(Joseph Mallozzi's blog, David Hewlett's blog, David Nykl's blog) "Day two of production means our first day of dailies (a.k.a. the previous day’s footage).

Some wonderfully way-out sequences in this one as well as some effectively creepy scenes as well, not to mention the full-contact extreme Shep whumpage in this one. This one is a lot of fun and, believe me, you cannot wait to see it! But, alas, you’ll have to." (Joseph Mallozzi's March 19 blog)
