What? Heroes is coming to a break? Why? How?

Writers Strike, dude. All scripted programming except news is having to go dark after they show the episodes they already had made when the strike took effect. Heroes had more than most shows, though, so that's at least a small blessing.

It's not even a break really. It's looking increasingly likely that the strike means a shorter season....we're not going to see a hiatus, we're going to see the season end with only half the episodes it was supposed to get.

Oh, yeah, don't think for a second that I'm saying the writers are wrong to be striking. I definitely side with them in this fight. But the studios are pretty upset with the writers right now and things don't look good for this season, is the point.

I've been thinking, shouldn't Peter also exhibit Sylar's power of intuitive understanding as well?

Oh okay because they haven't made any announcement that Heroes was gonna go on a "break." I thought Heroes wasn't affected by the strike.

Everything is affected by the strike except news and some cartoons. Fox's animated lineup is affected, but they tend to be produced so long before they're made that it won't be an issue. South Park would probably be a sticking point, since it's produced and written the week of, but their season is over anyway, and I'm not sure if they're WGA shows.

The thing with television and movies is that everything is controlled by the guilds. And in a year, the actors' and directors' contracts are up for renegotiation, so if the studios really want to be bitches, they can make it happen again.

Now her brother is dead I actually start to like the whole Maya/Sylar storyline.

Yeah, this week's Maya/Alejandro storyline wasn't exactly up to bar with the other storylines but at least I'm starting to like it a bit more.

Anyway, cool ep. Now it's certain that Adam is a villain though, I wonder how long it'll take Peter to notice this.

Wouldn't it have made more sense for Hiro to properly explain what Adam was up to and reason with Peter rather than say a few words and run at him with a sword screaming?
