WGA Strike is Over!

From the United Hollywood blog: (http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/)

"This was sent today to WGA members from Presidents Verrone and Winship:

On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th. The strike is over. Writing can resume immediately."

Read about it on CNN.com (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/writers_guild_of_america), or any major news page, or any of the related links in my sig below.

In case anyone has forgotten why this is important here :) We can't have new Farscape, including webisodes, unless writers can write new Farscape. There are far more ramifications, which I will let far better-informed folks than me discuss, but it's done.

(I'm betting by the time I click on "Submit New Thread" someone else will have posted the news. Ah well, only one way to find out....)

Its good that not only the writers can get back to work but all the other employees of the studios can get back to work. I hope the writers got the deal they wanted.

if you're interested, check out the united hollywood site. they have a bunch of opinions on the deal that they got. Most everybody agrees that it's not exactly what they wanted, but it's a good first step and in three years, hopefully they'll be able to get what they want :)
