[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Can I hijack this thread to talk about the WGA strike?

Go for it, Tom, I say. I'm wondering how it'll effect a lot of stuff.

I know a lot of shows started production very early, and were desperately trying to get a full order out before the strike deadline. I'm not sure how successful they've been, but the studios have definitely been stocking up for a siege.

It does make me wonder, why bother striking if studios have already got production covered for the period?

This NYT article talks about the conflicted role that show-runners are in.
During the last Hollywood writers’ strike, which lasted for five months in 1988, it was the show runners who played a major role in ending the walkout, in part through their threat to secede from the writers’ union, according to news reports at the time.
Those show runners — also known as “hyphenates” because of their dual roles — often own production companies that are under contract with television studios, which are themselves often owned by the networks. Some writer-producers have privately expressed nervousness that if they do not come to work in any capacity, they could be in violation of their broader contracts and risk losing their production deals, which are essentially retainers that typically pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
