Another Heroes causality from the WGA strike could be Heroes' second season.
Michael Ausiello is reporting that Heroes will be filming an alternate ending to its winter finale if the strike continues on for a few weeks.
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.
Heroes is just one of the many shows that will be effected due to the WGA strike, but it will not be the first one that we will feel it from. The daily day of talk shows will start feeling it tomorrow, then the soaps and then scripted programming. Hopefully this strike will end quickly or we will be back in the same boat in a few months when the SAG and DGA's contracts are up.
But I do have to say something positive that came out of the Heroes news at least the Generations arc has an end date because that storyline bores me so far.
