Looks like Steven DeKnight (Daredevil, Buffy, Angel) also agrees they should be asking for more. (DGA version)

WHAT.
"The new show is set to pick up in the aftermath of the defeat of Spartacus' rebel army, and tell a new story of treachery, deceit, and blood unfolding beneath the foreboding shadow of Rome."

Just finding out how fucking cheated I was. I’m not going to recover, ever.

Having SDK on SPN would have been amazing! I’m just going with once Dean gets his shit together and stops releasing his trauma bugs everywhere, he moves into Cas and Jack’s house and they have a little goat farm.
Background: it’s my personal headcanon that Cas is basically the new Joshua and cares for the Garden and he and Jack live in a little house by a lake and have picnics and do other cute father/son things.

As someone who was raised with shitty religious beliefs, as someone who basically had to deprogram themself, as someone who made a choice to be kind and supportive to people who got out of cults, I loathe the idea that once people join the Precursors, hivemind, or whatever, their lives are essentially over, that even if they do escape they still have to die because... reasons. It bugged me when it happened to Brina Travis in Pacific Rim: The Black, and I'm not exactly thrilled to see Steven DeKnight tweeting how he'd love to do it with Newt Geiszler.
As a queer person, I really extra hate the idea of a queer character getting literally taken over by aliens, and then having to die to "atone" for something he wasn't even responsible for. It's a gross failure to understand the concept of culpability, which is a key element in any sort of fair justice system; which makes it one of the shittiest reasons to kill a queer character ever. (Of course, it's a shitty reason to kill any character.)
It kinda makes me wonder how Steven DeKnight sees a person like me, a person who worked hard to get out of some awful bullshit, who occasionally still struggles with things I never asked to be put into my brain - what does he think of my existence? Does he think I need to "atone" for things I had no control over?
I wish I could get people like DeKnight to understand that stories about gay characters like this aren't deep; they're just heartless. They're not profound; they just send an awful message about who needs to die so the rest of society can live.
My fanfics feature a number of people who work with the Precursors/Masters, and I have very deliberately chosen to depict them as people who joined their side for very human reasons. They're there for the same reason anyone might be in a cult, whether that cult is religious, financial, or whathaveyou. Some of them are more complicit in doing harm than others. Some will never give up the cause, and would therefore never be safe to let loose in society at large. There are others in my fanfic world who will one day realize that they were basically scammed, leave the cult, and live with the regret of having chosen a wrong side. I they have a lot of reparations to do. But I also believe that self-improvement is a human right.
And I suppose it goes without saying that my fics feature a lot of queer people who get up to all kinds of shenanigans and also live, because fuck you is why. Hell, I have an OC who figured out how to psychically connect with the hivemind, chatted with the Precursors/Masters, and figured out on his own that they were kinda full of shit, because sometimes you talk to somebody offering you something awesome and you realize that things don't add up.
I'm just... tired tonight, and I'm so tired of queer people and abuse survivors getting thrown under the bus for cheap Hollywood drama.

Apparently, Jenna Ortega criticized the writers on Wednesday and she’s getting canceled for it? Look, i don’t give a sh*t about Hollywood drama unless it pertains to the sh*tshow over at Disney because of Star Wars and the MCU, but this sh*t with Ortega is just ridiculous. The comments weren’t even disrespectful, just critical. She called out the writers for trying to force Wednesday Addams into that very “Riverdale/Buffy” mold and it doesn’t work. Wednesday having a love triangle didn’t work until Ortega stepped in. Having her gush about a prom dress won’t work because that’s not who the character is, something Ortega understood and the writers did not. Ortega went on to say that she would just change lines on the spot to better reflect the essence of Wednesday Addams. Some of those derivative, teeny-bopper, narrative tropes did make it into the show, it is a teen dramedy or whatever, but they felt organic to the character because Jenna had the wherewithal to alter what was on the page. The love triangle was a thing and it worked FOR Wednesday BECAUSE of Jenna. The dress gushing was a thing but she just kind of paused, gave it a second glance, and walked off. That’s what Wednesday would do and Ortega knew that. If Jenna Ortega adjusted those scripts, as well as delivering such a strong performance, then she is more responsible for the success of Wednesday than any other motherf*cker on that set. Not according to Steven DeKnight.

