Your occasional dose of WGA strike news

I haven't posted anything since Friday, so I have a bunch of links to throw your way!

Most importantly - if you support the strike, go sign this petition. I'm not sure how much impact it can have, but if it collects a very large number of signature, I think it could be impressive and definitely a sign to the AMPTP.

Edward Allen Bernero, executive producer of Criminal Minds, explains the strike to the fans of the show. He explains it in a very straight-forward way. By now if you've been following, you probably know most of this already, but it's a good link to get a first grasp of what's going on.

A writer writes about the strike. Again, a good reference to get an idea of what's at stake.

Joss Whedon talks about the WGA strike (youtube video). Again, nothing really new, but who'll turn down a video of Joss Whedon??

Why the strike sill be a long one. Title self-explanatory...

And a couple of funny things:

A response from the studios. I was perplexed at first, but keep watching.

A Simpson writer pens a Simpson scene that talks about the strike. It's awesome.

That's it for now! The second week of the strike has started, and I'm still hoping both parties will return to the table soon. Some shows have already shut down production and fired their crew, and it's going to be really tough for many people in Hollywood this winter if production doesn't resume quickly.
