[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.
"Eureka" Will be affected.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
just a little perturbed about Sami getting ready to marry her rapist on DAYS
That shit again? People handwaved it in the 80's when it was Luke and Laura. I am really disappointed in DAYS. I used to watch it religiously.
I need to step awaaaay from the internets. Whenever I see a post about how the writers are greedy and shitty people, I get all, "THAT'S MY KRISTEN YOU DOUCHEBAG!" And then i have to choke a bitch.
Hmph.
I was at a wedding last night where the best man was a screenwriter. He made a point of saying he was making his speech up as he went along.
So freaking LA.
Shawn Ryan on his showrunner and writer/producer duties and the strike:

Wow.
Ouch. That's some shitty timing. I don't even watch The Shield, and I want this strike to end quickly so he can work on the series finale, just on principle. That really blows.
The soap operas will hit harder. When they go next week or so, that'll piss some people off.
not so much, actually. Days, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful and As the World Turns have enough scripts to take them through at least january, while Guiding Light could be OK for another month beyond that. One Life to Live, General Hospital and All My Children are also are set through the beginning of the year.
people are actually blaming the writers? WTF??

There are some people who are of the opinion that writers are all Very Rich. There was a bit in the press the other day about the average writer earning $200k a year or some such.

Rolls. Eyes. Forever.
$200k a year in LA isn't exactly rolling in the dough though, is it? plus, what Kristin said. i don't see how wanting to get paid for something they created makes them the bad guy in this scenario.
