Subject: Update from Ron Moore on his blog

http://www.rondmoore.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2007/11/17_Galactica_wraps.html

Here's what he wrote:

Production wrapped on episode 413 late last night, and there’s no certain date to resume shooting. No more scripts exist. My office staff has been laid off. My cast has been suspended, without pay.





I refuse to believe that we won’t finish, that we won’t be back to film our final stories, but I know and accept there is that possibility. The strike will be a seminal event for many of us in this business as it’s put literally everything we care about in the balance (if only for a short time so far) for something we all believe is important.





Writers talk a lot about the strike, about the reasons we’re out on the picket lines and our feelings and experiences in the business. It’s been an interesting three weeks. I’ve connected with more scribes in the last few weeks than in many months before and I come away from it to date with a sense of optimism about the solidarity of the membership and admiration for my peers.





Galactica’s coming back, I frakking promise you that. But I am ready to put the rest of the story on the table and take the risk that I’ll never be able to tell it, in support of this strike.





Like Adama says, you make your choices and then you live with them.





Still.





A helluva gamble.

Which isnt to say I wasnt freaking the frak out when i first heard, ABM can vouch for that, he got the phone call. ;)

At the moment, I'm hoping the strike will be over for the New Year, as they're going back to the table next week, which given the spec was it'd be *months* before even that happened, Im choosing to see as a positive sign that it'll be resolved sooner rather than later.

*crosses everything that next week the Studio's offer the WGA a serious, decent offer, including eyes*
