[Superhero]

WWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about that. The networks will negotiate with the WGA and most likely concede some demands. It will probably take them...oh...3 weeks, at most, to work out an arrangement.

Dude, do you run Got-Heroes or something? You're always promoting them. This story ran last FRIDAY on our site.

Its not official. Although the article title clearly makes it seem so, the only thing that's official is that the strike is on. If a deal is sooner than later, there's still a chance the series could continue this season. Not sure what the chances are of an early deal happening are, but all the same Heroes is NOT officially done at this hour.

hopefully the networks will start negotiating soon with the writers

[BaseballerX]

they have been negotiating...but its been more like "negotiating". I read that the WGA met with them for 11 hours on sunday but still got nowhere...hence why we still have a strike on our hands

Some of the actors/show hosts are supporting the WGA. Steve Carrell didn't show up for the most recent shoot for The Office.

I'll miss having a full season of Heroes, but I'm glad Tim Kring decided he was more a writer than a producer. Showrunners are in the worst position in this strike, but it's been heartening to see how many of them have decided to honor the picket lines.

Management walked out of the negotiations Sunday because the WGA East went ahead with calling the strike at midnight despite requests to hold off until the negotiations were through.

However, the scribes came to the negotiations Sunday with the understanding that they would take DVD residuals completely off the table. This was an effort to get the negotiations back on track because DVD residuals are near and dear to their hearts. As it is, they're only getting 4¢ per DVD.

Instead they concentrated on New Media (interweb, cell phones, itunes, etc) for which they normally get paid no residuals at all. So if all the people on this site streamed last season's finale dozens of times, the writer got zilch. And any advertising revenue from the web site and the actual streaming goes straight into the studio's pockets. And believe me, if I see a Nissan Rogue one more time, I will smash my laptop! (Well, maybe not. )

And don't forget -- most writers aren't as well paid as our Heroes scribes. If a writer sends in spec scripts, he only gets $10,000 per script plus residuals. Sounds like a lot, but try to stretch $10,000 out over a year in California. Most writers have day jobs. It's those writers this strike is for.

If it cancels. Someone dies.
