Yep, it looks like the long-running writers’ strike has finally hit the end of the road — rejoice!

Writers’ Guild leaders met today to review the contract terms and are now asking writers to vote — and end picketing. Finally, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

According to Patric Verrone, president of the WGA’s West Coast branch:

“This is the best deal this guild has bargained for in 30 years, after the most successful strike this guild has waged in 35 years. If they [producers] get paid, we get paid. This contract makes that a reality.”

While the terms are acceptable, Verrone did add that “it is not all we hoped for and not all we deserved.”

With the end to the writers’ strike, writers are expected to begin working on Wednesday. What does this mean for new episodes though? Best guess by those in-the-know is about six weeks. Hey, it’s somethin’.
