Hollywood Strike, The Sequel?

Whilst I think everyone should be paid fairly and all that jazz, selfishly hope they don't strike.

Most (if not all) of my favourite programmes suffered from the last one, hastily finished storylines, or dropped plots seemed to be the order of the day.

Although I have to say CSI:NY did get off fairly lightly, I watch Supernatural/House/Heroes too and they had to cut their down by ten episodes, whilst CSI:NY only lost out on two.

Whilst I'm sure the strike affected CSI:NY (rushed episodes for instance) I don't think it suffered as badly as other shows, but I also think that the shows whose season was shortened considerably actually managed to churn out some very decent post strike epidodes. So did CSI:NY just not so consistently.

I hope they can work something out and I hope each side is happy with the agreement.
 
I kind of doubt there's going to be a strike. There's definitely not the kind of support for a SAG strike that there was for the WGA one...the WGA kind of stole their thunder on that. And talking with people in SAG, no one seems to think they'd even be able to get 75% of the membership to vote for a strike. A lot of SAG members are doing background work or taking on bit roles as they come--they're "working actors," as in, not the Brad Pitts or Gary Sinises of the world.

Everyone saw how devastating the writers strike was. I don't think anyone wants it to happen again.
 
It's definitely not going in a good direction, but I think SAG is backed into a corner a bit. The chances of them getting a 75% vote for a strike are slim to none.
