    Well here comes the first AI generated content. Guaranteed some studio will try and use some AI content and see how it turns out before they come to the bargaining table. If they feel they can get by on just AI, they'll feel they have the upper hand

    if I recall the last strike was also the genesis of the 'nikki and paolo' storyline from lost :donotwant:

    had forgotten how great some of the conan bits were during that timeframe, people were posting a ton of them last night on twitter

    Galaxy brain: Hollywood has shifted to predominately doing only remakes, recycled content, and basic plot CGI eye candy so they could adjust consumers’ expectations, function without writers, and not be affected as severely by the inevitable writers’ strike.

    And now I have PTSD. S1 of Heroes was so great and was easily the show I was most excited about at the time. S2 was a complete travesty.

    I forgot this show even existed and am now saddened. I don't remember having a bigger 180 on a show than I did that one from S1 to S2. I don't think I was even aware it was because of the writers strike at the time, I just thought they fucked it all up.

    Would love for a studio to do that and then get sued into oblivion since these fancy auto-complete programs have been trained on copyrighted material.

    Nikki/Paulo was season 3. Writers strike affected season 4.

    Nikki/Paulo happened bc ABC demanded 20+ episode seasons.

    Pretty sure video game writers are included in the WGA, so add those to the list.
