Frakking April

Previously, BSG fandom started a letter writing campaign to complain about any potential splitting of season 4 into two ten episode runs possibly split apart by as much as a year. I suppose we could tell Sci-Fi we are not thrilled with waiting for BSG starting up again around 5 months from now. No to mention the idiotic wait for the Season 3 DVDs. So, here's the address info again:

Bonnie Hammer
President
NBC Universal/Sci-Fi Channel
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112

Mark Stern
Executive VP Original Programming
NBC Universal/Sci-Fi Channel
100 Universal City Plaza
Bld. 1440, 14th Floor
Universal City, CA 91608


Not that it will do any good, but we can vent. And factors beyond anyone's control, such as the impact of the possible strike could be a factor in Sci-Fi's selection of the April date. Or they simply view spring time as a time period with less network competition. (And even less network competition if the nets are left with only running game shows and reality TV by then.)

And if you're so inclined, you could also let them know that they should tell the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers) to quit being so corrupt and criminal and to cut a deal with the WGAW to avoid a protracted strike.

And while I'm mentioning the labor situation, here's the latest statement from the Writer's Guild:
10/25/07
“Our employers are growing and dominate the global entertainment industry. Yet their opening offer would have rolled back our compensation by 50%. Now they decrease the rollbacks to 45% and proclaim that they are truly bargaining. Minor adjustments to major rollbacks do not constitute forward motion. To make a deal, the AMPTP must engage with us on the issues that matter in this negotiation. With that in mind, we will respond to their proposal tomorrow.”
