Congrats, Linz!

I just found out that Lindsay Archer, who did all of the art for Into the Reach and Departure (as well as my lovely icon), has been featured at Margaret Weis Productions. Hurrah! You can see a lot of Lindsay's work over at DeviantArt.com.

In other news, non-scripted TV got rated very highly last week, and the article I read seemed to say that was a bad thing for the Writer's Strike. Thing is... since all of the scripted shows were reruns (except Desperate Housewives, which was number five in the most watched category), is it any surprise that the new reality shows that were just premiering got high ratings?

*sigh*

Maybe that's what struck me about the way it was being reported--there was an attitude of this being *HORRIBLE* news for the writers and a *HUGE SHOCK* to anyone involved withscripted television, woe-is-them. To me, it was kind of a no brainer.

But it's also a good reason why the WGA needs to win over the reality show writers/win over their members to including the reality show writers/win over the studios to allowing them to increase their bailiwick.

The people who work on reality shows certainly need to get a collective bargaining agreement through *someone* whether it's the WGA or not. Which isn't to say that I don't think they should be WGA or that they should, but the labor abuses going on are just unreal.
