Wise move by Abrams and Lindelof

Star Trek producers JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof were wise in their decision to ensure that the script for the new Star Trek movie was all set for filming before protests begin for the WGA strike. The two show support for fellow WGA members as they also walk the picket lines. This is despite being [...]
