I heard a showrunner for a comedy show on NPR this morning talking about how they'll be scrambling to put scripts together and writing new scripts when in a normal season they'd have the scripts finished and be able to work on fine-tuning finished scripts during filming. I'm willing to wait longer for the quality I've grown accustomed to.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

[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!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You are, but the network isn't.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It ain't over. Uhm, officially.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Kristen, does it seem like this will be ratified with ease? Do you think it is a no brainer that the strike will be officially called off tomorrow?
There is a lot of noise on the blogs today and maybe it is just noise, but maybe it is something else.

I'm waiting until the final vote report before I send out my Oscar party invite. It will be the 12th year in a row I've thrown this party. But, I'd give it up gladly if the writers don't get what they need.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
Checking back in here to say "Woo!" A few people on Sirius Radio have been dismissive of the strike which irritates the crap out of me.

What is even happening?
You are, but the network isn't.
Well, with shows like Pushing Daisies and Chuck, it seems like they are. I'm glad of that. I'm dying for more from both of them, but I want the shows to be done right. Pushing Daisies, in particular, is just such a lovely, well polished gem. It deserves better than to be hacked. I just hope it can survive being off the air for so long. I keep telling myself that this new, abbreviated pilot season will suck and that my favorites will be safe.

I'm in complete agreement. I've loved PD with a passion I have not had for pop-anything in a long time. As a result, I've looked at each episode as if it will be the last. Nihilistic, I suppose, but smart/funny/pretty/charming doesn't seem to last on my airwaves.

I'd be willing to wait as long as I have to for more Pushing Daisies, my love is so pure.
