It’s the end of the second week of the WGA Strike and so much has happened. Shows are officially shutting down, actors are being sent away, the gays struck, pigs and rats were inflated around town, my pal Rae walked the lines, and some showrunners are crossing that picket line in our honor.
WGA Strike Day 12
Updates and Links
LOST geniuses Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse cross the picket line in order to put the finishing touches on the 8 episodes of Lost Season 4 that ABC refuses to NOT air. It’s for our own good, they promise.
Bionic Woman and Battlestar Galactica shut their robotic doors and possibly cost 1,000 BC jobs.
OMG, the Munchkins are walking the picket lines today. And no, I don’t mean the Dunkin Donuts Munchkins. Don’t follow that yellow brick road though, because it’s probably pee from a striking writer who didn’t make it to the porta-john in time.
Today is Impromptu Fans Strike Day! I hope Rae is planning on attending. That’s quite the vacation she’s taking… seeing the sites of a picket line. Better than the lines at Knottsberry Farms, I’m certain.
Damn it’s a big day for striking. Presidential hopeful, Senator John Edwards is planning on picketing today.
Don’t forget that 30 Rock and SNL go LIVE this weekend. I’ll be in NYC tomorrow but only for 9 hours, not enough time to make it to one of these. Curses.
*This post will be updated throughout the day, check back for the latest.

I know how you feel about the SNL/30 Rock thing. I’m 45 minutes away from NYC and I’d kill to go to one of these.

Hey Ducky – Great update on the strike. I just saw this news item about how businesses are also getting involved to help WGA members.

I did indeed attend! Fan Day and the John Edwards rally (they were in different locations). Cool day. I’m trying to work up the energy to post about it right now.
