strike on Heroes

So far all that has been told about Heroes: Origins is that it has been postponed. From my assumptions, it might mean that the scripts were already written and only the airing has to be decided.

I hear ya. Heroes is my addiction. I miss it and I start going through withdrawals until I get my fix. What really gets me though is that even if the strike ended now we wouldn't be seeing new episodes until possibly a few months past the original scheduled air date for volume three, and forget about origins, unless they already filmed those. Anybody heard anything about Heroes: Origins since they originally announced it?

From what I heard it's all about DVD royalties, which make up like 2% of the entirety of all industry revenue, so it may not even be the full 2% maybe less. Although if it really isn't that much money, why not just give it to them and resolve all this quickly?

What is 2% compared to the loss of production? These writers deserve to be compensated fair enough. Without them there won't be any TV series, movies, etc. to be filmed. It's their creativity which makes the industry and production companies earn millions or perhaps billions of dollars. I'm not saying they should get paid with the same amount like the actors and actresses but at least they should get fair compensation.

Yeah, especially since, (I felt) the first few eps of this season didn't move the story along very well. I heard talk about Heroes fans abandoning the series if it doesn't come back soon and I think they should be ashamed. Have a lil patience people, it's one of the best shows ever created, it's definitely worth waiting a few months for. They'll be agonizing, but the payoff will definitely be worth it. I dunno about you guys, but the second I saw Claire jump off the silo or whatever it was and then put her arm back into place, I was addicted. Making an immortal character can be a very bad thing if you don't do it right, but I think they really pulled it off.

yep thats what heard too. The major stumbling block is the internet. Part of the problem I heard is the networks aren't sure about new digital markets and how it will all pan out but yet writers want their guaranteed royalties despite fact no one is sure how new market will develop and how much profit if any will make from it.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, it's so hard to regulate the internet that nobody is really 100% sure how any internet business will pan out. Not to mention how hard it is to make money from digital media simply because it's so easy for it to be downloaded and shared for free.
