icepixie | The writers' strike

From this blog:

So why is this news important? Because now both sides in this writers vs producers fight are further apart than they have ever been, and that’s saying a lot. Both sides believe they have fresh and ample reasons not to go back into negotiations anytime soon. And by soon a worst case scenario of months and months and months.

If this means Pushing Daisies dies an early death, I will be pissed. (Okay, okay, I know that's about the least of the problems that this strike can cause. I would not, for example, want to be a production assistant, or a writer's assistant, or even part of the service industry which caters to production companies right now, because I'd be out of a job.)

(And for the record, while there are issues involved with this that I'm sure I don't know nearly enough about and that might affect my opinion, just looking at the WGA's demand for doubling their DVD and new media residuals [from what, four cents to all of eight cents?], I can't help but feel they are more than justified in their demand and their action.)

I agree. Everything I've read just highlights the utter greed of the producers, and it's appalling at how little the writers are asking for yet still being denied (especially the royalties on iTunes downloads - I can't believe they don't get anything on those sales). But I really hope all the new season's shows don't get prematurely killed because of the strike. I wouldn't miss most things, but Pushing Daisies...please, let us keep that.
