For a different perspective, Harlan Ellison does not like the deal. Or any of us folks who do.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Didn't Harlan Ellison used to be good at rage essays? Cause I couldn't tell what the fuck he was talking about. He could be 100% right for all I know; but there was nothing in what he wrote that would have told me that. I don't mean that he was unconvincing. I mean he did not tell me what to be convinced or unconvinced about, other than the fact that he is really pissed at the WGA leadership and the deal Is Really Bad.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Harlan Ellison is pissed? Alert the media.

Yeah, but again normally you can tell what Harlan is pissed at. And really he is fairly selective about what makes him angry. It is just that usually when he is mad he is really good about telling you all about it. This last link NSM.

I thought he made it pretty clear. He's pissed at the 17 day window. He's pissed at the dropping of animation and reality. But he's really pissed that after months of striking for a fair deal, he feels the writers got NSM. And I agree that the deal is not "fair", but I also admit, were I a writer, it is probably what I would accept.

Joel Surnow recently announced that he's leaving 24. TWoP takes a look at what the show could become if certain other well known showrunners were brought on board.
