The scribes are about to strike

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has announced it's intention to take action over a dispute with the various entertainment organisations (TV networks, movie studios etc) over pay. If the action does go ahead it will see writers not on any project they may be working on, for example if a currently in production film needed script changes then a WGA member can not make those changes so therefore they may have to be done by a cast member or an another non WGA member. This is not the first WGA strike, the last was nearly 10 years ago. The seventh season of 24 was not seen until 2009 after the sixth had been shown in 2007. Another show affected was Heroes which saw a large number of plot lines lift hanging due to the strike, this included one which saw a character standard in an alternate reality only never to be refereed to again.. The strike may be called off and there a large number of people who hope it does.
