Lost or Heroes?
So something has really been bothering me lately. Two of my favorite shows have completed their runs and now I am left to think about which one will have a lasting legacy. Will it be Lost or Heroes? Will it be a show about a group of strangers stranded on an island in the Pacific or about a group of strangers that have superpowers?
Here are the reasons why both shows could be remembered for years to come:
Lost: The idea of being trapped on an island is an old concept. Not only does Lost have that but the island is full of secrets that the show slowly reveals. You have Korean couple who are not exactly what they seem and Kate who is a murder trying to comfort her guard while he is dying. The show from the very first scenes of the plane crash has been drawing people into the secrets of the island and the survivors of Oceanic 815. I have to admit I was pretty hooked and could not stop watching Lost. It was an amazing show.
Heroes: Obviously I love Heroes; it was awesome from the beginning. You had this Japanese man Hiro discovering his powers; his future self told him that he had to save the cheerleader in order to save the world. The we have the man in the Horn Rimmed Glasses (HRG) who is hunting down heroes but whose daughter has superpowers as well. You see HRG’s daughter Claire trying to figure out why she can heal from any type of injury. You also see the politician running from his superpowers and his brother who discovered that he can fly. You then see the ultimate villain in Sylar who can take superpowers from other’s after slice opening their skulls. This is a show that has had me all excited from the get go.
Now let’s look at how they compete against one another:
Lost was a hit from the beginning but Heroes slowly became popular during its first season. Lost showed the character’s past and their faults. Heroes showed how the heroes discovered their powers and how they dealt with them. Lost made us ask questions like what is with the numbers and who are the others? Heroes showed us how important it was for these heroes to use their powers to save the rest of the world.
So which show will be remembered the most? Heroes will be remembered for giving us superheroes in this modern real life situations. Lost will be remembered for its excellent writing and keeping the viewers on their toes. In the end it really is up to each person’s point of view. It is not like hr payroll software which one can objectively choose. My favorite show is Heroes and though I loved to watch Lost. There is no other show that is more entertaining than Heroes.
