You could also email me if you didn't feel like making it public.

[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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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]

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
The guy is on the WGA negotiating committee, and he's crossing the picket line. The guy is a showrunner, makes millions of dollars, has a hit show that's in no danger of being cancelled, and he's stabbing his fellow writers and showrunners in the back. IMO, he's the scum of the earth.
But that might just be me.

AND! He's part of the leadership that pushed for this strike, that marketed for this strike, that called people and asked for their support for this strike.
Scum.

Thrive to spite them
That's horrible! The Lost guy not hte gift bags, the gift bags rock.
I can't believe that he'd encourage everyone to strike and then at the least little bit of sign difficulty just break ranks.

At first I was "feeling for" Cuse, but after the last few posts I've changed my mind - the guy is an asshat. He's totally fucking the other showrunners who are letting their babies get mutilated for the sake of the strike.
Just because it's a hard decision, doesn't mean there isn't a right and wrong.
