Oh wow, that's insane. I wonder what else they stole.

Hmm? They say the security at a production vendor was compromised. One assumes a post-facility of some type.
I imagine life at that company is pretty shitty right now.

Wow, rip.
I just remember when ANN tried to do anime streaming and people just entered a random URL and managed to download an anime episode before it even aired in Japan. I don't think any heads rolled, but as you can see, they no longer offer any anime streaming on their site.
I assumed it was as bad as that. lol
Nope, they got into the post-production studio that was doing the ADR.
Also, just to update this thread, Netflix didn't play and pay up and the guy has now released 10 of the episodes (possibly all he has?) onto the Pirate Bay.
Smart move by Netflix. While this'll hurt them a little, it at least establishes a precedent for other hackers that Netflix doesn't pay and maybe dissuades those hacker groups just looking for money.
Yeah the hackers have exposed themselves to risk for no return.. good precedent to set.
I'm surprised The CW hasn't expanded onto Sunday nights yet. I feel like they would do fairly well there.
Just move Supernatural to anchor the night with a new show since it's successful wherever the hell CW moves it.

The affiliates would never give those hours back to the network. There's more chance of me starting a thread entitled "RTTP: Dollhouse is actually a masterpiece" than there is of CW ever programming more than the 10 hours they do now.
Somewhere out there Ratsky just twitched and spoke to no one particular "Another one on Sunday? What terror hath God wrought for me"

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yeah, exactly. CW programmed Sundays at the begining but eventually turned it back over to the affiliates. They will practically never get that time back now.
They would have to become a ratings juggernaut to the point where their largest affiliates would be begging them to program Sundays.

Meh, that wouldn't bother me - it's hardly like The CW makes anything worth watching anyway

I love the network but it's hard to argue that anyone gives a shit about it when three of the last four shows they aired this week (Riverfail, The Originals and Reign) couldn't even get 1,000,000 viewers in the overnight numbers.

They should make The Circle (movie this weekend) into a tv show...could do well.
I don't know what could possibly lead you to that conclusion.

Well, the last time a CW show had the word Circle in the title it was a massive hit, so what could go wrong?
To be fair, Dollhouse S2 is awesome so I would hope that's a likely scenario!

They make it sound like social engineering or something. And it sounds like the only reason they released OITNB is because they are going "nuclear" and hoping that other studios/networks will pay:
So... this isn't over yet...

If the hackers hurt Quantico will they get charged with defiling a corpse?

It is looking like the writer strike is going to happen...

Darn :/ If it does go through, I guess that will give me time to catch up on a lot of tv backlog I have...

Not a surprise which also annoyed the shit out of me when it ended on a cliffhanger, that sucks, I enjoyed Pitch when it didn't devolve into soapy romantic bullshit.

Here's hoping that all the big shows already wrote their season finales then!

Shouldn't everything airing this year already have been written? Maybe next season stuff is in jeopardy.
Lucifer returns tonight after 24 took its slot for 12 weeks, should be 5 more episodes total (including this week) for season 2. They weirdly added like 6 (?) episodes to season 2 after the network wanted more, filmed them, then moved those 6 to season 3 to preserve the strength of the season finale (i guess the 6 episodes are more a short arc). Ironically, if the strike goes through, season 3 may end up getting delayed.
Not surprised about Pitch, TV shows that are about escapism are what seem popular (I wonder why). I'm happy for a strike though, I've got roughly 40 shows to watch and 6-18 months of no new TV would provide a great time to do it.
If I'm remembering right, there were issues during the last strike where the showrunners weren't involved in edits of shows during post-production, so that's a possible issue. Plus if something is filming there won't be tweaks or day-of rewrites (though I'm not sure how prevalent that is on a stricter TV schedule versus films).

I managed to get through about 5 minutes of American Gods before turning it off. I know it's been a while since I read the book, but WTF was all that on the beach with the blood all over the place and super gory nonsense?
Yes, but I'm just afraid of any casualties that might happen because of it. Plus, like kevin1025 said, the writers won't be there for anything that might need tweaking.

Bring back "Girl Meets Glass Ceiling," Stump.
There's no crying in cancellations.

listen to the mad man
A big and troubling issue for consumers of TV is that a strike will mostly trigger force majeure clauses, which allow networks to dissolve existing contracts.

Please dont affect Zoo Season 3.

All of the current season shows on broadcast are finished (S3 of The Flash, S4 SHIELD, etc).
There are a ton of cable series that are currently being written and filmed (like Halt & Catch Fire, Ray Donovan, Queen Sugar, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, etc. etc. etc.) that are set to premiere this later this year that will be completely fucked by the writer's strike.
