According to CNBC.com, ex-Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, said live on the CNBC program Fast Money, that the writers strike is indeed over.

"It's over," Eisner said. "They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general."

Eisner did seem uncertain for a moment about a possibility that the writers would still reject the deal, but then remained confident that the three-month strike was over.

"A deal has been made, and they'll be back to work very soon," Eisner said, adding, "I know a deal's been made. I know it's over."

Eisner did not elaborate on the terms of the deal, but he said that the deal was made on Friday. He also said that many of the writers will not be getting their same deals they had with the studio, due to cutbacks from the strike.

Well at least you are keeping your expectations reasonable. I hope you're right, I really do. Because just one of those THINGS managed to wipe out my entire crew in less than 24 hours and if the colonists have found that ship then there's no telling how many of them may be infected. Do you understand?

Sorry, I got a little carried away there and had one of my Ripley moments. They mostly come at night. Mostly.
