Grr, the writers strike is so annoying...im halfway through the second series of heroes...and the new season of smallville and both of them may finish after less than half the series completed because of the crappy writers strike.

Cumon writers, sort it out...selfish if you ask me ;)



(i was gonna put this in gripes as it is a gripe, but i reckon it would have lasted less than an hour as it has very little to do with bush)

Selfish? Their material is being displayed on the internet and they're getting no cut of the digital revenue. Who's the selfish one? :P

Though, I admit they have it better than Europe's writers. (Or Germany's, at least.)

It's taking so long because the fat cat company directors don't want to give up their free cash income and figure they can starve out those on a lower income than themselves into surrendering. ;)

is it a strike over pay and if so how much do they earn roughly?

lol, i love heros, its awesome, i have season 1 boxset, though i hate to admit it, but i loved it so much, i just had to watch season 2 straight away, which meant i watched the illegal copies on the internet, but dam i think season 2 was as good if not better than season 1.

the strike will not be over untill the *they* run out of already written scripts. then *they* will cave into the demands of the writers.

as it should be.

the writers know this and most have planned before hand. when *they* run out of scripts, the writers will grab *them* balls by the hand and yank really really hard.

it will be a lovely day when this happens :)

Pinpower, I share your pain! I got so involved with Heroes, I had just caught up when they started striking! Let's just hope for a speedy resolution now :)

Geez Prison Break S3 and Lost S3 are surprisingly good.
