truth, pretty damn close. So often, you'll hear stories long after the fact. Like how Apple almost brought Stargate: SG-1 back for an iTunes exclusive 11th and final season. Or how Canada's Space Channel attempted to save Stargate: Universe. But in this case, the events are fairly recent - a last ditch effort to…

So, yesterday I gave a shout-out to the gang at MGM who reached out to me in an effort to save Dark Matter. Today, another shout-out. This one for a former syfy executive, Chris Regina, who was the channel's point man on the series for Dark Matter's three year run. He was a tireless promoter…

So, yes, in addition to the scheduled general meet and greets, I'll be teaming up with my friend (and former fellow Dark Matter Executive Producer) Vanessa Piazza to pitch Masked while in L.A. Editor Lou Anders assembled a diverse selection of tales that focus as much on the individuals behind the masks as they do…

One of my favorite episodes of Dark Matter's first season was Episode 110. Written by my longtime producing partner, Paul Mullie, it saw the introduction of a team even more mercenary and ruthless than our lovable anti-villains. In Episode 111, a fan favorite, TWO takes back the ship (with a little help from FIVE) and…

I've been amazed by the obvious love Dark Matter fandom has demonstrated for the show, through the time and effort everyone spent online - tweeting, rallying, generating artwork that has positively wowed everyone from cast members to crew. I've featured a lot of that artwork here on the blog over these past few weeks. Today,…

"Your writing partner likes to tweet." - Pointed observance made by an executive to my long-time writing/producing partner on his recent trip to L.A. Well, yes and no. No insofar as I hate the 140 character limit and don't really find twitter a suitable medium for relaying opinions and in-depth information outside of links. But…

In the three years I worked on Dark Matter, I made some wonderful friends and accomplished many great things, but one of my biggest take-aways from my time on the show was the impressive amount of knowledge and experience I garnered in the world of whiskies. It started back in season 1 after Blindspot Executive…

Well, this is a lovely article that speaks to what many fans loved about Dark Matter: the characters at the heart of the show...

Apparently, it's Dark Matter Family Day on twitter, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say hello and thanks to our extended Dark Matter family - cast, crew, production personnel, and fans. While others may conspire to keep us apart, it's nice to see the familiar spirit that was the heart of the show…

Over the course of my three years show running Dark Matter, I've given shout-outs to the various individuals whose talent and commitment to their craft made it all possible. I've referenced the cast, the crew, and the post-production personnel who made coming to work every day such a delight. Chiefest among them was Vanessa Piazza -…
