Buffy ,'Potential'
[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.
Call to action! Support the writers!
It's just an e-mail! Who knows where it came from??
There's a fan picket this Friday? Does that mean the fans come to help picket?
Yep. From what I've heard, fans are welcome to picket whenever, really, but there are some more organized days.
Updates regarding negotiations:
The TV industry braced Tuesday for what could become a long strike by writers, even as both sides returned to the bargaining table.
Leslie Moonves, chief executive officer of CBS Corp., told an investor conference in New York that he was hopeful, but "not terribly optimistic."
The two sides conceded there was likely to be ratings shortfalls if the five-week strike dragged on, Moonves said. Programming costs would fall as well, resulting in no significant financial impact to the network in the short to medium term, Moonves said.
Bargaining resumed in Los Angeles after a four-day recess, with a relatively scant $21 million separating contract proposals by studios and striking Hollywood writers.

Holy crap! Thanks for posting about your dentist appt, Allyson, I just remembered I have one in 35 minutes! Yikes!
I am currently trying to use Facebook to make me remember my dentist appt in the morning. It's that time of year?
It must be. My dentist appointment is tomorrow.
mac's is Sat.
Mine's next Saturday.
Oh phooey! I teach Friday from 10 to 2. But dang, I like the idea of picketing in support. At least it shows them fans are real people, etc.
There's also a Star Trek day on Monday. (hee)
I guess I should make a dentist appt. Anyone know a good one in West Hollywood?
