I read this news this morning and I thought it was just a big, huge, stupid joke. But to my dissappointment TV Guide confirmed and validated the news.

"Heroes' second season may be coming to a close a lot sooner than expected due to the forthcoming apocalypse, also known in some circles as the damn writers' strike.

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.

In related news, the reality of this whole thing is only now hitting me. And I'm not happy."

And according to other related news, this problem is not experienced by Heroes alone. Popular series like Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives will also meet the same fate if the Hollywood Writer's strike can't be stopped.

I hope authorities will fix this mess as soon as possible. I don't want my Claire Bear and Sparky Elle go away for good.
