This is a tiny bit off topic, but I assume that you guys know about the writers' strike by now?
Basically members of the Writer's Guild of America are striking because they are barely getting any money from TV DVD releases/iTunes sales/episodes streaming online because the networks are greedy. Most scripted shows have enough episodes to last until January.
However:
"Heroes' second season may be coming to a close a lot sooner than expected due to the forthcoming apocalypse, also known in some circles as the damn writers' strike.
Sources confirm that the show is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current "Generations" arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped."
Stupid labor unions, ruining everything...
Rant over. I hope beyond hope that this strike doesn't ruin Heroes, and hope even more that it doesn't get in the way of LOST this season.
