With so many shows to watch Heroes had definitely topped the tables for anything to do with super heroes. I'm sure shows like Smallville have their work cut out for them to compete with the new sensation that is Heroes. if you have not seen it than I suggest you do to find out what all the fuss is about. With the Heroes finale airing on Monday 21st may I'm quite sure it will be the finale on everyones lips dominating all other shows. How do I know. well lets say its been tested with viewers who have gone mad about this show in the UK. NBC has done it again with this blockbuster Heroes.

When first aired on Sci-Fi channel in UK people were hooked and fascinated with many viewers getting access to 18 episodes back to back with a little help from the Internet. it was not long before groups of people got together and watched all episodes, some straight and some over a few days. (hhmmmmm seems people have a lot of time on their hands). After experiencing this phenominon that is Heroes mothers were made to watch and children. People who have not heard of the show in Asia were told by close relatives to inquire about the show and found them for sale in the dvd shops. whats all the fuss about well I guess you would have to watch and judge for yourself why the world need Heroes.

AS Smallville season finale came to a close on Thursday 17th May and supernatural airing 1 hour later their seems to be a fight to captivate the viewers with breathtaking cliffhangers.

But it seems Smallville rushed to get the plot through. After 6 seasons which saw Clark reluctant to reveal his secret to Lana and Lana eventually finding out bits through suspicions, Clark does finally reveals his secret to her about coming from another planet. To the opinions of few viewers it seemed like a quick rushed 5 minute scene which didn't do any justice to a situation which has been in tension for 6 seasons.

Having Lana explode in a car leaves many questions is she alive or dead. In the original movie Lana is alive and well, and if it was a setup for her to leave the Luthers than it was no different When Chloe had walked into a house that exploded in a previous episodes to fake her death.

Also having Lois being stabbed at Lex's underground laboratory just seemed tacky. everyone who's familiar with the story just knows she cant die. she has to be Clarks buddy in later adventures at the daily planet. One can only think for the sake of Chloe dying was that plot included and finally revealing her new gift, to give life.

Moving on to Lionel. Having a good nose for working out who's good and who's bad. Many viewers were surprised to find out Lionel was a adversary for Jorel only after viewers were made to make a choice of his gangster ship after his blackmailing of Lana into marrying Lex.

But how many people were at the edge of their seats when Clark comes up against his none other than himself or rather the phantom Zone version of himself. He does look Good in black though many have said. All that power shoving smashing through machinery and having Clark being smashed through the building wall hurling through the air uncontrollably and his alter ego just flying out in full control of his abilities. Im sure the next season will see Clark Kent find his power to fly although when he was possessed with Jorel he did fly. Well all you fans will have to wait for late September for season 7.
