alright! i hope that is true, and i hope we dont have to worry about this writers strike crap anymore. i mean seriously all they care about is their money. im sure they make PLENTY of money already, freakin get over it! i mean, what about us normal people? we can handle making around minimum wage and THEY cant handle the tons of money THEY get? seriously... greedy people.

Attention everyone! I've got great news!

The writer strike is not going to affect Heroes! Read more here: Heroes saved!

I don´t get it...so will there be the end on December or not?
Sorry, English isn´t my first language and I have a little trouble to understand to the article.

I wonder if Supernatural has ended too, then.

Is there a list somewhere that shows what shows will be affected?

... Even though this sucks, I am willing for HEROES to be coming to an end early... Call me an A-Hole, but realize that I am right...

Can't Micah just go to the bank automat, get the money and pay whoever wants to be payed?
get the money, save the world.

LOL, wouldn't that be nice. If only it was that simple. It's not just about these particular writers getting paid right now, it's about making sure that future generations of writers will be fairly compensated as well. That's why the writers are demanding to be paid for their material when it gets distributed through sources like iTunes and Amazon.com's downloading service. Both sides realize that the entertainment industry is rapidly changing-- new media, like the internet, are becoming increasingly important. The producers want to wait a few years and see what happens with the "new media" before deciding on how much compensation writers should get from it (most likely so they can ensure that they, the producers, continue getting the lion's share of the profits), and the writers want the issue of "new media" decided upon immediately. As far as I know, this is what the strike is mainly about-- the WGA was willing to pull their DVD residuals proposal off the table during the negotiations last weekend, if the networks would then be willing to agree on the new media issue. The networks still refused to make a fair deal, so the strike went forward and now the DVD proposal is, from what I've heard, back on the table.

(This is just what I've read, but I may have misinterpreted the info. Please do correct me if I'm mistaken. The last thing I want is to spread misinformation!)

Hey everyone, new here... just to let everyone know... writers need love too...

They could always let the fans write for it. It would be better than the current arcs /:

"With everyone at "Heroes" working at top speed, the show's team was able to come up with a second season with two volumes of episodes, comic book-style - and if need be, the volumes could be split into two separate seasons, since they were self-contained. The first story arc, called "Volume II: Generations," lasts 11 episodes, ending with "Powerless," scheduled to air December 3. If the writers' strike continues long enough to be disruptive to air the second story arc, "Powerless" can become the season finale, and the second self-contained arc, "Volume III," could kick off season three"

(from here)

so...just to clarify...this is what we already knew - they will finish the 1st arc of Season 2 on December 3rd, then if the strike isnt resolved, the 2nd arc of Season 2 will air next fall, followed by Season 3? I'm confused as to whether they've written/filmed any of the 2nd arc yet...

if they had written the 2nd arc then they would be able to produce it. They may have 1 or 2 episodes written for the 2nd arc but there's currently no point in continuing production for them as the strike 'could' last months, by which time they would've long run out of material (scripts).

This is why they have written and produced an alternative ending to arc 1 (episode 11) which will now act as a season finale, unless the strike comes to an end sometime soon.

As for the 2nd arc in the current situation..it will either air as a 2nd half to S2 in the fall or they will produce an 'extended' season 3. We await word on what will happen once Dec 3 nears.

ive got one word
GUTTED

i just reckon this is stupid. In the middle of Heroes too. Just when I was really looking forward to the new season, and recently became a fan of it.

It's like my interest was all for nothing.

And Fall, you're talking the US fall, which will be September 08 right? That is really bad, I see Heroes being lost interest now especially by casual viewers who have no idea this is even happening.

If they make a season with 11, it could hit the show very hard and piss people off, and the fact that they would have to wait another year is ridiculous.

Just give them what they want and shut them all up.

Actually retract you should be happy you even have a job and that you're writing for one of the world's most favourite shows get over it finish the 24 episodes and bring it up next season not when you're only halfway through, that's just horrible timing on your part.

This sucks bigtime! I mean here is finally a good show that you know you'll be able to see the end of because its way too popular for dumb executives to cancel... and then the writers fail? Why must good shows always get slaughtered?

My god, when I read this it pisses me of so bad.
Season 2 just started, FRIGGIN JUST STARTED.
And were already getting screwed over.
OMG whahahahahah september, it's laughable thats actually what it is.

Looks like it's right stolen from an comedy show, millions of fans anxiously waiting for new episodes, and BAMM 11 episodes later: that was it suckers, now browse the forums for info for the next 10 months.

Bloody american tv, why couldnt they record the whole thing at once before airing it, so all they would have left to post production, which doesnt consist of writers. why does america have to be different to the world in everything they do????

I respect everyones opinion, but I disagree with those who think that the writers are being selfish.

First of all $37,000 is not much in California, and while it may be enough to support a modest family, why should the men and women who write the nation's/world's tv shows work for so little???

Second, compare the writer's piddly income with that of the networks excuatives and the actors and it truly is unfair.

Yes, the show would not be the show without the input/work from everyone, from the techs to the make-up artists, but the truth is, those people wouldn't have jobs, if the writers didn't churn out a good show.

The writers don't just sit there eating from the buffet all day, they have to concot stories that revolve and complitment eachother. They have to worry about bugeting, and how certain storylines/plots/characters can work with the buget. They also have to maintain an up-beat, edgy image with shocking characters/abilities/stunt and an addicting story-line. They have to make viewers love/hate certain characters. They have to maintain a certain emotional balance, by being selective of which scenes follow which. The writers are the reason that there are DVD's and other fan merchandise. They are the reason that we are here debating this. They deserve more than $37,000 a year!

I am angry that we have to suffer by losing our show early this year, but that is not the fault of the writers, it is the greedy/ungrateful networks who refuse to compensate the true creators of the show! (By networks I mean whoever is responsible for this part of bugeting/income)

Agree or Disagree???? Whatever you think, please be respetful!

Only rich people can pull this off...its incredible...
Most of us have to work 9 to 5 and get payed 50 times LESS then anyone involved with the heroes show... WE SHOULD ALL GO ON A STRIKE!

Viva La Revolucion.

this sort of thing always annoys me when people go on strike over pay, if you don't like the pay, don't accept the job its quite simple really!
