Agreed. Season 3 Heroes is definitely the worst TV run i've ever seen. The amount they tried to do with Sylar (and ruining him in the process) and the total misdirection of the whole thing was just ridiculous.
It's cool that you like season 2 as well though, most people rule that one out too. Personally I think the final season is the best one, it goes back to a lot of the first seasons roots and introduces a really cool villain- maybe skip Series 3 and give the Fourth a chance sometime. Those final few episodes tho...
Yes and it was not just Sylar, because I liked Sylar very much. He was an interesting character no matter what HOWEVER, what ruined it for me was Peter Petrelli's brother [gah, can't remember the name now!] and the path he took. That was totally OOC as shit and totally ruined it for me.
Maybe I shall give it a try, I am still curious to see how Hiro gets his powers back - God he was one of my faves and I hated that part, lol!
But if you say the 5th season is ok, hmm, maybe I should give it a try.
Oh and in S3 I was also pissed at the fact that they kinda ruined the ideologies of the first and second season, dunno.. I very much liked that part where they were mixing religious ideologies with science - I'm a fool for that, haha! But yeah, S3 totally ruined it.
