March 22, 2015: Dark Chatter – The Aftershow! Behind the scenes on Dark Matter!

Thanks for the plumbing advice. ��I really should have consulted with you all from the start. ��A half dozen frenzied jams��of a handy plunger and the blockage was instantly dislodged, allowing the trapped water to finally run free – and right through the hole I put in the pipe with that coat hanger.

If this incident has taught me anything (besides “Try a plunger first before attempting to use a coat hanger to dislodge a blockage”), it’s that I don’t give you guys enough to credit. ��If I’d asked for your opinions sooner, that red bucket wouldn’t be a permanent fixture under my sink now. ��Now��I regret writing all those Dark Matter scripts without your input!

Hey, guess who I ran into yesterday? ��No, but close! ��I crossed paths with Julie Benz, Defiance‘s Mayor Amanda Rosewater, and we ended up talking about our respective shows, our upcoming premieres, and unicorns. ��Yes, unicorns. ��Anyway, Julie is very active on social media, spearheading Defiance‘s social media campaign, and she had some great advice on rallying the online fandom. ��A lot of it depends on you, dear blog readers, so I’ll be counting on your in the months ahead to help get the word out.

In the meantime, I’m thinking a live after-show would be great, a little online get-together where viewers can interact with the cast and crew, and get the behind-the-scene scoop on the series. ��I floated the possibility and received the following, brilliant, response on twitter:

Dark Chatter it is! ��Thanks, TF! ��Check back with this blog for more details!
