Now that the strike has ended news is flying in about TV shows and movie updates, but instead of talking about all that jazz I want to take a moment and talk about the actual deal.

I’ve looked over the paperwork that was given to WGA members over the weekend and I spoke to two WGA members… basically in the short term the new deal sucks. Any mid-high level writer will be making less money. However, the hope is that new formula for determining online residuals will be worth it in the long run because not only are writers making money from online distribution but they made sure the old “DVD formula” wouldn’t be applied to it. So was it worth it? No one knows and if some one is saying they know then they are talking out of their butt. Its cliche’, but in this case true: Only time will tell if the strike was really worth it.
