1) I usually stay studiously neutral in WGA politics, but I feel this cannot be passed by. The agentless staffing season did not hurt and may have helped with diversity in the writers room.
2) With all due respect, I have not heard the Nagy slate detail what they wish to achieve by re-engaging the Big Four *on their terms*. I know what the current goals are. A different approach, sure, may be legitimate —but to *what end*?
3) I have yet to hear —and I would love to be corrected — anyone state “we want to return to the bargaining table to accomplish X,Y, and Z”. Anyone who knows me knows — I want to hear the goddam plan.
4) I am also extremely turned off by this constant refrain that the current administration is being recalcitrant and not negotiating. This is plainly false. A bad faith argument does not win my vote.
5) I respect the entire slate — Craig Mazin in particular once did me a great favor — but I believe their approach is flawed in regards to ensuring protections for the middle class working writers. FWIW I support the current WGA Administration in the upcoming election.
6) I think, come September, fi-core will be a perfectly legitimate response for many marquee writers who’d rather get a piece of the pie. /xx
