September 30, 2020: And one from the Dark Matter vault!

Those who know me know that I’m a huge anime fan. Back in Vancouver, my collection was 3000 dvd’s deep. So it should come as no surprise that Dark Matter was heavily influenced by the genre, everything from the character of FOUR and his connection to the Principality of Zairon to FIVE who is a kindred spirit to Cowboy Bebop’s Radical Edward. One of my favorite visuals from the world of anime is the tiny girl with the giant gun, seen in the likes of Iria from Iria Zeiram the Animation, Seras Victoria in Hellsing, and, most recently, Mine and her beloved Pumpkin in Akame Ga Kill. During the season 1 gallery shoot, Jodelle was posing for photos when I handed her a prop – Bubba, THREE’s oversized gun, and we snapped a bunch of pics. Seeing her wielding that oversized weapon, I realized I would have to write it into an upcoming season 2 story.

Hey, if you ever get the chance, you should definitely check out the Dark Matter subreddit.  Lots of great discussions and posts from fellow Dark Matter fans.  Like this one I found particularly touching…

Wholesome content and the purity of platonic relationships. ( Five + guys) [ SPOILERS] from DarkMatter

Amazing people with whom I have worked…

Kimberly Zaharo was the Art Director on our first season of #DarkMatter (before moving on to productions like 11.22.63, Downsizing, and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. She is, in a word, "terrific". pic.twitter.com/S0Mzre4yl9

David B. Thompson is an amazing editor with whom I have worked over the years. HIs credits include #Bitten, #DarkMatter and, most recently, #FortunateSon. His in-home editing suite also makes him the ideal editor for these pandemic times. pic.twitter.com/itEPd5Ltct

One of my very favorite recurring characters on #Stargate #SG1 was Colonel Harry Maybourne, played to roguish perfection by the incredible Tom McBeath. pic.twitter.com/5bmbPzaKWd

Ben Cotton (@bengcotton) played the role of the vexatious Dr. Kavanagh on #StargateAtlantis, a character you loved to hate (and maybe would have hated to love had the show gone a sixth season?). A talented and very busy actor! pic.twitter.com/7sP20kbwqF

Anna Galvin played the roles of the doomed Dr. Reya Varrick in SG-1's "Collateral Damage" and the tormented Mrs. Armstrong in SGU. But my favorite performance was her turn as the mysterious Vanessa Conrad in SGA's "Remnants". #Stargate pic.twitter.com/umQjvbvPoW
