No-one Consulted Me...

I understand the reasons behind the Writer's Strike. Hell, I agree that they should be rightfully compensated for their content when it appears on the internet. I just wish someone would have consulted me about the timing of the strike... because, quite frankly, 11 episodes of Heroes was just not enough. How am I supposed to get my Hayden Panatierre fix now?

Oh, and I'm sure as hell not running down to Best Buy to drop 30 bucks on a 11-episode Season DVD, either...

I read that during the 1988 Strike, television networks lost 10% of their viewership... AND NEVER GOT THEM BACK. Think about this: that was before the pervasion of video game consoles that we have now. Some of the story lines coming out of the game studios (See Halo, GTA IV, Mass Effect) are easily the equal of anything coming out of Hollywood... something the producers and studio executives should keep in mind before they let this strike go on for too long...
