Breaking: Dec. 3rd the Season 2 Finale?
TV Guide has contacted us again, it looks like NBC and Heroes are continuing to prepare for the worst. This writer’s strike just got a little more real for fans of Heroes. TV Guide’s Mike Ausiello has some frightening news:
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.
We’ll keep our ears to the floor for further information about this strike, an 11th hour meeting last night wasn’t able to move anything forward.
I’m not liking this. If that’s the case I’m getting a team together and we are heading for California. If they don’t find a way to stop this it will be the end. Let just see what happens.
I bet other series are doing the same. Heroes is not the only show affected by this. I hope this resolves soon so we don’t lose any good shows.
wow are you kidding me. i’m assuming the changes made to the plot as a result of this would totally suck. this is lame
This actually works out fairly well in the case of Heroes. They were planning to wrap up Volume 2 anyway, so if they have to end the season then, at least they won’t leave us hanging too much. I’m sure other shows will be in much worse situations mid-season.
It is literally the 11th hour.
~s~
I’m so glad there are no TV shows I’m so hooked on. The writers’ strike doesn’t effect me, and it’s effect on everyone else is that you all have to entertain yourselves for a while. I guess I don’t understand why so many people prefer to watch fictitious characters live lives instead of living their own.
haha and why are you posting on a heroes fan site?…
Ahh, the joys of the disgusting Socialist concept known as unionized labor.
Excuse me while I say, “This will suck”. If there’s only 11 episodes, Heroes will take a serious hit.
I don’t like this.
This is total crap. Makes a whole lot of since too. Lets just stop writing, hold the TV companies hostage until they pay us more money, fuck the fans they’ll watch whatever we decide to let them watch, and all because the writers can’t write scripts anymore because some god damn union nobody has ever heard of decided they’re not getting paid as much as they think they should. It sounds like nothing but a legal shakedown, something organized crime has been doing to shop owners for years. Shame on the writers for letting good shows die, shame on the studios for not keeping these shows alive, shame on unions who are nothing more than a bunch of glorified prostitutes, and shame on any fan who does not shout out at the top of their fucking lungs, “We will not take this shit any longer.” Hell, if NBC wanted to end this crap go online and I bet you’ll find thousands of people who could write a script for a heroes episode and would even do it for free.
