Couldn't they wait a week? So close.

It's crazy how different this is from the 2007/8 one. For one thing it barely made a blip on my radar compared to 2007 when Lost was the only serialized thing worth watching on television and the wait back then felt endless, with me constantly checking Wikipedia and going noooo.

But now... even disregarding the hundreds of video games and other forms of entertainment to enjoy, TV and movies alone have so much content that I still haven't gotten through the backlog for 2022, much less this year.

It's not over yet. They reached a tentative agreement but they're still finalizing the wording and the union still has to vote on it.
