IF they do end up striking the filming will continue for as long as they have scripts at the ready prior to the strike.  Writing would halt when the strike is to begin.  It is my understanding  that if the writers do strike that filming will continue on for as long as they have available scripts to work with.  So if the strike does in fact begin around May 1 the cast would continue filming the episodes for which scripts have already been written.  Also remember that when Gimple appeared on The Talking Dead finale he made mention of the first four episodes being mind melting, so we know at that time there were at the very least 4 scripts at the ready.  I would not be surprised if they have at least 8 of the 16 scripts ready before a strike would begin.

But once again I am keeping an optimistic view until a final decision has been made.  And even then I will remain hopeful that if they do strike that a quick resolution can be found between the opposing parties.

With that said, yeah I understand the heat you are talking about...I live in it!!  I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area so hot as hell summers are the norm here also.

Do you watch Fear the Walking Dead by chance?  Or Preacher?

COOL.....myself along with Pepperann (Wendy) Gregsgirl, cavedeth watch fear the walking and will be doing live reactions if you are interested.  not sure if anyone else watches though.

wendy and I also watch Preacher along with Jen (she goes by Jen7 on the other forum).  Jen started a Preacher forum so when that show starts we will be over there doing live reactions.  You should join us there also.  Here is the link to the preacher forum www.preacherforums.com/

The cast is beginning to descend upon georgia.....Andy arrived in Atlanta this weekend, several fans of posted pics taken with him at the Atlanta airport

With the filming of season 8 set to begin on Monday May 1 we have some decisions to make!

Would you like me to start a filming discussion thread and also a filming pictures thread in the spoiler section?

If so I do think that those visiting that thread should keep in mind that this site works a bit differently than the other site when searching the "recent posts".  On this site the entire post shows up.  So for those who do not like spoilers it is going to be a land mine for them to navigate the forum without being spoiled.  My suggestion is that anyone posting in those two threads, put there information and photos in spoiler tags. That way those who want to keep up with who is and who is not filming can do so BUT at the same time respecting those who wish to remain spoiler free.   Does that sound doable to everyone? 

Also remember to give credit for any information and photos that you share.  I know that the people associated with The Spoiling Dead Fans put in a great deal of effort in obtaining their photos and information.  It is only right that we credit them along with any of their members for the information we receive from them or any other source.

Awesome pics danae! Also as for the spoilers I think that is a good idea. And you and I can clean up the ones that forget. Lol

But also.....checking recent threads instead of recent posts cuts down on seeing anything you don't wanna see.

Yesss! Filming is beginning! I didn't follow spoilers as much for Season 7 - usually let my mom read them first and let me know if its major (ie. any sort of deaths lol).

And I watch FTWD!!!! I'm a little concerned with the direction they're heading in (another military base with a potential dictatorship? hmm)
