This would piss me off beyound belief...
If this screws up the number of episodes The Office or LOST puts out, I'm driving to Cali to hunt down some of the waiters errrr "writers" of these shows.

Re: Writers going on strike in November?
That's why some of the new shows have ordered extra scripts, just in case of the strike...
Hopefully it doesn't jack up the shows too much, we'll see.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

It sucks but what can you do? If this does in fact happen I'm sure I can find something else to occupy my time."You got it man. I don't watch hockey." SidVish"I thought LeBron James was just going to be another addition to help me score."

Re: Writers going on strike in November?
Aren't these people already paid an outrageous salary to more or less plagiarize old shows as it is. If they strike, fire their asses, maybe look for people with actual talent and we'll see the quality of television go up.Comment

Re: Writers going on strike in November?
Writers have historically been shafted by Hollywood when it comes to compensation/recognition for their work.
Yes they get paid a lot but it's literally nothing compared to the rest of Hollywood. In addition to that, writers make pay in stages. Not every credited writer gets full financial credit for their work.
Maybe I'm biased because I envision myself in a similar position sometime in the future but it's been like this since the beginning. The writers want more money because Hollywood has found new streams of revenue thanks to the foreign market and DVD sales. I think it's within their right to demand a percentage of those sales."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Writers going on strike in November?
I also don't know how much of Lost would be affected. Are Damon Lindeloff and Carlton Cuse writers by contract?
I don't think they are. I believe they are contracted as writer/producers. They could always write the episodes themselves."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

I hope this doesn't effect any of the 50,000 TV shows that I happen to watch.Originally posted by EWRMETSComment
