We've come to the end of this epic struggle. It's two of the biggest hits in recent years. Do you like the older, probably better acted show of Lost or the younger, better plotted show of Heroes. The smoke monster or the Godsend symbol? Benry or Horn-Rimmed Glasses? Claire or Claire? The twins or Nikki/Paulo? Kate or Niki&Jessica? Charlie & Sawyer or Nathan & Peter?

Which way do you lean?

1) Lost - We have to go back, Kate!

vs.

3) Heroes - Save the Cheerleader, Save the World!

I think its a simple math game here. Heroes S1 might be better than Lost S1. But if it is its not by THAT much. The gap doesn't make up for the gap between Lost S2 & 3 and Heroes S2. And as much as Lost's 2nd and 3rd seasons may have dragged or sucked at times it wasn't as much as Heroes' short Season 2.

Its not totally fair, of course. I'm basically comparing something like 11 episodes to something like 50. But I've favored longer running and older show all along because I think its a better way to judge. So too bad.

I can't discuss the merits of each show, as I've never seen so much as a minute of Heroes. I have, however, seen every episode of Lost, and I love it. So, since I can't do a fair comparison, all I can say is this:

Kate is damn hot, no denying that. But has she ever done this;

I just watched Season 2 of Lost on DVD this past week and a half. I think it is pretty under rated. It was a definite dropoff from Season 1 but not by much. I think the original airing of the show with all the reruns is what really hurt it. Watching it with no breaks was great. I can see some people being annoyed with Jack vs. Locke which dominated much of the season but that was necessary since that dynamic and mistrust lead to so many deaths.

After watching the first two Seasons for a second time I'm all in favor of Lost winning. Both my wife and I enjoyed it so much that she said sh is telling her Mom to buy Season 3 for her birthday which is next month. Then we can watch that one again as well. I'm looking forward to the end of this month when we get more Lost episodes.

Thanks Dev, for running this. I know others have bitched and complained but I had a blast with this. There was a binch of shows in this showdown that I actually did watch so I had stuff to talk about. Thanks for taking the time and putting up with the bitching.

The Jack vs. Locke subplot never annoyed me - I liked the "man of faith" vs. the "man of science" battle.

So - this still going or we got a winner?

I think we have a winner.
