Ailleann, I don't disagree. Cuse has already gone on record and said he doesn't want ABC to air the episodes from Feb 2008 (as they are planning) as he thinks the show could 'canteen out of control'. Which sounds to me like he thinks it already sucks ass to me. I suppose you could argue he could make it good during post production.
Personal opinion: if you aim to strike and not damage anything for either side, you aren't going to get what you want. Not near. And that's not with regards to writing or studios, as I know nothing, that's from strikes of yester year.

Then the voting began. There was even a vote about the vote -- whether it had to be unanimous or not.
I know there are Buffistas who are members of the WGA, but I didn't know the WGA was run by Buffistas.
Did anybody vote No Preference?

I had the exact same thought when I read this!

Ha! My thought was "hey, it's not just us!"
You could also email me if you didn't feel like making it public.

It sounds to me like he's going in to make sure the final product turns out okay.
Yes. If he wasn't there, someone else would do the final cut. It might not be done the way he'd like, and that's why it's a sucky position to be in, but it would get done.
If the strike succeeds, he'll benefit from a sacrifice other showrunners made, and which he undercut. Publicly. He didn't have to talk to a reporter about it.
And there's also the part where, by saying "We feel we owe that to our fans," he's implying that other showrunners don't feel that obligation. That probably wasn't the intention, but that's why "maybe he was trying to be diplomatic" doesn't work to well for me.
Oh, and after some digging... it wasn't the Times, it was the WSJ: [link]
