DO NOT HOUND THE ACTORS FOR INFO ABOUT SEASON 2

This SAG strike is a no promotion strike, meaning that if any actor who is a part of the guild promotes a show or movie in any way, they will be kicked out of the union.

This also goes for the writer's strike. The writers being on strike means that the editing for the show has most likely come to a complete stop. Any edit or change to the show requires approval from the writers, and if they give any feedback during the strike, they can be kicked out of the union.

This is why we haven't heard any news about Season 2. The editors and effects people literally CAN'T do their job during the strike.

IT'S TIME TO STOP COMPLAINING AND START SUPPORTING THE WRITERS AND ACTORS AND EDITORS WHOSE LIVLIHOODS ARE AT STAKE!

Ahh I remember about the time Misha had hip surgery. He said that a week after his surgery (?) the showrunner told him to run a scene, and they couldn't cancel because they didn't have a backup plan for him. And he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. And that's not just one of the times he was mistreated while filming (The time he got food poisoning and had to vomit into a bucket while filming during the Leviathan arc). So it's no surprise that he looked a lot weaker as the show came to an end.

Wow, I didnt know about that. Making him run after literally A WEEK after a hip surgery???? That's just effed up. no other words for it.

Misha has talked about leviathan scene so I remember that and even then they wouldn't stop until Jensen stood up and was like 'this is not happening'!

Like couldn't the director see he was in no shape to give a performance?

Another thing I just realized was when Misha told the production that his son would be born on 25th sept, so he even asked to not be written heavily in the episode (like he didn't even ask for them to cater the schedule acc to him he seriously asked them to not write him in the episode, which he shouldn't have had to do) SIX months in advance and they still didn't listen. He was adamant not to miss his son's birth so he left and they literally called him 2 hours later to ask 'if the baby had been born yet'? Like dudes, that's no way to treat the actor playing one your most popular main characters.

In a weird way, it’s kind of exciting? It feels like tomorrow is the first day of school. We’re supposed to get our picket line assignments in the morning — obviously will immediately be followed by texting everyone I know to see where they’ll be. I’m kind of looking forward to my first shift, going and finding out who all are going to be my co-workers, so to speak, for the foreseeable future. Will they be nice? Tomorrow am I going to meet someone for the first time who is going to turn out to be a lifelong friend? Anyway, Union strong!

Why did you give Strike such a long tail?

There's definitely a larger rationale that led to giving him such a long appendage, but the most truncated way to put it is "because it looks cool."

While most of the crew is reliant on additional weaponry to various extents for combat, Strike uses a more direct, physical fight style. His tail being his primary weapon can lead to what I hope will be interesting and unique battles between him and our duo. It challenges me also to be more creative in his capabilities.

I also wanted to convey a slithering vibe without going the obvious route of making him a snake. You're supposed to feel kinda unsettled when he appears. The tail can be a powerful, visually dramatic way to take up more space and immediately feel like he's dominating a scene. It's all about making him intimidating and having a visual device that can work well for doing unique compositions too.

As silly and almost illogical as it looks, if the story can suspend a reader's disbelief enough for its sake, then I'll feel I've achieved that goal.

Because I am literally never not thinking about weird meta, blurring lines between reality and narrative, and the whole concept of actors becoming their characters, I am now entertaining thoughts of a Shadow of the Vampire-style story wherein a late-2010s-style all-female The Lost Boys remake gets derailed when the lead actress suddenly starts not showing up to shooting because she's sleeping all day...

Did you guys hear Disneyland Cast Members voted to strike?

It was nearly unanimous too, 99% of the unionized cast members voted in favor of the strike. This doesn't necessarily mean they will strike, more that when the union rep shows up to the negotiation table on Monday they'll have that extra bit of leverage. Hopefully that'll be enough to win them living wages and such. I don't have anything intelligent to say, I just feel a kind of way about this subject, I'm going to put my opinions under the cut.

Ok, look, I love Disneyland. Love it with a passion. You know what reminded me this was happening and prompted me to look up the story? I was thinking of updating this card I made for one of the many games I've come up with to play in Disneyland because I have a weird variety of hyper-fixation when it comes to that park specifically.

So I am not speaking an ounce of hyperbole when I say Disneyland is my favorite place in the world.

But! Whoever the hell is making the big decisions around there needs to get their head out of their ass. I don't know if I should be blaming Bob Iger or Josh D'Amaro for the way the parks have been since the pandemic, but I'm going to blame both. I can deal with them experimenting with Genie Plus (I hate it but I'm used to capitalism), and I can sort of deal with the prices (I can't afford them easily but I'm saving up), but Disneyland has very clearly been trying to cut labor costs for a while now and it's incredibly baffling to watch. It feels like the parks are being run by somebody with a business degree from a sketchy "college" and zero experience with the real world.

They're cutting back on shows, overworking their existing staff, and skipping regular maintenance so they can operate the park with a smaller maintenance team. Overall it results in a worse experience for the customer, making it less likely that they'll convert new guests into returning fans like myself. While Disney World is a major tourist attraction that most people consider a once in a life time experience, Disneyland has always had a steady revenue from local Californians that return again and again. If you frequent forums about the parks you hear all about folks who live in SoCal that buy their annual pass (I know that's not what it's currently called, but that's what it is) and use it to get into the parks just to have dinner or rove around and maybe grab a churro. They might not be paying for Iger's next yacht, but those folks are providing a reliable revenue stream, and they go back again and again because for decades Disneyland has maintained a "magical" atmosphere.

And I feel like it's fairly obvious that the front line workers are the ones that make Disneyland what it is. Right? Like I'm not crazy, we all agree Disneyland would be nothing without the hard work of these cast members, right?

Why are they-? You need front line workers, why wouldn't you-? Do they not have years of research and experience backing up how beneficial a well paid staff is? I love the Incredicoaster but if all I wanted was thrill rides, Six Flags is an hour closer and a whole lot cheaper. I'm going for the complicated rides that require their own pit crew like Mickey's Runaway Railroad. Why are we even still having this conversation? I get that people like Bob Iger are a bit insulated from the rest of us, but the relationship between a happy staff and profit is well documented. Why wouldn't they just...? In the Disneyland subreddit a retired cast member post the Benefits Binder he got back when he worked for Disneyland and this thing was thick, it included health, retirement, and stock options. Somebody somewhere must have known that whittling down benefits while stagnating pay was not sustainable. Right?!

Like I said, I don't have anything intelligent to add to this conversation, but to be honest, I think everything intelligent to add has already been added. I'm just annoyed for my own sake and downright pissed for the sake of the cast members. I hope they get everything they ask for on Monday, and if they don't, I hope the strike knocks some sense into everybody it needs to.
