tv show: NBC’s Heroes
My blog posts have been increasingly long lately, so I’m going to make this quick. Especially since the great Heroes vs Lost debate has already been well waged by people other than me. So short and sweet… Heroes had me hooked for a little while there, even made me cry (the sign of all really good television) during the episode where Claire’s dad erases his memory in the hopes to save his adopted daughter. Their story is easily the best plotline in the show that really gave some depth in an otherwise flat experience, and from that episode on, the whole show went into cruise-control until the season finale. What I mean is the characters followed their paths as expectedly as possible, there were no surprises, just steadily increasing mediocrity. But other people sum it up better than me. I just wanted to throw my hat into the Heroes vs Lost ring by saying that ultimately what Lost will always have that Heroes can never obtain is the ability to throw things out there that will have the community aflutter, talking, theorizing, wikiing, posting screenshots, playing online experience games in the hopes of figuring out the big mystery. And to me, that will always make it a far better show, no matter what the ratings say.
