WGA Strike - Days 87, 88, 89, 90

Posting has been light from yours truly as I deal with some family health issues. (Everybody's hanging in there, thanks.) And with the WGA/AMPTP blackout still on, there's been no word on how the informal negotiations are progressing, other than Nikke "Deadline Hollywood" Finke's assurances that sources are telling her that things are going well. It sounds like the goal is to get things somewhat resolved in time for the Oscars to go on, which is later in February. For those who care to read the tea leaves and speculate, the fact that nobody's left the table can only be taken as a sign of progress, and the fact the WGA cancelled a meeting next week with investment types re: Viacom suggests now is not the time to be roiling the waters. We shall see...
