Laura, as part of the strike settlement, those writers are supposed to get their jobs back.
Huh, I stand corrected.
Anya: Are you stupid or something? Giles: Allow me to answer that question with a firing.

[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

There also is supposed to be a favored nations clause in regard to SAG negotiations isn't there?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I don't think the favored nations clause (although agreed on verbally) made it into the written deal. I could be wrong.

MFN was a verbal agreement on New Media only.

In disappointing news, it seems that a lot of shows won't be back on the air until next season and the folks who work on those shows will be unemployed for, at least, another few months. A large number of BTL workers on the TV side may end up being unemployed for a total of 5-10 months, depending on the show.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
What does the favored nations clause mean in this context?

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
*stomps on glib off-topic reply* All this talk of Most Favoured Nation is giving me all sorts of flashbacks to high school debate, the year we did China....
I have no reply for libkitty. But yay for the writers getting a deal that doesn't totally suck, and extra yay for Kristen giving us the no-rumours low-down! (This is the only place I've been getting strike news from.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

egad, that sucks. I don't know how you cover that kind of unexpected work gap.

For a different perspective, Harlan Ellison does not like the deal. Or any of us folks who do.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Does Harlan Ellison like anyone?
