    As I said in my original post, I’m probably being selfish here but things like this upset me. After a week, I’ve learned more facts about the writers’ strike and calmed down slightly. Are the writers’ right? Probably. I heard they make $30, 000 a year…I don’t know if that’s the case for a staff writer on a show? Maybe you could enlighten me, what does a writer on Smallville or Supernatural make per episode? I now agree that they deserve more, most of them do anyhow as you stated. Are the producers being greedy? Again, probably but I think that’s pretty natural once you make a certain amount. You’re not going to give any of it away if you can help it. Am I very annoyed and disappointed in the strike? Yes. I don’t really support the writers’ decision to actually strike because they’ve turned their backs on the fans that made their show in the first place.

    Without us, they wouldn’t be working on Smallville or Scrubs or Bionic Woman for whatever period of time. It reminds me of the teachers’ strike when I was a child, were the teachers right for demanding more money? Yes, they deserved more especially back then, but that doesn’t mean my parents or I liked their methods.

    I suppose I don’t like the idea that ultimately money is more important than the children or in this case, it’s more significant than the fans. The producers of Smallville said that nobody wanted a strike, but the matter of the fact is that they are doing it. And some of the writers are being so lame and pathetic about it. I’ve heard stories where they interrupt shows and chant so that they can’t film one more episode for the fans. That’s very disrespectful and immature of them so I don’t like these methods. How low can you go? Striking reminds me of children or teenagers whining until they get what they want from their parents. In this case, the parents are the producers and once again they are probably wrong. Oh and please, remember that the writers are causing crew members to lose their jobs and they make less than they do. I just don’t think people should say the producers are evil and the writers are angels. They may not want to cost people their jobs but they are still doing it by striking and not negotiating a new deal. I don’t understand strikes…everyone loses for the first few months and then they have to cut their losses.

    I’m just disappointed that Bionic Woman, Scrubs, Smallville, Supernatural, and Chuck are getting the short end of the stick. People say go read a book, and hey I read all the time but I have my favourite shows and they mean something to me. Finally, I have acted in a couple of plays and some people have said that actors would be nothing without good scripts which is true, but please if you don’t have a good actor to say your lines, they’ll sound like crap so it works both ways.

    I think that the writers do have a collective responsibility not to cause too much damage to the industry..but then so do the studios who need to share the wealth fairly. As you said the fans should also be considered as they’re even more important than the writers and the studios.
