TVGuide.com just published this short statement about the writers’ strike status.

Although statements circulated by producers and writers yesterday reveal that only $20 million separates their contract proposals, we still may be no closer to seeing this strike resolved. How can that be? The issue isn’t the $20 million — producers drop that over lunch — it’s how to assess compensation for ever-changing digital platforms. In any case, talks, such as they are, will resume today. — Ben Katner

If you don’t know what the writers are striking about, here’s a rough description of the issue. Right now, all the actors, producers, and everyone else under the sun gets paid every time a show’s episode gets watched online (because of the revenues from those ads we see during the video) - except for the writers. I’m also pretty sure taht they don’t get compensated the same way the rest do for electronic media such as DVDs. But I say, there wouldn’t be any episodes to show at all if the writers hadn’t written them. They deserve the same sort of compensation for their work as everyone else. Let me tell you as a person who has made a living writing for ** years, writing is not something that just anyone can do with the same flair those writers can. They deserve what they are asking for.

I know that it’s easy to get upset because we don’t get to see new episodes of our favorite shows for a while, but we have to think about the talented people who create them for us. We can be patient while the “powers that be” get the message that writing is valuable to them and should be rewarded just like every other talent involved in show creation.

That’s my two cents. What do you have to say about the strike? Leave a comment to share your thoughts!

Question: Got anything on CSI Miami? — Shakera
Ausiello: As you know, Elizabeth Berkley has been cast as Horatio’s ex-wife and the mother of his teenage son. Well, what you may not know, is that she’s trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for Prevaricator. Not only does she have a history of con artistry, but she may also be a murderer.

The writers’ strike may be wrapping up sooner than we feared. No guarantees, of course, but this is the official statement sent out this afternoon. (keep your fingers crossed…)

STATEMENT REGARDING AMPTP WGA NEGOTIATIONS

LOS ANGELES, November 29, 2007 – “The AMPTP today unveiled a New Economic Partnership to the WGA, which includes groundbreaking moves in several areas of new media, including streaming, content made for new media and programming delivered over digital broadcast channels. The entire value of the New Economic Partnership will deliver more than $130 million in additional compensation above and beyond the more than $1.3 billion writers already receive each year. In response, the WGA has asked for time to study the proposals. While we strongly preferred to continue discussions, we respect and understand the WGA’s desire to review the proposals. We look forward resuming talks on Tuesday, December 4.

We continue to believe that there is common ground to be found between the two sides, and that our proposal for a New Economic Partnership offers the best chance to find it.”

This episode gave us the solution to Mac’s 333 stalker mystery. Mac Taylor went to Chicago to track down the person sending all the puzzles and other clues. When he got there, he went to the Tribune building and found a dead body hanging in an empty room with a gruesome game of “hangman” on the wall in red paint. Mac figured out that the secret word in the hangman game was the word “coward.”

Meanwhile, Stella, Danny, Lindsey & Det. Flack went to investigate a New York subway driver who was found dead. During their investigation, the doors to the cars closed and the train began to speed down the tracks toward a certain crash at the gate that added up to 333. Danny, the only CSI not in the subway car, managed to get the runaway train stopped just in time to save the train from its crash.

Back in Chicago, Mac deduced that the clues were leading him to his childhood when he and two of his friends got into trouble and one of the boys was beaten to death while Mac looked on with a loaded gun and was too afraid to pull the trigger. He confronted the friend who took the gun and shot the killer, but the clues did not lead to him.

After examining more evidence, the team figured out that the 333 stalker was trying to kill members of Mac’s team to pay him back and the person doing it was actually the man who had been pursuing Stella with all the gifts. Just then, the creep kidnapped Mac and the team used the man’s brother (Mac’s childhood friend) to bait him while they captured him.

It was a very intense episode and I loved the way Mac was taken to Chicago and had to track down evidence in a place where he ha no authority. Here are some discussion points to get us started.

1. Jason says that he got the idea that this episode was a lead-in to a possible CSI: Chicago. Do you feel the same way?
2. I personally liked getting more of Mac’s back story. He’s the strong, silent type and we get bits and pieces of his past, but this was definitely revealing of him.
3. When you saw how the childhood tragedy played out, do you think that Mac was a coward?
4. Could it be that Mac went into criminal investigation in some sort of attempt to make up for his fear during that event in his childhood?
5. I was impressed that Stella resisted the advances of the 333 stalker creep. I know I would have been his victim for sure. (I have a first date this Saturday and I’m giving it second thoughts…..) ;-)
6. Do you think Mac did the right thing in the end by only wounding the guy? Flack thought he should have shot to kill. What would you do if you had been Mac?
7. Did you like this episode? What about the story arc?

Let’s get a discussion going. Leave a comment to share your thoughts! I want to hear what you think!
