Quick Hits

Entertainment Weekly and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer review Razor, as does the Battlestar Galactica review blog.

In strike negotiation news, Nikki Finke reports that progress was made in day one:

I am thrilled to give you a report on how today's much-anticipated resumed contract talks went between the writers and the producers. And they went well, according to my sources. "It was very productive, very level-headed, and it seemed as though the producers came ready to bargain," an insider told me tonight. "Reasonableness ruled the day."

In fact, the AMPTP reps for the studios and networks showed up to the first day's negotiating session since the WGA strike began November 5th with what was described to me as "a very comprehensive proposal which laid out to all the entire roadmap to the deal. Over the course of the session, the producers addressed every single issue, and the writers listened and kept getting up to caucus."

..."So they basically went through all the proposals on the table: what they'd already agreed upon, and where they needed to go from here," an insider explained to me. "Tomorrow, they really start advancing the ball forward."
To keep the pressure on the AMPTP keeping joining the writers on picket lines, send pencils and make those phone calls.

I didn't watch it on SciFi but I heard that ads during the movie were incredibly annoying.

They were really annoying. It's no wonder why people would rather find it online, or buy it from iTunes or wait for the DVD. People are sick of sitting trough such stupid and annoying advertisements.