Steven is a big shot producer for Netflix. His name is all over sh*t that you’d know but the big one is Daredevil. Now, that show kills. It’s f*cking brilliant. So much so that Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal, the titular Daredevil and Punisher, respectively, survived the Marvel Knights purge and made their way into the MCU proper. He deserves all the credit for that. But DeKnight is an old man. An old man with a long string of successes in Hollywood. He’s one of these dudes that thinks, because he’s been in the business for years, he knows more than, say, a twenty year old, breakout star. DeKnight decried Ortega’s comments as “unprofessional”. He then went on to call her as “entitled” and “beyond toxic”, dismissing her very real criticisms as just youthful tantrums; That she should, even at her young age, know better than to “throw your collaborators under a creative bus.” Now, taken at face value, dude has a point. We just saw SO much of that with The Rock’s team and DC after the whole Black Adam debacle. The difference here, and what i think DeKnight missed, is that Wednesday is GOOD. It’s literally one of the best shows Netflix has ever made and, up until that interview, that was because of how well Jenna Ortega portrayed the character. Now that we know the vast majority of creative development for the character fell on Ortega straight up ignoring what was in the script, of course she has every right to say something and she’s right to do so. Steven DeKnight sounds like a relic of a bygone Hollywood that doesn’t understand how to maneuver this tricky mire of Gen Z and Alpha audiences. A good start would probably be to actually listen to one of the first megastars of that generation.

This sh*t isn’t a singular event either. In recent years, since the rise of Streaming during plague times, there’s been a ton of these types of stories floating about. There has been a steady flow of these narrative coming out of the Euphoria set from the cast about pushing back, hard, with a lot of the nudity and plot beats thrown their way by Sam Levinson. Levinson is a Millennial so he should know better but his pops, Barry Levinson, has been in Hollywood for decades. Sam grew up in that old system so he's picked up a lot of those bad habits but his sets mirror the same issues at hand. Especially on his new show, The Idol. That mess is a sh*tshow but I digress. The issue is one of disconnect and, surprisingly enough, entitlement. Disgruntled old heads, frustrated that the youth have decided to make their own way in an industry set in it’s ways, ignoring the fact that they were once doing the same thing decades earlier. Even I'm guilty of it but I'm also self-aware enough to understand that I'm not the driving force of the economy anymore. I’m well outside of that sweet demographic spot most companies like to milk, especially the entertainment sector. The arguments stem from sh*t like this DeKnight nonsense, all the way to the current, perverted, Right Wing crusade against “Woke.” Do you know why everything is Woke? Because Gen Z is the “wokest” generation to date, want that sh*t in their content, and will loudly, emphatically, tell you about it. They’ll tell you about a lot sh*t they don’t like or want and they’re usually right. Jenna Ortega did and look what happened. Wednesday got the green light for season two. Ortega speaking out now, is a preemptive measure to put pressure on those writers to keep them honest, to make it easier for her Wednesday to BE Wednesday without all of those ridiculous cliches that plague US television. Wednesday is a smash f*cking hit and all it took was a Gen Z queen to make sure all those Gen X writers didn’t f*ck it up with their weird ass high school tropes that we’ve seen since the goddamn Eighties. The kids are alright. We should be listening to them, not dismissing or belittling their vision. All that said, Wednesday is nothing without Enid. Just sayin'.

Happy Wine Wednesday! 🍷
And happy birthday to me! 🎉
I can’t think of a better episode to come out today than this one on the #Spartacus pilot with Candi.
Apparently I think about the Roman Empire a lot. 😂

one of the greatest strengths of spartacus: blood and sand writing-wise is how multi-dimensional all the characters feel and crixus is the best example of this imo... he's first introduced as this fierce, undefeated gladiator and a vicious schoolyard bully. then we get to know him a little more and learn that his formidable skills in the arena and the impressive masculine form he cuts make him vulnerable to the whims of the roman women who want to paw at or fuck him. and finally we see his tender, romantic heart and the deep love he holds for naevia. and he's all these things at once <3 love him

Re: Minimum Staffing in Writers Rooms in the WGA 2023 contract
Let's start this off with what the deal looks like on minimum room size:
Tumblr media
(link to full WGA 2023 contract)
Ok, so I wondered a bit about the minimum staffing in the contract myself. It seemed a little small, and I got a little confused with the writer-producer bit*. So here's something I just saw (reply to it incoming):
*Writer-producer is a new tier added this contract, as is stated in a tweet later in this post.
Tumblr media
That was is background to the next two tweets. I will say, someone pointed out how stupid only 6 episode series would be an incredibly stupid and unprofitable business model.

But anywho, here's some interesting stuff about room sizes of other shows that's what got me down that path (keep in mind, I don't think these two saw the person's explanation).

I haven't listened to this (yet?), but here's a podcast from one of the WGA NegComm members - John August - that apparently goes over the contract in technical speak:

“Frank Harding is a hard-boiled P.I. in 1940’s Los Angeles who finds himself fighting not only the usual cadre of criminals and ne’er-do-wells, but also the occasional demon and other malevolent supernatural beings. While fighting the forces of darkness is another day at the office for Frank, his current case, tied into his own past and L.A.’s all-too-real history of prejudice and discrimination, may be the one that puts Frank out of business…for good.”
Hard Bargain, GN written by Steven S. DeKnight, art by Leno Carvalho, announced for August 2024
