Nikki. Thanks for sharing the pics. I love seeing them.
Ben Edlund rules he is so funny what a cute daughter he has. Supernatural is one of the beat written shows on Television…
I don’t know if that’s supposed to be good (WGA doing alter to AMPTP’s furnish line) or bad (WGA getting people fired before christmas) but if it is true this means one week of the town shutting down costs about as much as to create a $200m summer blockbuster.
And there’s this huge march– great visuals– but no photos on the LATimes website’s front page? (Finally– I don’t know why the WGA estimated this at 4,000 as there were CLEARLY more people on Hollywood Blvd than there were at the Fox rally which police estimated at 5,000.)
Don’t sell yourself short WGA. I’d estimate at least 5K if not much more…
Hilarious! If you’ve checked out any of the ‘extensive’ online coverage of the strike covered by the local news networks on their websites you’ll notice that before watching any of the TV news you’ll have to sit through… a commercial! Ha! They’re change surface making advertising money from the re-run of the news covering the touch! Incredible.

JM-And by the way those TV reporters will never see a cent change surface though their news story packages are repurposed online on digital platforms and sometimes on several newscasts and even on several channels! They get a base salary but no residual whatsoever even though the 24/7 news make pass means their bring home the bacon is rebroadcast countless times!Unfortunately the inequities are everywhere.

“Supernatural is one of the beat written shows on Television…”
You’re right it is really good which makes it strange that the CW paired it with what’s probably the worst written show on television.

Jake how true! Writers editors anchors and producers outside the guild are also getting screwed by Internet usage.
Stay strong writers and act walking for the win. There needs to be acknowledgment of the web’s impact with compensation for profits and revenue.
