Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens in the new season. Even though we only get 8 episodes now, we should get a 24-episode season after the strike ends.

The writers have now lost more money due to the strike then they hoped to gain in their new deal. That sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The studios are actually resolving it. They're creating more and more reality TV, where they don't need writers. The ratings might be low, but they're higher then constant repeats. I'm sure the studios would rather take in some money from ads and ratings by putting on crappy reality tv instead of putting on repeats that no one's going to watch anyway.
I'm so sick of the strike that, depending how and when it ends, I probably won't be watching anymore TV period (beyond Discovery, History, TLC, etc).
