Heroes Free and Loving It!

Hi my name is Heather and I was a Heroes addict but I am glad to report that I am two weeks sober!

I gave up on Heroes when my DVR couldn't tape Prison Break, Samantha Who and Heroes at the same time. However, I've been glancing at the recaps on ew.com and I think I really made the right choice. Today's recap pointed out that the show is becoming a soap opera but I just felt that the whole thing was going in circles with no real story or point. Tim Kring should call the Cuse/Lindehof duo and ask them for advice about plotting - whereas Lost clearly has some larger, intricate picture in mind and a real conclusion to get to (a satisfying one I hope!), Heroes simply has no idea where it is going. They bounce the characters around like doll house figures - let's make him do this and then maybe we can make him do that - leaving the characters without clear personality or motivation. Season 1 certainly had some promise but it is all gone now. Contrary to this week's Entertainment Weekly cover, I'm not sure the show can be saved.
