Heroes : now it's better than Lost

By Paul Cole on Feb 27, 10 10:50 PM

Funny how things can change, eh?

Last season, Heroes was all but dead and buried - seemingly damaged beyond repair by poor storylines, wooden scripts and a loss of direction.

Lost, meanwhile, was starting to pick up again as the real battle between good and evil; finally kicked off.

Now it's the other way round.

The arrival of Robert Knepper, as sinister carny showman Samuel Sullivan has breathed new life into the show.

Best-known as sick psycho T-bag from Prison Break, he's made Heroes unmissable, despite a dodgy Oirish accent.

At the same time, the return of Claire Littleton as a poor man's Danielle Rousseau in Lost has been ludicrous, the acting terrible.

Add to that the duff Dogen, leader of The Others in the temple, and Lost is in real danger of turning into a bad joke.

Oh for the days of the light suddenly bursting from the hatch ...

Anyway, if you're also a fan of Robert Knepper, then you'll be amazed by just how many TV shows and movies he's appeared in.

Somehow I can't come to terms with you actually believing this as truth. The only possibility I can fathom for this article is to attract traffic to your website. It'll work too. Lost fans will come to say "you've got to be kidding", Heroes fans will come to lend support to your argument. Battlestar fans will probably come to, just to say, "What the frak?"

One thing is for sure, Steve Wollaston won't be happy...

Darren,

Firstly, Paul is the creator of Anorak City and my boss so I will tread carefully!

I think you are right. He doesn't truly believe it although he has been saying for the last couple of weeks that Heroes is amazing again.

Paul is a HUGE Lost fan and I do agree with all of his above points, especially Claire's wooden acting.

Heroes better than Lost? Never. It has nowhere near the complexity. It probably has a little bit more entertainment at the moment but just you watch Lost hit us all square between the eyes with a sucker punch. It is building up to something special. I truly believe that.

Cheers for the comment mate and I promise I will start commenting on your blog too!

Lost started off great and had all the potential to become better with age like a fine wine, but sadly as we're about to come to the time where we can savour it, we find its corked. Complicated for the sake of complicated, and now rushing through to answer questions we just don't care about. Hero's however? Pass the cheese and crackers because if this was a wine, then this seasons a vintage!!

The list of shows presented above just proves how effective Robert Knepper is as an actor. He is always a highlight whenever I write my custom research paper on tv shows.

Robert Knepper has proven to be a real versatile actor. Hate or love his characters, he brings a lot in every movie he acts in.

Keep it going, Robert.
