On November 7 2007, I reported that Bionic Woman was on the verge of shut-down due to the writers strike – that shut-down officially took place on Friday 9 November. The show has simply run out of available scripts and it’s unclear whether they have even filmed episode 1.08 which was supposed to be airing next Wednesday.
So in a season when many ’experts’ claimed that the show wouldn’t last 2 episodes, it actually gets halted in it’s 8th episode by a writers strike. Assuming there’s no new episode next week, the question now is, when will we see BW again? How will the strike affect the January ‘Re-launch’? Will it even survive the writers strike? Will NBC use this as an excuse to cancel the show and cut their loses?
Or, will the show rise from the ashes like a pheonix through the flames in 2009? Dare we take that bionic leap of faith..?
