Stttttt-rrrrrikeThe Writers Guild of America strike in the US is about to head over to the UK

I am about to watch episode 11 of Heroes season 2 thanks to newsgroups and my movie streaming Xbox. It eppears however that this may just be the last episode for a while as the strike has affected future episodes, not only a delay, but a possible end to season 2 with a re-write of the final epiode. This also affects the spin-off show Heroes: Origins which is now likely to be canned.

Let's just hope they can reach an agreement soon (pay the writers what they're asking for) so I can get back to watching a fantastic show.

Also affected are;

• Bionic Woman - up to episode 7,
  
• 24 Season 7 - Postponed indefinately in the US and UK as there are only 9 episodes ready
• Prison Break - 12 episodes completed
• Nip/Tuck - 14 (of 22) ready

US TV

I dont know why they dont just have US TV Channels such as Fox (Owned by Mr Rupert "SKY" Murdoch) and NBC, that way I don't have to resort to watching some fantastic TV that I've had to download from t'internet.

I am watching the second season of Heroes, without giving too much away it is just as good, if not better that season one. I am only on episode 4 but it follows on nicely Potential Spoiler follows in white text "and introduces a few characters, as well as getting rid of a few".


Also from across the pond is the remake of Bionic Woman, starring none other than "that bird from Eastenders" - Michelle Ryan, another British actor, shippped over to the states, made to speak with an American accent and play a leading role (Hugh Laurie in House for example).


Ryan plays the Bionic woman herself and I must say plays the part quite well, her accent is passable and there are lot of "shots for the boys" where she is either wet, in tight lycra, running or all 3 (check the one handed pull-ups as shown below).


I am currently up to episode 6 so if it all goes crap, I'll let you know, at the moment it appears no-one has picked it up in the UK so unfortunately no date for airing over here, but ou can pick it up at all good bookshops, newsgroups and torrent sites.

Does anyone else know of any good US shows ?
