I have a very strong feeling that it's going to be a cliff hangar, since this wasn't suppose to be the end of the season to begin with, before the stupid WGA strike. Stupid greedy people.

Chapter 3 is taking place after the new year, this is the end of chapter 2.

And yes, you should be watching, by far the best show on TV.

Is it the season finale or is it the last one produced before the writer's strike?

If it is the finale, what's taking it's place after the New year?

It is the finale, because there are no more new shows written for the rest of the year. Almost every network show has run out of new scripts, so after Jan., TV will feature a bunch of reality shows/repeats/and shows that weren't picked up but they have some back ordered scripts on i.e. Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Is this true??? I've read there are no more scripts for Heroes so they stopped production. Along with almost every other show out there. And 24 won't even air this season at all.

I tried Battlestar, it was just too dorky.

No way. It's so well written. Plus, they take themes from the news today and put it into the show. There's no real spin to it. They show all sides.

The only problem I have is "Frak."

Now, remember this is coming from a guy who watches Smallville and records Journeyman every week. Great show.

Anyone watch Life? I really starting to get into that.

Of course that was before this whole writer strike. I thought 24 was all done... but of course I have not seen any ads for it, so maybe it is not coming back.

The problem is this writers strike is going to go on for a long time. The writers are dead wrong in this one, and the studios are not going to back down.

I've heard the writers are asking for residuals from media that isn't even invented yet. It's just like those people that are buying land on the moon expecting to get paid some day.

I'd say 2nd best show. I LOVE Battlestar Galaticca. Am I a dork? Yes. Do I care? No.


Do you post your sci-fi watching schedule into outlook? When I was a student working at CIRAS anything you put into your outlook calendar was for public view. One of the receptionists posted what shows she watched onto the sci-fi channel. Nerd Alert.

Yeah, they are asking a lot. They have no risk involved, if the writing is terrible and the studio loses money on it, they still get paid a ton. I wish my job would give me a portion of company profits when we do well.

Yeah, no. I only really watch one show on Sci Fi.

Not exactly. What the writers want are double their home video rate (from $.04 to $.08) and a cut of when it's sold on the internet (i.e. itunes) and the streaming video that the networks place on their websites, since they sell advertising for it, but they say it's promotion, and under the last contract, they don't get paid for promotion for the show


I honestly think this thing will be settled by Christmas, because if goes any longer than that there's a good chance next season could be scuttled.

I love heroes, but it's no Lost.
