I have said it before - Once "Lost" got an end date, the writing and stories got much tighter. The thing there is that the writer and producers WANTED and demanded an end date from the network. I get the feeling with Heroes that there is no "end game" and even if it was given a limited run time - they would not have an appropriate ending to the series.
