I hate to call you out, but I'd like to hear some of those examples.

I don't fully understand your points. It's not like the creators of Lost planned out and wrote exactly 117 episodes of their show, but I have faith that they created a good enough framework to hang a whole lot of great stories. Sure, they've changed course on a few plots during the show (ie Nikki and Paulo), but that doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing.


Heroes, on the other hand, is not better this season, it's worse. The problems I had with it before (terrible characters, ridiculous dialogue, absolutely no vision, and a complete lack of hope and joy), are still there and have worsened in most cases. It's just bad.
