BuddyTV has an interesting article about the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike. The show's co-creator Al Gough, they were able to "complete a total of 15 scripts prior to the strike, with the 15th episode ending with a cliffhangar." Now, if the strike isn't resolved promptly, then the season will likely end in February.

KryptonSite reports that Smallville will only have one more new episode for the year, "Gemini", as scheduled with the rest airing early next year. Keep in mind that this is up in the air and the schedule could change depending on what happens with the strike.
