SCI FI Wire reports that Heroes will wrap early if the writers strike is more than a quick demonstration:

TV Guide.com reported that producers of NBC's Heroes are shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that will wrap up the second season early in the event an expected writers' strike prevents the show from continuing with new episodes.

I'll say this: the strike will certainly get my attention if this happens. I don't watch tons of TV, but I do love Heroes. Going back to my earlier assertion though, I think any right/wrong assessment between the writers and producers misses the real problem: if this strike lasts long enough to take out shows like Heroes, the long term audience toll could end up surprising all sides. I'm not sure either side is thinking clearly about that.
