My experience in unions has been that everyone else always knew everything way before I did.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Yeah, it's not officially over yet. But the entire world seems intent on reporting it is. Hence the oddness.
I'm just skeptical of the news media getting an announcment of a legitimate done deal before, say, the actual WGA members that post here.
Oh, I'm sure it will be in the press before the membership gets notified. That's the way things seem to be done. But I'd expect there would be an official statement to the press by both sides once there's a deal, instead of "unofficial sources close to..."

It is odd. I'm going to cross fingers and toes that it's true (and that the deal is good), though.

I really do hope it's true. I've actually found myself watching One Tree Hill the past two weeks. See what the strike has driven me to?
Oh and you know, my friends and associates would be able to go back to work and all that, too. There's that.

So, either the strike has to end or we need to stage an intervention for you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've actually found myself watching One Tree Hill the past two weeks.OH NOES! It's not just me? I was hoping that I was taking one for the whole team.

I've started watching Lost again.
On a positive note, as I rewatched S1, I was able to pinpoint the episode that led to me giving up on the show the first time. For a long time, the last episode I could remember was Walkabout. Which, it has been pointed out to me, was only the third episode and I knew I must've stuck it out longer than that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've started watching Lost again.
Oh noes!
I've been getting through more of my movie queue, watched all of Twin Peaks and I'm almost done with S1 of X-Files.

I've been watching Sports Night. It made me remember why I got so excited about Studio 60 and why it was so disappointing.

You know what the strike has driven me to? Reruns of Star Trek: Enterprise.
I would not admit this in mixed company.
