If a writer's pen falls in the woods would we hear it...

So the Writer's Guild has officially started their strike. I have not been following the reasons that close. I don't really care to be honest. I would hope it is not over something trivial and if they feel strongly enough to strike they should stay out until they get something worthwhile. I hate when a union strikes and then eventually caves for what they were originally (or less than originally) offered in their new contract. So what does this mean for the rest of us? It means less new shows if this drags out a long time. There has been some good things to watch this season. Supernatural and Reaper have been two of my favs so far. But there is a silver lining in all of this. I watch too much tv. This will force me to do other things. I can read more, play more video/PC games, play card/board games, socialize with friends, and actually talk to people! Imagine that. Hey, this could turn out to be a very good thing...
