WGA STRIKE BLOGS: WHO & WHERE TO READ, PLUS A ‘LOST’ UPDATE
In addition to the sites that I listed in the the two previous blogs, here are some new ones to bookmark for writers strike updates and inside perspectives.
Strike Watch (TVGuide.com)
Show Tracker (LA Times)
Joss Whedon (creator/writer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel)
Jon Robin Baitz (creator/executive producer of Brothers and Sisters)
Here is a WGA video of The Office creator/writer Greg Daniels, along with writer/actors Mindy Kaling, BJ Novak and Paul Lieberstein picketing.
As for Lost, today on EW.com, executive producer Carlton Cuse (who is a WGA negotiating committee member and is picketing along with producing partner Damon Lindelof) said the following about how the strike will affect the filming and airing of the show:
“It will feel like buying a Harry Potter book, reading half of it,
and then having to put it down for many months. There
is a cliffhanger at the end of the eighth episode. It will only be
frustrating [for viewers] to have to step away from the show and not
see the second half of the season.The first half of the season, like a good novel, sets all the
events of the show in motion and the second half deals with the
consequences. We’re very proud of the first eight but
it feels weird to have to stop literally mid-stream.”
Well, fellow Losties, what do you think? Comments are open again on this site, and I know you’re not shy.
