Heroes Season 2 Ends Today

As you probably are already aware, today is the last episode for “Heroes: Season 2”. This is of course due to the writers’ strike in the USA.

Sources confirmed that the show has filmed an alternate ending that would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of the strike. Originally this episode “Powerless” was only supposed to function as a conclusion to the current volume “Generations”.

Good news is, if the writers’ strike comes to a conclusion soon, they may go back into production for another shortened season, to end before May.

TV Guide’s, Matt Roush has some answers for fans saying, “Tonight’s episode is absolutely not the series finale — Heroes is going to run for years, trust me — and everyone’s hoping it won’t be the season finale, either. The situation is that this episode is the “finale” of the current virus-threat arc, or at least that’s how it’s being billed, and this is the last completed episode before the strike shut down production. When the strike is over — let’s all hope it’s soon — filming will resume for the back half of the season. There may be more of a gap between episodes than the show or the network would have preferred, but unless the strike drags on indefinitely, there will be more Heroes before the season is over. How many or when, no one can say just yet.”

So with that good news, what are we looking forward to tonight?
