March 30, 2016: Name an episode of Dark Matter!

This year, we’re doing something special for the fans.  Well, let’s say “extra special” because, in truth, we’re always doing something “special”.  This season, YOU get to pick Dark Matter’s episode titles.  No, really.  To date, you’ve named seven episodes:

“Episode 14: Welcome To Your New Home”
“Episode 15: Kill Them All”
“Episode 16: I’ve Seen The Other Side Of You”
“Episode 17: We Were Family”
“Episode 18: We Voted Not To Space You”
“Episode 19: We Should Have Seen This Coming”
“Episode 20: She’s One Of Them Now”

And today, YOU get to pick another one – the title for Episode 208.  Choose wisely!

Polls close in 24 hours!

Speaking of which… The deadline for Hugo nominations is Friday, March 31st.  If you read something you loved, take the time nominate it (and its author).  I offered up a list of my favorite considerations in the running for the Best Short Story:

Did you get a chance to read any of them?  If so, which were YOUR favorites?

Well, talk about old times.  This latest episode has reunited me with fabulous director Peter DeLuise.  It’s been six years since we last worked together.  In the case of today’s guest star, Ross Hull, it’s been eight years since we last did THIS together –

And it’s been 18 years since we worked together on THIS –

We shot in an abandoned high school.  Paul and I worked out of a carpeted classroom where we occasionally played air hockey with the cast members during their down time.  We ended up writing about 25 of the show’s 65 episode run – and had an awesome time doing it.  Great cast, great crew, and a great trio of creator-producers (Michael Klinghoffer, Judy Spencer, and Alan Silberberg).

Who’s up for a Student Bodies marathon?!  Yeaaaaah!!!    

Me on set yesterday.  Yeah, those are safety glasses.  No, I’m not wearing them for any particular reason.  I just think they look nice.
