Lost started out okay, but later it dragged and I lost interest. As for Heroes it's the same oldhat superhero stuff dressed up in new clothing.. So I didn't bother. BSG as most space operas is ace, but I haven't caught much of it. I've only recently managed to watch Firefly (almost three years after getting Serenity on DVD!), and it's a crying shame that show was canceled.
I like the BSG. I think I left off somewhere in the 3rd season. I started over to watch it all from the beginning with a friend, but they bailed after the first disc. I have some free time coming up and it's on the short list to watch along with beating FF12.
I think BSG is the best show on tv(at least until Dollhouse comes out). Lost is my number 2 show. BSG and Lost actually have a lot in common, complex plots woven with lots of mysteries. Just keeping up with who is who among all the cylon models is easily as confusing as figuring out what's going on in Lost, but I like that.
Razor is pretty awesome, but it doesn't really have any major revelations, it just fleshes out the Pegasus storyline, hints at something regarding Starbuck(a hint we got again this past season), and has a cool flashback involving one of the main characters. I viewed Razor as pretty much just an appetizer for the fourth season, but a very tasty one.
I think Heroes sucks personally. The season 1 finale was awful, season 2 failed to grab my interest and what I've read about the upcoming season sounds absolutely ridiculous. I think Heroes is just a show that pretty much rides on hype rather than quality. Of course, I can't stand Sylar and Hiro and those two characters seem to be the main reason everyone watches the show. Both Lost and BSG have far more interesting villains than Sylar and Hiro is like an annoying version of the much more likeable Hurley from Lost. Hiro is the loveable character everyone is suppossed to like, like Willow on Buffy or Hurley on Lost, but I just find him to be annoying. I would rather they show more of his friend Ando and less of him
I have a couple shows I'm looking forward to for this fall and early next year. Pushing Daisies season 2, Sarah Connor Chronicles season 2, Fringe, Lost's next season of course and Joss Whedon's Dollhouse are all on my radar.
And I have to plug Dr. Horrible's Sing Along blog, which I think you can watch for free on Hulu now. It's a short three act musical that's very funny. It's basically aimed at comic book fans(or Joss Whedon fans). Okay, sort of off topic now, my bad.
To be honest, the acting killed Heroes for me. I realized after a few episodes the only character I watched it for was the Japanese guy. I quit when they started the "Save the Cheerleader" crap.

Just watched that last night and enjoyed it.
VERY different, but entertaining.
Super Hero Musicals FTW

Glad to hear someone else here has seen it. I don't know if you have ever watched the tv show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the show creator(Joss Whedon)did a musical episode during its six season that was a hit, both critically and with fans. He seems to have a knack for making funny musicals. He's always thinking outside the box, his show Angel had a hilarious episode where the main character was turned into a puppet and he even did an entire Buffy episode with almost no spoken dialogue, like an old silent movie.
Okay, enough about Joss. I'm just a big fan of his work. Glad you enjoyed Dr. Horrible. I hope some other people here will get a chance to see it. It's on Hulu for free for anyone else reading this, but I don't think it can be viewed in Canada for some odd reason
