Truth be told, I wasn't that affected by the writers' strike until recently, when I found out that Heroes would not be airing new episodes until the new fall season. I still don't know the fate of Journeyman, my other favorite NBC show, but Smallville episodes and Survivor and The Amazing Race kept me going through the end of the strike. There really weren't a lot of bad effects, so far as I am concerned, although I know for a fact that I will be feeling it later, with the postponment of many movies that would have been coming out sooner, such as the Justice League movie and the next Transformers movie, both of which I was really looking forward to. All in all, though, I made it through without barely a scratch, but the thing about Heroes not even airing new episodes until September really makes my blood boil, because they left so much unanswered and the whole prospect of the next volume was very promising...*sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait and, on another note, does any one know when new episodes of Avatar will be airing in the US? I mean, the last two episodes after the Day of Black Sun I had to watch on the Internet because they haven't come out in the US. What's up with that?
