Lost vs Heroes

Lost and Heroes are two very different television series that both ended in 2010. recently In have watched the entire Lost series and am nearly done the Heroes television series. If you watched either show while it was on the air than read the post. If you've never even heard of Lost or Heroes than read this post and go buy the series's.



Time On TV

Lost aired in 2004 and ended in 2010 with a total of six seasons. Heroes aired in 2006 and ended in 2010 with four seasons. Lost seasons 1-3 were long seasons. Season 4 was quite short because of the writers strike at that time and the seasons got longer with seasons 5 and 6. Heroes season 1 was long and 2 was very short. 3 was long again and 4 can be considered as a medium between long and short.
Seeing as Lost seasons were generally longer and the series lasted longer, Lost gains a point.

Creativity

Lost is about a plane crash on an island in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't take 48 survivors of the crash to realize that they aren't alone on the island. It also shows flashbacks, flash forwards and flash sideways of the characters. What are flash sideways? Watch the show and find out. The first few episodes of it rings of the Lord of the Flies book but it quickly becomes unique and amazing in indescribable ways. Heroes is about random people all over the globe, who on the day of an eclipse realize that they have developed amazing powers such as flying and mind reading. Some know to use these powers to save the world and others feel like freaks. They soon discover that having these powers isn't safe because people out there wish to harm them. This isn't an easy decision but Lost takes another point.

Lost kinda destroyed Heroes in this face-off but don't get the wrong idea. Both shows are very good and very cool and check them both out.
