i think both your constitutions are terrific/so now you know, be good boys

...yeah. I'm a little torn on the fact of the strike, because on the one hand OMG my shows (Pushing Daisies! Dirty Sexy Money! DAMMIT THIS HAD BETTER NOT PUSH THE LOST OPENING BACK ANY FURTHER) and on the other hand I really want to support the writers and take a baseball bat to the studios until they come to their senses.

So what I want is FOR THE GORRAM STUDIOS TO COME TO THEIR SENSES FAST and concede to every single one of the writers' demands very very fast so that they can get back to work under much better conditions. Ys? Ys. We don't need more reality TV and news shows, thnx.

I'm usually extremely anti-striking but I reckon writers probably get treated like shit in the entertainment industry. But yeah, it's still pissing me off. It's ridiculous that they were making us wait until Febuary for more LOST anyway. :(

Their demands are srsly not ridiculous--I heard they even dropped demanding that they get paid for DVD sales and are just sticking to wanting to get paid for Internet sales--and WHY the damn studios aren't just giving in and giving them what they want makes no sense to me. :(

I wasn't meaning the writers. I actually support them, which has surprised me as I'm not a fan of the whole strinking thing usually. I just meant that we were having to wait until Febuary for new LOST, which was announced after the season three finale...as far as I know the no new episodes until Febuary thing didn't originally have anything to do with the strike?

No, yeah, sorry. Wasn't meaning to argue with you, was meaning to go off into another rant about why the studios are stupid and the writers are justified which was more of a "I agree with you and here's why" sort of thing, if that makes any sense at all. Bad wording. Ys.

The no new episodes until February thing, I think, just has to do with the shortened season and wanting to run new episodes all in a row instead of breaking them up like they did in the first season. But if the strike goes on long enough it could definitely push production back and lengthen the hiatus. Ys?

Not pleasant, in any case.

Heh, argue if you like! Though it might be difficult in this case, since we appear to agree.

I suppose if it means less breaks throughout the season then waiting for new LOST isn't so bad. But, dang it, I miss it. And it doesn't help that the season three boxset is taking so long to come out either. It only just got released in the UK a couple of days ago...I believe the US set won't be out until December?

Yeah, we don't get the set for another month-plus. *is sad* Not that I could afford it right now, and not that I would buy it right now anyway because of the writers' strike, but still. It'd be nice to know it was there, right?
