Kill 'Em!: The Life and Times of Sam Peckinpah, which was published in 1994. Ira Steven Behr, a great fan of Peckinpah, read the book and arranged to meet Weddle, securing him a place on the writing staff with Weddle "being a shameless opportunist", as he himself admitted, making use of the opportunity to secure a place for his friend Thompson as well, whom he had met around 1978/79 when both were attending the .

Upon conclusion of the series, Weddle, together with partner Thompson, joined former Deep Space Nine colleague Ronald D. Moore as writer, executive story editor and co-producer on the latter's re-imagined Battlestar Galactica franchise, making, like he had done in Deep Space Nine, a cameo appearance in that series' by him co-written fourth season episode "". Weddle later reunited with Moore on For All Mankind.
Weddle has also written episodes for the later television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Falling Skies, Defiance. The Strain and For All Mankind, invariably in conjunction with partner Weddle. Their collaboration on Defiance reunited the pair again with former Deep Space Nine production staffers Gary Hutzel and Doug Drexler (who incidentally, had also worked as production regulars on Battlestar Galactica), whereas the pair was reunited with Moore, Naren Shankar, Joe Menosky and the Okuda couple on For All Mankind.
