Because I have not completely forgiven him for "One Day, One Room"

As a writer myself, I have to say that I'm completely in support of the writers' strike. I believe that all artists -- whether or not their medium is music, paint, or the printed word -- deserve to be recognized for their efforts and deserve to have those efforts rewarded.

That being said, I just looked at the strike list, scrolled down to the House entry, and saw that David Shore was the only writer listed. What the fuck, David Shore? How many episodes did you write last year? One? Maybe? I'm sorry. You don't need any more money. Pawn the Emmy you won for "Three Stories" if you're strapped for cash.

Okay, so David Shore is the "showrunner", who speaks for all of the writers on the set. I get that. Still. Couldn't they have picked someone a little better? I'm a Doris Egan fangirl. DORIS. CALL ME -- WE'LL FIGHT THE POWER TOGETHER.

I think you're absolutely right. There are few things worse than not being recognized for hard work and being rewarded for it.

But..David Shore? David freaking Shore? No kidding, pawn off the Emmy or other items from the House set on eBay if things are that bad.

I'm a little snappy today, but. XD

Am I the only one who liked One Day, One Room? *looks around*

So wait, does that mean that House would shut down production if they ran out of scripts if only Shore is on that list? I don't get it. I want to know to see if poor Hugh may get a chance for a well deserved mental health break.

Doris Egan should write EVERY EPISODE.

DORIS EGAN IS MY HOMEGIRL. All-time fave.
