I am so distraught about this writer's strike. The last writer's strike, in 1988, dragged on for almost SIX MONTHS. First of all, America simply cannot afford to do without Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for SIX MONTHS. I'm dead serious about that. The Daily Show is practically the only voice of truth out there, not to mention Colbert's "truthiness." Thank God Keith Olberman's show isn't affected.

Second of all, do these writers not care that DEAN WINCHESTER'S SOUL IS HANGING IN THE BALANCE!?! How long will we have to wait to find out what happens to this poor, tormented and ridiculously pretty bastard?

Hard to say how long it'll go on. Damn shame, I say.

My personal plan for getting the writers back involves . . . I have no idea. Can they be bribed, do you suppose? Blackmailed? Seduced? Prayed to?

Now is the perfect time for you to submit scripts to all your favorite shows. I'm quite serious. Heck, Jon and Stephen are right there in your own city!!!. Get going!

It's like the writer's strike is a satanic plot on all sides!

A wicked shame. I understand their position and I know that most of these writers work freelance and are dependent upon their residuals for income, but I hope this thing doesn't drag on too long.

Don't we all?

Drafting fanfic writers for the job?

Ooh, ouch. Way too tall of an order for me. I'm sure there's someone out there who's more than willing to tackle it.

Oh lord, Jon and Stephen are brilliant. They make my head spin.

I seem to recall that during the '88 strike, some scab writers were brought in. I don't know if I'm remembering that correctly or not. But if I am, I doubt they were welcome in the writing community afterwards. Nobody loves a scab!

Holy shit, I thought exactly the same thing! Satan engineered a writer's strike just to screw the Winchesters!!

Takes a clever comment to get me out of hiding...

Hello - I've been lurking occasionally on LJ for - like - a YEAR now.

Glad to see you again Oselle... Magpie, always a pleasure.

Love the Winchesters too (I have a SLIGHT preference for Sam myself). Best angst seen on TV in many a year. Daughter and I never miss the show if we can help it.

May post more regularly now! Hugs to all.
