Why “Heroes” Kicks “Lost’s” Ass

Now let me just say that I have nothing against ABC’s hit show “Lost”. I just never got into it, mainly because I didn’t watch it when it first came out, which is why I don’t share in most people’s ga-ga reactions to the show. But here’s a very amusing article at Giant Magazine which lists the many reasons why “Heroes” kicks (their words, not mind) the ass of “Lost”. Below are the first two reasons, and you can read the rest of the article here.

#1. People with secret powers are cool, and they can do amazing things at any time that make you go wow. Lost always relied on its once-in-a-while �wow� moments, but they�re both hard to predict, hard to understand, and increasingly few and far between. A flying politician is just inherently more interesting than a formerly wheelchair-bound man in a sweat lodge.

#2 Lost: Too many plots. Maybe this�ll happen to Heroes someday, but right now the NBC hit show�s storyline is interlinked, exciting, and every episode carries us further into the mystery of why so many bizarre mutants are appearing. Lost already had a fractured plot�and now that folks are living with The Others, the show�s suffered an unfortunate split-brain between the Others� world and the old familiar Beach World. Leaping back and forth to check on people has only slowed down the story further, which is sad, because the show�s been slower than molasses since the end of last season anyway.
