Strike Talk:
So, the elephant in the room is SAG. How can they film shows through June if SAG is scheduled to strike in June?
[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.

Really, really fast.
ETA: To be serious, I think that, were the WGA strike to end soon, there would be a flurry of production between now and June 30. For shows that are coming back next season, I expect they wouldn't air the newly produced episodes this season but, instead, will hold them for the Fall. So if SAG does indeed go on strike, they'll have programming for Fall.
What will happen with new shows is anyone's guess. I suspect a handful of new projects may get a small episode order and go straight into production. Instead of the usual way of making pilots and then deciding what will go to series.
Oh, Austin, I will get you to love me... blah blah blah.
Oddly, I dreamed of Austin last night, where he was a former coworker who came to some work party, and I couldn't remember his real name and kept calling him Austin. After yesterday's discussions, I'd've expected Drake Hogestyn, or even Matthew Ashford (them being my two favorites), but Austin? WTF?

Well, that perked my day right the hell up. Then I saw the context.
I'd've expected Drake Hogestyn,
I had a TREMENDOUS crush of Drake Hogestyn when I was in high school.

Which Austin? Patrick Muldoon? Or Austin 2.0?

He's always kind of skeeved me. Though no more than the real Roman, I guess.
Didn't real roman used to wear a brown leather vest?
And a perm.
This may actually be the right crowd to ask this. One of my earliest memories is of Julie (of Julie and Doug) being in a cabin fire of some sort. I think she may have been pregnant. She ended up with horrible disfiguring scars, and I think she may have pretended she was dead rather than let Doug see her. Does anyone else remember this? Am I crazy? I am 34, and this was probably before I went to kindergarten, so some of you are probably too young.
