I think the "powers that be" forget just how much the strike back in 07-08 had everyone over a fkn barrell. like there were huge, long hiatuses of top tv shows. idk why they think that wont happen again.

Heroes was ruined. It hurts me to this day. I always got out of my night shower as a kid and watched Heroes while I dried off 😥

Peacock okay'd a Heroes reboot like two years ago, if it wasn't cancelled before it probably is now.

Imagine being a creator of that show. The first attempt was ruined by a writers strike, and then over a decade later you finally get approved for a remake to make it like you originally wanted and then….it gets killed by another, separate writers strike.
