LOST & Heroes

Does anyone else think that both LOST and Heroes are FINALLY getting GOOD this season? I almost gave up on Heroes and my patience paid off two weeks ago. The whole storyline of scary secret governmental group hunting down the heroes was getting really old. Then, Mrs. Petrolli has herself a vi son (or dream in her case) and everything perked up by actually doing back in time to 1961...the beginning of everything. Cool. I loved the b/x footage and the details and links that it finally uncovered. And, she has a sister? Nathan and Peter have an aunt? Interesting. More interesting is the fact that she can control weather. WTF?!?! How cool and scary would that be?

Then, the Skyler storyline finally gets interesting as well. Thankfully. Now, a shape shifter, he is unstoppable, and a tad crazy. This week's episode of him becoming his mother was a bit Freudian to me, but interesting none-the-less. And, Rebel is a kid...how will that play out? Especially now that Skyler is working with Rebel. I am gearing up for the finale and I think it will be a Dosey. Let's hope that next season doesn't take as long to pick up before people tend to ship out.

And LOST. Always the crazy, storyline-on-acid, what-the-hell-just-happened moments is picking up as well. Are these writers in cahoots? Ben confronting the smoke was a tad cool, his dead daughter throwing him against the wall as neato-frito. Ben being shot as a kid and saved by Kate, didn't see that coming. Nor did I see the Darma-labcoat leader being the father of the guy who communicates with dead people! Whoa.

Overall, as both shows are wrapping up for the season, they are finally giving something for people to talk about. I just hope that the finales solve some of the mysteries that both shows have been dragging along for awhile.
