So I walked into the office the other day to discover a glowering Carl seated at his desk. Now, usually, it takes him the better part of the morning to work his way up to a full glower but, on this particular day, Carl was already there the second I walked in. When I asked [...]

October 30, 2009: No, not yet! Spinning along! The perils of being an extra! And yet another mailbag!
Posted in Uncategorized on October 30, 2009 | 115 Comments »
Nah, I don’t want to get into it today either. Soon though. Despite another sleepless night, I was able to contribute to a fairly productive afternoon spin session in which we cemented the first half of season 2 and worked out further details on those initial five stories. Looks like I won’t be doing episode [...]
October 29, 2009: Rescheduling My Rant! Final Day of Production! More Mailbag!

I can’t remember the last time I had a good night’s sleep. Even though I’m exhausted by the time I turn off the lights, I’m so wound up that it takes me forever to actually doze off. And, when I finally, I’m only out for an hour or two before I’m awake again. I’ll eventually [...]

Today we bid a fond see-ya-later to the wonderful Jamil Walker-Smith, SGU’s resident warrior – Sergeant Ronald Greer. It seems like just yesterday we were watching his F bomb-studded audition stream (THAT got our attention!), marveling at his incredible onscreen presence. His unique charm completely won us over (and him the part), then continued to [...]

Boy, that was fast! It seems like just yesterday we were touring the half-constructed Destiny set over on Stage 4, watching it all come together and working on scripts for Stargate: Universe’s first season. Suddenly, it’s nine months later, we’re finishing up production on year one and already thinking ahead to next season. This week, [...]

Over the course of the past three years I’ve been doing this blog, fans have sent me all sorts of goodies: cards, cookies, chocolate, chestnuts, pictures, lint rollers, shirts, videos, CD’s and the occasional highly recommended read. About a year ago, someone (Please, refresh my memory whoever you are) sent me a pack of books. [...]
October 25, 2009: The SGU Season 1 Wrap Party!

So, last night was the Stargate: Universe wrap party. The writing department kicked things off with dinner at Blue Water. We lost my writing partner Paul and his wife somewhere between main course and dessert (he was feeling under the weather) , then headed up the street to Goldfish, the site of the bash. Around [...]
October 24, 2009: A Guest Rant and Some News of Note!
Posted in Uncategorized on October 24, 2009 | 57 Comments »
Today’s guest rant comes compliments of my writing partner, Paul, who phoned me up last night to slam the Canadian news for its insistence on playing fast and loose with the rules of time travel. Multiple times over the past few days, CTV has referred to Ancient Greece as though it were a potential vacation [...]

Le Mailbag du Jour: Kiwiclare writes: “Oh Joe, that video was brilliant. How did you keep a straight face? Poor Carl!!” Answer: Keeping a straight face was ease. The tricky part was keeping my face from blossoming to a rosy red. That stuff is killer. RebeccaH. Writes: “You do realize Carl Binder is never going [...]
