I'd say that the chances are pretty high that we won't be seeing it at all now. The networks have been dumping tons of unfilmed projects, and the word I hear is that this one is currently on the chopping block.
As for Garris, good for him on showing solidarity. |

The conglomerates forced the strike -- it wouldn't have happened if they were willing to pay writers their fair share (that share being something, rather than nothing). Yeah, it sucks that people are being laid off and will have to collect unemployment, but the outcome of this is something that will define every career in Hollywood for years to come. As for coming back to the table, it's the AMPTP who are unwilling to do so. The WGA committee has said that they'd be more than happy to talk, and they're not the ones who walked out on the negotiations. |

i know all this, I work in the business not as a writer but in the camera department (and not in the US thankfully) so it just really hurts me to see that ppl who get paid far less then the writers are the ones the networks are fireing.
Yes writers deserve their share for downloaded material I'm not argueing that, I just think it's never good when ppl have to resort to a strike because ppl get hurt. Their might not be the line breakers as there used to be but if this strike goes for as long as they say the writers along with those whose livelyhoods are dependend are going to lose alot and I don't want to see that. So don't misconstrue my words, I support the writers I just hate the whole situation. |

I'm pissed at the whole thing, since it's given the BLIGHT of reality TV an even STRONGER foothold.
Quick question though: If all the writers are on strike, how are some shows coming back with "all new episodes"?

Those episodes were already in the can before the strike. In some cases, like THE SHIELD, the scripts had been completed, and the productions went ahead and shot them. In other cases, the networks held over one or two eps that were completed to bring them back later.
Nothing has been written since the strike began. |

Ok...that explains it then. I was just curious since I saw a few commercials on NBC for all new episodes of certain shows, and was wondering if perhaps they had scab writers crossing the picket lines or something.

| Unfortunately, the writers strike has sidelined a number of programs, including NBC's Heroes Origins. |

Untrue.
"Heroes: Origins" was dropped because of the falling ratings for season two and NBC's mission to redo and improve the series. They felt it was unnecessary to make a spin off when the show was suffering creatively.
I agree with them, in spite of my love for the show.

I'm shocked I tell you! Shocked that moving to a mainstream network and being completely neutered of any sex and gore would turn it into shit! |

| There were always a lot of shitty episodes in MASTERS OF HORROR. If there's one or two good episodes among the FEAR ITSELF bunch things will be the same as before. |

One of the only things that made MOH watchable was that there was tits and gore. Subtract all of one and half of the other, and I really don't know how this is going to succeed.
Sounds shallow, I know, but that's how bad some of the stories were. At least we still got "Imprint", "Cigarette Burns", and "Sounds Like" out of it.
