Well good if it's over now maybe we can see some cool films and shows come back.
Also if you were a company who just a month ago paid them with the Interim Agreements thing wouldn't you be a little pissed now? :lol:

Re: The strike is on. The S is O!!
no, because I would have been making money for a month that the other writers hadn't been making, and will revert to the consensus deal when that happens.

Re: The strike is on. The S is O!!
True but I figured a month is just talking about what to do. plus they don't really make money till the film is complete. I thought they would be pretty mad they just pissed away some money for a month.
But that was just my thinking. (oh and I was on about the companies that did not the writers)

Over on the Newsarama boards, Marc Guggenheim, Kevin Huxford and Dan Slott have been going back and forth over screenwriter Marc Guggenheim's supportive advice to Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada about crossing a picket line to appear on The Colbert Report during the WGA strike..
Marc is a WGA member. Kevin is a union supporter. Dan Slott is, well, Dan Slott.
It all got rather heated. And then Kevin revealed that he had reported Marc Guggenheim to the WGA board for his actions, for not encouraging people to support the strike through boycott.
In the wake of criticism as a result, Kevin has chosen to close down his Newsarama profile and contributions to the Newsarama-linked Shotgun reviews.
Apparently posting online can have real-life consequences. Why didn't anyone tell me that?

Q: What happens next?
A: Writers Guild board members on Sunday urged the 10,500 striking members to ratify a new three-year agreement with the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers, a group negotiating on behalf of major studios. Members will vote Tuesday to suspend the strike pending ratification of the contract, and are expected to log onto their laptops Wednesday, 100 days after turning them off. (Executive producers of TV shows, however, can go back today.)
Q: How will TV reboot after the strike?
A: Most prime-time series will need six to eight weeks to write, produce and edit new episodes, but a handful of series (The Office, Two and a Half Men, Desperate Housewives) have one or two scripts nearly ready, which could shorten that time frame.
With few exceptions, most top series will come back between mid-April and early May and air four to six new episodes. Some networks want to keep shooting new shows, hoping to keep them on the air into June to help win back viewers, or store up extra episodes for late summer or fall, partly as insurance against a possible actors' strike June 30. That goal might be hampered because of budgeting problems or stars' film commitments. And serialized dramas will have a harder time for creative reasons.
NBC's Heroes will wait for fall, because of the expense and hurdles of filming a few episodes with a self-contained story. Fox's 24 will produce the remaining 16 episodes of its planned season this spring, to avoid losing options on its actors, but the drama won't return till next January.
"We have to have some kind of abbreviated wrap-up for some shows," says producer Greg Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters). "And for others we're going to have to create the beginning of a new season" in unexpected places. "It's challenging creatively, but it could also end up being inspiring."
But not all shows will return right away: Some newcomers that are neither hits nor flops, such as Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Chuck and Life, are expected to get new-episode orders but won't be back until fall.

Re: The strike is on. The S is O!!
Good news. Glad to see I can expect to see more new Lost this year, and also probably new Battlestar Galactica not only in March/April this year, but possibly fall of this year for the remaining 10 episodes to be filmed of BSG Season 4. No more Heroes till next fall, but thats ok, as Volume 2 did get a chance to wrap up. I just hope Volume/Season 3 is stronger than 2 was. All in all, its a good thing the strike is over. I was dying with all the reality shows, game shows, and reruns.
