#DarkMatter Virtual Season 4 - Episode 4.02, Act V
Our story so far: josephmallozzi.wordpress.com/2018/06/24/jun…
VFX - SPACE
The G.A. shuttle streaks towards the rift, evading weapons fire from the alien ships. As it draws near -
Another ship exits the rift. It's the Marauder!
Onboard The Raza, Android detects the Marauder. SIX's voice comes over the comm channel, requesting permission to dock. As a jubilant FIVE responds, Android directs The Raza on an intercept course, providing cover fire for the Marauder as -
The G.A. shuttle is struck and begins to lose structural integrity. It drifts towards the event horizon and - detonates in a blinding flash, taking down out the rift and a handful of alien ships.
The Marauder docks. The Raza is rocked by sustained weapons fire from the approaching alien ships. Once the Android has confirmed the Marauder is safely aboard, The Raza jumps to FTL and make good its escape.
An elated FIVE is reunited with SIX outside the airlock, throwing her arms around the big man and almost knocking him off his feet. Wexler and Tash's reunion is decidedly more restrained. A nod and "Hey" countered by a "Hey" and nod back.
The Raza docks at a space station.
Anders leaves them, vowing to stay in touch and update them on the movements of the remaining alien ships.
Tash bids SIX a fond farewell. With Alt. Portia and Boone M.I.A., she's now in command of the Alt. Android and their ship.
Wexler pitches TWO for why he should stick around. Portia, Boone, and Ferrous Corp will be gunning for him and Truffault's not returning his calls. It's chaos out there and he's proven he can help. TWO allows him to stay. But she's keeping him on a short leash. As for Ryo...
TWO and the Android pay Ryo a visit. Has he decided? He says he has.
He steps out of his quarters to find the rest of the crew waiting for him - THREE, FIVE, SIX and, now, Wexler. Their expressions convey an array of emotions: uncertainty, pity, hope.
The crew escorts Ryo to the transit pods. The Android reminds Ryo that the procedure is not without risk, but he is past caring. Ryo addresses his former crew mates with a final message: "I'm sorry." Then, he gets into the pod. The procedure begins...
END OF EPISODE
Next on #DarkMatter Virtual Season 4 - Episode 4.02:
The alien invasion escalates, FIVE reaches out to her sister Carina, FOUR's return is bittersweet, and a shocking betrayal stuns the crew of The Raza.

Top 10 Running Gags in #Stargate SG-1
10. Blue Jello
What’s the deal? Well, it was simply something the prop department whipped up one day that stood out, both for its neon properties and sheer ridiculousness, quickly becoming a comically beloved visual staple. Image

9. O'Neill's obsession with The Simpsons
RDA was a huge fan of the show. After guesting on SG-1 and hitting it off with Rick, actor Dan Castellanetta wrote a Stargate/RDA-themed episode of The Simpsons to which Rick lent his voice talents. Image

8. Pineapples
If you’re watching Stargate and ever happen to catch sight of a pineapple, there’s a good chance the episode you’re viewing was directed by long-time Stargate director Will Waring. The pineapples were his signature visual. Image

Audition Advice for Actors
- from my 20 years of casting roles ranging from series regulars to dialogueless agonizing death-screamers. A few thoughts and hopefully helpful suggestions. 1/
You spent all weekend studying those sides, preparing for that audition. And then, when the day comes, you NAIL IT! You head home feeling great, certain you got the role. You tell your friends, you significant other, your mom (She’s been a longtime fan). You're feeling great! 2/
Until the next day when your agent calls you to inform you the role went to someone else. 3/

The idea of creating your own big budget sci-fi epic may have seemed far-fetched years ago, but now the prospect grows increasingly less preposterous with the rapid advancements in A.I. 1/
indiewire.com/2023/04/joe-ru…
As Artificial Intelligence evolves and refines, we'll see technological breakthroughs across the board - breakthroughs that will quickly drive down the costs of production as more efficiencies are realized and once costly and time-consuming processes will become achievable. 2/
And how will that change the industry? Well, there has been a lot of talk about how A.I. may one day replace creators but, realistically, we're a long way from the day when A.I. can craft intricate plots, compelling characters, and deliver humor. 3/

The latest scandal to rock Japan centers on an act of "sushi terrorism", so named because it involves video of a teen licking a communal soy sauce bottle, the rim of a tea cup, and a passing order of nigiri at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. 1/ theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…
The restaurant where the incident took place is part of the Sushiro chain. Its parent company saw its stock drop 5% (roughly 5.7 billion dollars worth) on the heels of the breaking news. The prank video has been viewed over 40 million times. 2/ dimsumdaily.hk/stock-price-of…
This is reminiscent of a 2019 incident that saw a teen film herself licking the top of a Blue Bell Ice Cream container before depositing it back in the store's freezer. She was caught, fined, and sentenced to some modest jail time. 3/ nbcnews.com/news/us-news/w…

SHOWRUNNING 101
You've just landed your first show running gig. Congratulations! Allow me to offer a little advice distilled from my own experience. Hopefully there’s something here that may prove useful in helping you navigate these uncharted waters. 1/
PREP YOUR WRITERS' ROOM
Take two weeks before the room convenes to come up with your creative frame. What are your narrative arcs? What are the major plot points and character beats you want to see realized? Things can change, but it helps to have a plan going in. 2/
FOSTER A POSITIVE WRITERS’ ROOM
Create a supportive atmosphere. Make everyone feel welcome. Invite dissenting opinions. Have fun. And don’t overwork your team. Keeping things positive and your writers well-rested is a creatively rewarding strategy. 3/

With the news that the Washington football team is changing its name, I thought that this would be an opportune time to weigh in with some suggestions. Suggestions that stand apart. 1/9
You’ll have your standards (Tigers, Bulldogs, Wildcats) and your regional go-to’s (Senators, Presidents, Lobbyists and Swamp Things), but I’d like to recommend something more original. Syrup Makers? Battling Bathers? Nimrods? Banana Slugs? Alas, all taken at some point. 2/9
In order to find the perfect name, one that strikes fear in the hearts of the enemy while simultaneously ensuring you don’t infringe on the copyright of a Midwest community college, I have dug deep into the archives of mythological history to unearth the following five gems. 3/9
