Actors’ Strike Set To Impact Star Trek Production And Promotion, Including Summer Conventions

Exactly, and I wish headlines would better reflect this. The strike is a natural outcome of studio fuckery.

Not just wages, conditions too like to get paid having to sign away your likeness to be used in all future movies

And they also want to scan actors for the studios' use.

Star Trek is basically only available via streaming platforms or piracy these days.

One of the reasons studios have enjoyed such great profits on the move to streaming is because the contracts for the writers and actors cause them to get paid way, way, way less for a streamed show than with regular syndication.

Meaning the people making Star Trek are some of the ones who stand to gain the absolute most from the outcome of this strike. All power to them.

I've got a million other things to catch up on, so I'll survive without new content for a few months. I suspect most of us will.

It sucks that the studio heads forced this on us, but I will stand in spirit with the striking artists for as long as it takes to make the studios see their worth.
