Cross-Fandom News - The Writers Strike - 'Heroes' mentioned in 'Atlantis' article
I thought that some Heroes fans might be interested in reading the following article at Gateworld. Yes it is about Stargate: Atlantis, but Heroes is briefly mentioned with some info.
Writers strike: What fate Stargate?
The Heroes bit:
Though popular science fiction shows such as Heroes have already been affected (the 6-episode spin-off Heroes: Origins has been shelved, and a new ending shot to allow the mid-season finale to be aired as a season finale), others -- including Stargate Atlantis -- are already far ahead in the production cycle. All of Atlantis's fourth season has been filmed, with episodes in the second half of the season currently at various stages of post production.
Also a Battlestar Galactica mention:
Other shows on SCI FI Channel apparently are affected by the strike, including NBC Universal's Battlestar Galactica -- which is staffed by many Americans despite the fact that it is filmed in Canada, just down the road from Stargate. If the WGA strike doesn't affect the production of Atlantis, it certainly could affect the show's broadcast schedule.
Personal Commentary: I am kinda of meh about Heroes right now. I am much more worried about Supernatural (and Smallville and House, but not really). I am really glad that Atlantis doesn't seem to be in any danger (of what, exactly, though? :P). But I swear to God in Heaven, if they push Battlestar's 4th season back or split in up in anyway...Ooooh, the studio big wigs will wish they just gave the writers what the wanted (and deserve). No Joke. I will pitch a fit the likes of which has never been seen or ever will be seen again! Also, I can't say I am particularly excited for the oncoming surge in Reality TV. Shoot me now.
