Even more hackeneyed sequels and shit for us to consume.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/24/media/wga-strike-vote/index.html

The Writers Guild of America's membership has overwhelmingly authorized a strike against the Hollywood studios if they can't win sought-after concessions, inching closer to a work stoppage that could have serious economic effects on the entertainment industry.

It's a good time for it, the only shows I really watch now are GoT and BCS. There was all kinds of TV goodness the last time it happened.

reminder that it's not the strike that killed the shows - it's writers being paid less than what they're worth.

don't be mad at the writers for striking. be mad at the people paying them, forcing them to strike

I never claimed anything of the sort. I'm stating facts.

the writer's strike would not have happened if writers were being compensated adequately for their work

Maybe a writer's strike will make Supernatural watchable again. Good god has it gotten even dumber than before. Also, I'd love to see what Conan and Colbert would do without writers again now that they don't have steward to help them stage a shitty fight. I can't even remember who won

You're stating the obvious in an attempt to be better than everyone else.

I have a few shows that I watch, but it's just entertainment. I can do without it and it won't affect my life. Just means I go outside more and get stuff done around the house more often.

The writers got cleaned out during the last strike. They won't be dumb enough to do that again.

With that said, these demands don't seem unreasonable or greedy like most corrupt union requests, so they should be able to reach a compromise.
