I like to think that the plot is progressing...
But it is made by the same people as lost, so I may be sorely misguided.

Yeah, that is always a disturbing sign. :0

I read an interview once talking to the creators saying that they wanted to basically do the opposite of Lost - instead of having all kinds of mystery, they will have a lot of big reveals to keep the plot moving forward. We're always finding stuff out, but yet we're always waiting to see how things will play out, and how people will figure things out, etc...

Like on a Soap, where you know who stole so-and-so's baby, but *they* don't, sort of thing ;p

It was Helena Cassadine.

What gave me hope from the start is that they provided a resolving plot point, a kind of finite end - the nuclear explosion - and everything should lead up to that and then, you know, resolve more or less. I hope that is the case.

There is plot progression - but the show's format *and* marketing are very very similar to Soap Operas. Only with more extra stuff...

Next time on Heroes... Who will be in a *coma*! Who is having *martital difficulties!* Who *shot* JR! :V

Just like BSG has become a soap opera about space refugees! ;)

Heroes is awesome. That's all that really matters.

Yup and the Webisodes and comics fill in the cracks between episodes.

I hate having to wait for someone to get them on torrents tho....stupid anti American IP bans....bah!
