Coming to terms with "pencils down"

As you may or may not know, the writers guild of america is on strike. All writers of TV shows are part of this guild, and they have put their pencils down. Anyone who knows me knows that I love good TV (which I define as my favorite shows), so this was troubling news. So I found this video that is supposed to help us understand what's going on.



So, I get it, but to me, the whole thing boils down to watching reruns after Christmas, and that's not cool. Which Heroes will turn evil? Will Chuck and the Piemaker move on because they can't touch? Will Senator McAlister get the presidential bid? (probably not...) All the answers are in those writer's pencils and they've put them down. Lets hope they come to a resolution quickly! (The last strike apparently lasted 5 months...)
