while a very good show Heroes can't compare to LOST!

I've never seen LOST, but I think part of it depends on what you're looking for. (LOST also has what, at least a season on Heroes?)

A matter of taste, I'd say. I lost interest in Lost somewhere in the second season, it became annoying fast. So I'll stick with Heroes for now.

then you must not have seen the fourth season of LOST leagues better than Heroes ponderous and wandering second season, I'll always remember it as the season that made me hate Hiro and Claire. Go back to LOST and bear the boring second season and the first have of season 3 once you get past that prepared to be hooked on LOST again!

They haven't even begun broadcasting the fourth Lost-season here and won't do so before autumn, I think. But sorry, I'm not going to watch it again, I disliked most of the Lost-characters and I lost patience with all the numerous flash-backs, the intrigues and back-stabbing. Lost is, well... lost on me.

So since they're broadcatsing Heroes now, Heroes it is.

one of the reasons i don't like Heroes is that Sylar always wins eventually, i don't want to watch a serial killer kill my favorite characters, which from the looks of the promos for season 3 is exactly what will happen.

Hey, no spoilers! I'm only half-way season two now. I'm not saying it's a perfect series, but so far I'm enjoying it more than I did while watching Lost.

We'll see how they do season three when I get there, or rather, when they air it on this side of the pond.

I managed to suffer through season two of Heroes only to be completely turned off within three weeks of the third season. I have trouble watching a show where I dislike so many of the main cast and see so many inconsistencies in their personalities. It's too bad, too, because season one was excellent television.

I may watch season three eventually on Netflix but if I don't find the time, I'm not too worried about it.

I kind of agree. I mean...(Spoilers from ep. 11)
what the heck is going on with Syler? Why won't he just make up his bloody mind? "I'm a good guy! No, wait, I"m bad...really bad! No, wait! I'm a good guy now" and so forth. Now he's supposedly killed his lover, whose powers he's already absorbed anyway? Why? The writers clearly didn't have any idea where they were going with Syler's character, because they're clearly just making it up as they go along. His character arch is less like an arch and more like faint, wiggly line slowly fading away.

Anyway, I wonder if Peter got his powers back too and he just don't know it yet. That would be cool.

I'm not finding the third season so bad. (Am on episode 10 now) It took a while to shape up, but now I find it okay.

They still have that problem with over-powering their bad guys and purposefully disabling or limiting the stronger powers of the good characters. That's somewhat annoying.

I quite like the Heroes Unmasked feature the BBC sends out after the show. It's interesting to see how they did certain special effects and so on.

You're right. It's not that bad. I'm enjoying it well enough. I just think they don't have a tight enough story for Syler.

You'll see once you watch ep. 11. Check back in once you watch it and tell me what you think.

Hiro is getting better all the time, though.
