With a writers deal apparently in the offing, now's a time to pause and ask about favored nations. The questions are simple: First, if the writers gain an improvement over the directors deal, will the directors "retroactively" get the benefit of the writers bargain? Maybe so - they may insist on it (note that their membership hasn't yet been asked to ratify their deal, and might refuse to do so without the retroactive improvements).
