« WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows
Galactica Exec Glad to Have Writers Back in Orbit
Now that the strike is over, what are the writers going to do? No, they're not going to Disney World, they're getting their butts back in the writers' room ASAP. Not only are the writers ready to go back to work, they are all fired up about it. A few weeks ago, TVGuide.com spoke to Jane Espenson (co-executive producer on the hugely popular and acclaimed Battlestar Galactica) and Charles Tatham (a co-executive producer for Fox's Back to You) on the picket lines. Now that the strike is over, we wanted to know how it felt to be getting back to the grind.
Tatham, who writers affectionately call "Uncle Chuckles," said, "Only one person in the known universe wants me to go back to work more than I do: my wife." Espenson echoed that sentiment, and more, saying, "I'm happy that a deal was reached. I'm happy that it appears to be a good deal, certainly better than what was likely without a strike. But most of all, I am, and my colleagues are, happy to be going back to a writers' room tomorrow to work on Battlestar Galactica. So say we all."
So say we all indeed. — Erin Fox
