Writers Strike

regrettable,

Ashmin I love your avatar it reminds me of Currier & Ives. In response to your question: I've been thinking a lot about the writers' plight. As a writer/creative person I believe that whatever effort they put in should be compensated appropriately. And it is no secret that producers and studios and parent companies get a disproportionate cut of the sweat and tears of the creative people without whom there would be no producers, studios or parent companies. So whatever the writer's guild needs to do to achieve a good balance that they are happy with is fine by me. As a self-proclaimed entertainment industry connoisseur, I shudder at the thought of just one week without my various beloved serials and episodes. Bones, Supernatural and Numb3rs to name a few. Without a doubt none of them will have enough material to last the season. Hopefully the strike will not involve overseas counterparts like BBCAmerica. So by January at least I can be enjoying new episodes of Torchwood and Hotel Babylon and can continue to enjoy Secret Diary of a Call Girl. But for the most part until the strike is over I support the writers in their efforts and will try to make due with reruns and what is already on my dvr hard drive. That's yet another plug for Tivo. Great topic.
