Aannnnnd Stranger Things season 5 filming is officially delayed. Or, at least, the Duffers have said they can't work on it during the strike.

This will be interesting because Netflix has a bad habit of starting amazing shows and dropping them, no ending, etc. Stranger Things is a flagship they actually committed to. Most of their back catalog is unfinished shows. The Shadow and Bone subreddits have been coordinating 'grinding' parties of watching Shadow and Bone over and over in hopes of getting the numbers up for a season 3.

If you, like me, are suddenly seeing a bunch of people ask what a writer's strike is, what's going on, etc. This Nerdist video doesn't get into everything, but it's a good explainer for people who have no context at all.

I guess this means I will definitely get to that 'how I would write season 5' fic!

...ouch. That doesn't sound promising at all...

Yeah, dunno what is going to happen but currently signs are pointing to this strike being a long one.

Yeah, we'll see what Netflix does with that. My hope is still that the strike nets the writers everything they want and deserve, and that the studios capitulate the way they already should have... but they clearly haven't been interested in doing the right thing, so.

But hey - chance to definitely write that fic is a silver lining, ha.
