Tell one story, tell it well, and resolve all loose threads before the end of the season. Unfortunately, many people get so attached to great characters that they practically demand the studios make follow ups to good stories which end up being garbage most of the time. Making (good) art isn't really something you can produce on demand anyway, and "Heroes" is looking more and more like a work of art with each passing week.

I think that's been a BIG reason for the smashing success of "24" as well. Vic Great point about having each season stand on it’s own.

If true, this is good news, because closure is what a series of this nature needs. Being able to close out some threads while creating new ones is one of several marks of a great show. (And if the show does drop in quality over the course of several years -I hope not-, each individual season would be able to stand on its own, not damaging the integrity of other season's work.) And three cheers for character development! Audience expectations are challenged in believable ways and produce results that are at once thrilling and dramatic. Last weeks' episode actually moved me emotionally - something no network show has done for a very long time. Of course, I haven't deemed very many network shows worth watching over the last decade or so, so that may qualify that statement. This season is going to find its way onto my DVD shelf eventually.
