Joseph Mallozzi – Executive Producer Stargate franchise, Dark Matter
A fan
As a longtime fan of Stargate SG1 and Stargate Universe I’d come to really appreciate so many elements of the storytelling that were done—the continuity, the characters, the character interaction, the dialogue, the growth, the well-done sets, the subtle and non-jarring humor, and more. As someone who writes, I enjoyed on a whole different level.
So you can imagine that I had both the pleasure and honor of sitting down with Joseph Mallozzi, the Executive Producer and writer for Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, and Dark Matter in which he is the Show Runner (he literally runs the show).
Our chat
We covered everything from character development, to his thoughts on music, the untimely cancellation of Dark Matter on season three (a show I’d only recently discovered and thoroughly enjoyed), his journey as a writer, what it means to have a writing partner, the challenges of writing a movie script versus writing for an episodic series, the difference between science fiction and fantasy and why he is very much not a fan of the latter,
He was a very kind and energetic guest, and I just keep getting lucky with having people like him on my show.
It was not only informative and fascinating, but some moments were actually touching (e.g. discussing cancellation of Dark Matter and it’s affect on both him and the cast and crew. He clearly is not only passionate about is creative work, but cares about the cast and crew). I truly appreciated his openness, willingness to share and vulnerability when needed.
There are one million topics I would have loved to cover with him things like AI in both the real world and how it affects writing and it’s use by certain authors as well as its implementation in sci-fi, his loves outside of writing, and who this Sharky person is.
Hopefully he will return for another episode and even better, I can take him up on his offer to have dinner.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
My Patreon will have some video excerpts from the discussion.
Note that this transcript may have errors due to sounds and interpretation variations. I have edited it to add some of the headings as well as links to things mentioned, but editing for accuracy and grammar is not fruitful in a normal conversation. Hopefully you gave this a listen!
