Never found it!

Just finished watching the last 9 episodes of S3 Heroes today - and I still haven't found what it was that made me feel that S3 was such crap that first time through.

One clue I think is that the number of times that both Sylar and Nathan flipped between sides of the equation - miss one episode and nothing would make much sense from that point on. Given how the season ended, it's also no wonder that I couldn't make any sense of the few episodes of S4 that I tried to watch!

A few brief points I want to make:
1) it was so cool to load up disc six and get five episodes and not just two as I was expecting. YAY for extra episodes!
2) poor Alice :-(
3) the reveal of the "President's" true identity in the limo in S3e25 The Invisible Thread is just magic - took my breath away
4) the final ten seconds of S3 are wonderful tension ratchets for S4.

I enjoyed this season from end to end - again, not arguing that they are the pinnacle of TV series in the 21st century - but cared about the characters and was curious to see where the plot would go to in each episode. I am glad that I got to watch it on DVD though - there were several times where I had to rewind a scene or two to spot what really happened.

Awww, I'm so glad you gave this show another try. I have to agree with you on the entire line here.... looking forward to start watching season 4.. hoping it won't the last one even if everything seems to lead to it.

I'm glad I did too - I remember being very disappointed by S3 and giving up in disgust. Yet, no matter how closely I watched the DVD's, I couldn't find out what it was that disappointed me last time - and that was a good thing :-)

I do hope S4 is good - but I hear really bad things about it, sadly!
