October 19, 2010: Stargate: Universe, "Pathogen", tonight at 9:00 p.m. on SyFy!

Just got the live+7 numbers for Intervention, the season 2 premiere.  Wow.  We jumped 78% from the live number, about 40% from the liv+SD.  That's a lot of eyeballs.  Of course that isn't even counting those who are viewing the show through alternate platforms (ie. netflix, iTunes, and other download options).

Merely a point of interest.

Well, finally completed work on that cursed script – surprisingly those last two acts were relatively painless – and passed the first draft off to my writing partner, Paul, to work his magic.  I've never been so relieved to write those glorious two words "FADE" and "OUT".

Hey, going through my backlog of pics, I came across some of the early design work on the aliens the crew encountered in Awakening (a.k.a. the Telford aliens, a.k.a. the Ursini)…

The early look was very cool, but my main concern was ensuring the creatures possessed a certain vulnerability. The teeth had to go and the face needed to be more expressive.

The idea that these creatures could leap and crawl along walls was something we had fun with in the episode.

The face is more expressive and we get an early look at a potential uniform (otherwise we would have had to pixelate its privates for the sensitive viewing public).

It's alien night in this galaxy's favorite S&M club!  Why invest in a whip when you have that tail?





I say, sirrah.  Fancy a spot of tea?





Close to the finished version.

Mark Savela and the VFX crew took James Robbins' alien design and did an unbelievable job of bringing it to life.  And I do mean unbelievable!

Thanks to dioxholster for the upload.
