It's sad really

I've just finished watching the first seven episodes of Heroes S1. They were so good - I remember watching each episode as it aired and recording it at the same time so I could watch it again for all the bits that everyone else saw but I never did (despite innerbrat's best efforts to sensitize me!)

Hiro's first "Yata!"
Claire waking up on the autopsy table
The near-invisible yet menacing presence of Sylar
The first time Jessica takes over
The first time DL does his Kitty Pryde thing
Peter/Nathan verbally sparring every second on screen
Isaac actually coherent for brief periods
The reveal of HRG as Claire's Dad

I managed to watch until the end of S1 (which was really good), watched S2 intermittently (and didn't like much of what I saw) and then never really watched it after that. What very little I have seen has seemed very disjointed and not too coherent - but that may also be a result of me not following story lines, I will admit.

What happened to that excellent start?

the good guys are evil and the evil ones are good

I like that too but what I did see of S3 seemed to be forced and arbitrary. I'm going to watch the whole lot right through this time and see how it comes across. It's interesting how viewing a TV series via DVD changes compared to seeing it on TV - Angel S4 was like that to me. I didn't like it so much on TV but ON DVD I love it - in fact, I think it's the best season of any of Joss' TV shows, second only to BtVS S5 which I think is damned nearly perfection.

The most loving thing about Ats season 4 for me it's the fact Cordelia dies LOL

Try to resist until the evil guys return evil and then the season will improve a lot of.

Not a Cordy fan then? Or is it the Cordy/Connor ick factor that gets you?

I love S4 because it has this kind of momentum that just rolls and rolls and rolls. There are no out-of-arc stand-alone episodes so I don't feel like the momentun is lost anywhere in the ride.

Nope ^_^
The Connor/Cordelia factor was ewwwwwww but I never liked her because of Angel.. being an AU shipper and all that ^_^
