more Strike stuff

LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof on the Writer's Strike and the death of television.

... out of work, Damon? Well, does this mean that maybe now we'll see the third frickin' issue of ULTIMATE WOLVERINE/HULK? Part 2 only came out almost two years ago, after all. ;p

No, snark aside, it continues to baffle me how some people could seriously think the writers are greedy and in the wrong. Why should I even have to point out that someone is getting paid for their internet work, for which they get nothing!

It never occurred to me that the strike could possibly last for months on end, though. I don't even watch TV all that often nor frequently, but just the thought of all non-reality-programming, just shut down all at once, is just enough of a change in status quo to feel unsettling.

Still, as much as I'm going to miss the Daily Show and Colbert, as well as any adult swim cartoons affected in the long run, I'm still behind the writers 100%.

... must resist the urge to go to LA and become a scab, adaptor would kill me

The only rational arguement I've heard against the strike is the fact that other people in tv related jobs are out of work. Which isn't completely wrong, but I find it odd that people think that the studios who refused to cough up those nickels and dimes (literally) in residual checks are in the right while the writers are greedy, overpaid, and lazy.
