i'd be worried if i were Minear-ed though...
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[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.

What is even happening?
I seem to have been promoted to Picket Coordinator. I think it happened when I sorted and stacked our picket signs by size and content.
Kristen, I'm glad to see you've added upper-body conditioning to your strike-your-way-to fitness plan.

Strike Outlaw? Lost Showrunner Returns to Work.
Whatever you think about the writers strike, ya gotta feel for guys like Lost writer-producer Carlton Cuse. As a writer, he's on strike. But as a producer... mmm. Not so much. So even though he's a member of the WGA's negotiating committee, he's returning to work, at least to do some post-production on the eight episodes that have already been shot. "We feel we owe that to our fans," he tells the New York Times. "We would harm our franchise if we didn't do it ourselves."

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I see people are nice and supportive in the comments..

I've read so much about the strike that most of it is jumbled in my head. I seem to recall reading though, that because show-runners were joining in this time, the WGA was in a stronger bargaining position than in '88. It's a shame to see someone like Cuse break ranks. It's got to be demoralizing. Why is "the franchise" more important than all the writers who depend on residuals to put food on their tables between jobs -- writers who will never get the dosh or name recognition of a Cuse? Scab.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, there are all those other people who depend on Lost for a job.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm amazed at comments about the writers "letting down the fans," when it seems blatantly obvious that this is the time the writers need the fans to not let them down.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
If you can keep the show together so it survives the strike that seems like a worthwhile consideration for everybody.
Not cut and dried by any means -- in either direction.

I understand that, but his reason stated in TV Guide (which seems to be reporting on a New York Times piece) is: "We feel we owe that to our fans," he tells the New York Times. "We would harm our franchise if we didn't do it ourselves."

He probably thinks both.
