I see the heartbreaking rift that occurred between Sam and Dean in Season 4 of Supernatural that still lingers in Season 5 and the rift that developed between Vic and Shane in the Shield that lasted well into the series finale and it makes me cry when comparing them to the badly handled rifts between Lex and Clark in Smallville and Peter and Nathan in Heroes. Because those rifts acted more like a malfunctioning robot than a heart wrenching tragedy between two people with a close bond which the first two rifts were.
What are the things that made rifts like the Sam-Dean rift and the Vic-Shane rift such successful tragedies? And the poor examples of rifts like the Lex-Clark rift and the Peter-Nathan rift such miserable whimpers?
