What makes a great series…

I just finished watching this week’s episode of Heroes.  And it got me to thinking… about half way through the episode I just wanted it to be over, the episode the series the whole thing.  I just wanted the storyline to be wrapped up in a neat little package.  But by the end of the episode I just wished the next episode were here.

See the thing is they have such drama about it.  There are so many storylines, and they weave in and out of each other with intricate precision.  I just love it.  There are moments when I think I cant stand the drama, I just want things to go back to normal and the tension to cease.  But then things move in such a way that I’m just excited and hopeful for what the next week will bring.  Guess that’s how you create a cult following.
