Writer’s Strike – UPDATE

I’m fully aware of the Writers Strike, this bit from Kryptonsite and from I’ve heard on fellow podcast, Starkville’s House of El, I’m getting very unsettled.

Smallville will not be immediately affected by the strike, at least to TV
viewers. TV series as a rule are already several episodes ahead on the writing
and filming. Additionally, the show has several scripts waiting in the wings
that, as far as we know, will still be filmed. We hear they were able to get up
to #15 or #16, and that the last one will end on a cliffhanger “just in case.”
If things are not resolved in adequate time, we MIGHT have a shorter season than
usual. The schedule for episodes in early 2008 may also be affected.

UPDATE – A statement came out on Kryptonsite from the show’s creators/producers.

We were able to complete scripts for 15 episodes. Episode 15 is a cliffhanger.
To the best of my knowledge, the studio plans to produce all of them. If there
isn’t a quick resolution, then the season ends in February. It is our wish that
this strike will be resolved quickly so that we can get back to doing what we
love writing.

Guess this is gonna be a short season, my biggest fear is that show will not be picked up again from all these dumb new shows on The CW.
