Last year we used to do a weekly feature called 'Heroes': Around the web where we would post snippits from people's web pages and blogs when they talked about the show. Once the show became a hit, there was just too much chatter going on around the web to try and sift through it.
Well we are going to bring back the concept, but instead of creating a long list of a bunch of posts we are just going to pick the one we find most interesting.
So here you go, this week's featured 'Heroes' related blog entry:

Blog Post Title: Why I like 'Heroes' better than 'Lost'
Quote:
I am a sporadic TV viewer. My life schedule has seldom allowed for regular viewing and, for that reason, I am not a huge fan of serialized shows that aren't wrapped up nicely in one evening. Cliff-hangers are annoying to me. I learned to practically speed read so I could finish a novel in a day or two. Perhaps that evidences a need for instant gratification, but I think it's mostly a desire to get the meaning of something and start trying to integrate it. So, I never watched either show on regular TV. We rented the DVDs over the course of a few weeks, "Heroes" just recently, obviously, and "Lost" some time ago. (It's such a great way to watch, honestly. No commercials, your own schedule, pausability, rewind. Cool.)
One reason I like "Heroes" has nothing to do with art: Only Daughter was really into it and it was a show we could watch together. Other family members wandered in, some stayed for the dramatic season conclusion. We watched over a couple of weekends and it was very nice, both the togetherness and the ability to discuss it later. "Lost" didn't quite fit that pre-teen/teen market.
