Top Five Reasons Heroes Rules

By now you are thinking I've gone round the bend. It's probably true. There's just a lot of good TV right now, it's weird! And my favorite of the bunch is "Heroes." It is SO good. It packs more into an hour than a lot of shows manage in an entire season. And so, my top five:

5. Santiago Cabrera is smokin'.

4. The guy with the incredibly long Indian name who plays Mohinder is smokin'.

3. Adrian Pasdar is smokin'. (Natalie Maines, you are a lucky, lucky woman.)

2. Milo Ventimiglia is smokin'.

and...

1. Present Hiro is adorable. Future Hiro is smokin'.

OK, this is a facetious list. No, actually, it's not. Except it is. There's a lot to love about "Heroes," and the main thing is, it's a genre show run by a guy who doesn't know genre but knows good TV, knows how to find good genre guys to work with him, and knows when to rein them in. Tim Kring--he's smokin'!
