Finally, the weekend is here!  For most of us.  But, for director Amanda Tapping and the Dark Matter crew, it was…not quite!  Their weekend doesn’t begin until tomorrow because, today, they were back on set shooting Day#4 of Episode #201.

December 12, 2015: Dark Matter Episode 201 Day 4!  Yes, On A Saturday!

Executive Producer Paul Mullie and Director Amanda Tapping all smiles.  What better way to spend a Saturday?

What, exactly,  are we looking at here?

Crew blocking, scene 21.

Today was the first day/episode for THIS Stargate alum who I’d been wanting to cast since early last season.  In retrospect, it turned out for the best because I can’t imagine anyone else playing this character.  In fact, when I created the character, I did so with THIS performer in mind.  Who am I talking about?  Well, you’ll have to wait for the press release coming your way next week.

 Hey!  Look at who dropped by today to say hi to the dogs!

Bubba and Jodelle reconnect.

And Jodelle came bearing gifts: a pug ornament for Akemi…

And a donut toy Lulu laid claim to.  Four hours later, and she’s still playing with it.

  1. Executive Producer Paul Mullie and Director Amanda Tapping all smiles. Who is lovelier, Paul and his beautiful eyes or the gracefull Amanda Tapping. I think it’s a tie. What, exactly, are we looking at here? Looks like a heat lamp. Are you turning up the heat on someone? Crew blocking, scene 21. Why are they doing that? Are they mad? Are they protesting something? Tell them to get out of the way. Bubba and Jodelle reconnect. Smart Bubba has a back-up plan. Inspired by FIVE – Akemi’s hair. Twins!!

    😉

  2. Great photo of Paul Mullie and Amanda Tapping 😄

    What exactly are we looking at here?
    >The view from the ceiling looking down into the solitary confinement cell? (love the lighting effect)

    There’s too many fantastic Stargate alumni to choose from! But, I’ve got to take a punt, would be a crime not to 😙
    There’s a little group gathering here, maybe the entourage for the prison Warden taking him to ‘meet and greet’ the new batch of inmates?
    The part of the Warden – Robert Picardo!
    (So looking forward to all these teaser reveals)

    It’s my birthday on 17th, if the press release was on that day, that’d be a nice birthday pressie!

  3. Such happy faces! It does look like a wonderful Saturday. I spent much of mine putting up my kitchen holiday decor with my husband, and catching up on the DVR backlog.

  4. What, exactly, are we looking at here?

    hmmmmm no idea. Albeit whoever thought it up designed the back panel inside it to resemble a brightly lit up digital car stereo.

    Maybe? its part of some kind of new transport device using radio frequencies.

    Looks like everyone’s having a really fun day on the set 🙂

    Yay! Go Dark Matter season 2! and The Happiest Of Holidays to all her cast and crew! xo

  5. It’s nice to wake up and see such happy faces! Love Lulu and her donut. Thanks for brightening up my day!!!!

  6. I’ve been hoping all along for Mike Dopud and David Blue. I don’t know how full Mike’s schedule is on Cedar Cove, or whether he’s filming on the east coast or west. He might be hard to get. Sadly, David has had minimal work since SGU. He could really use the work. He’s lost all that weight and muscled up, and grew a beard to age his baby face, so he doesn’t look like Eli Wallace anymore.

  7. I’m with you @MrsTigercat and would love to see Mike Dopud.

    He’s just been filming in TO for the last couple of days – maybe it really was to shoot some scenes for DM? Now, that’d be so cool 😊

  8. A Saturday Hi Five!
    All working hard I see… Can you ask the crew to move as I can’t see the action. I can’t guess which Stargate alum it could be … I have ideas… It would be good if it’s ##. Be bril if its…*** (I learn from the master!) I guess I’ll just have to wait … again….
    That overhead view of solitary confinement is looking very intriguing. Who’s going to be in it and for what, and for how long??

    Bubba and the girls look like they’re getting into the happy hols mood already 😊

  9. ok had a second look. it shows on the panel, sys hd. So it must be an audio visual device of the future.

    hope you are enjoying your Sunday 🙂

  10. I’m glad Lulu has a gorgeous new Homer sized donut with sprinkles. Stargate alum, hm. I feel like I’ve missed a clue in a previous blog. Interesting. Tell us who!

  11. @MrsTigerCat Cedar Cove was oddly cancelled. It was the #1 rated cable show on Saturdays, and it was cancelled. So all the SG alumni who were on there are now totally available.

    About “what are you looking at?” The dial to the torture chamber.

    Bubba looks so happy reuniting and Lulu does look like she loves that toy. Cutie pies.
