The main issues this time include the studios' contribution to health care funds, DVD residuals and jurisdiction over areas like the booming "reality" TV genre.I think that the health care contribution is the most deserving aspect of the talks. Of course, the biggest roadblock is the DVD residuals as it involves the majority of the potential money. My guess is that the writers will cave on the residuals, at least in large part.

Putting down the pens
I was hoping that us writers could persuade the studios to agree to some fairly simple things before the contract expiration.
