What's wrong with Heroes

WARNING: SPOILER!! Stop reading here if you're not current on Heroes!

I know the world really doesn't need another blog post analyzing what's up on Heroes, but I'm in a ranting mood. I'm kind of a sci-fi geek (I've been to the Star Trek exhibit at the Arizona Science Center), so I'll probably keep watching Heroes regardless, but I gotta admit, they've gone astray.

Heroes was supposed to be about the characters. It started off promising to look at what happens to ordinary people who have discovered they had extraordinary abilities. This laid a good foundation for a character-driven show which mostly focuses on the characters internal struggles and interpersonal relationships. Somewhere along the way, the writers got way to fascinated with the sci-fi geekery of hero abilities. They forgot that the characters matter and that they need to be consistent and believable.

The bottom line: Heroes needs to quit being written by sci-fi and comic book fanboys, and needs to be written by the staff from Lost.
