I had actually given up on Heroes a while back but went back because I just had to know what happened with Meredith and that creepy puppeteer guy.
I watched the end of season 3 last night. There was a lot to be desired in terms of story. For me the biggest flaw with the characters is having many characters with the same power. My thoughts and reasons why this season was just BAD (SPOILERS APLENTY WARNING for those who still want to see season 3):
- There's a comic book that tells the whole story. Yet NO ONE skips to the end of the comic to see how everything will end.
- Sylar is bad, then he's good, then he's bad, then he doesn't really care, then he's bad, but c'mon he has a reason to be bad.........
- There's HUGE concern regarding an eclipse which eventually takes everyone's powers away. However, the eclipse passes, everyone gets their powers back and THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON THE STORY WHATSOEVER
- There's another huge plot point near the end regarding a "catalyst" that was placed inside Claire when she was a baby. Hiro and Claire travel back in time, they manage to change the course of events so that the catalyst goes into young Hiro, instead of young Claire. And for what? Arthur Petrelli finds Hiro just after he has received the catalyst and steals it, rendering the whole thing pointless.
- Season 3 is a BIG RIPOFF of season 1. There's another madman trying to get someone into the presidency to change the world with powers.
- Mohinder turns into The Fly.
- Ali Larter's character was such a mess (again with the good/bad/good/bad thing) that they actually created another character for Ali Larter and killed the previous one.
- Meredith and the blue fire guy are estranged brothers. Yet this doesn't really matter because in the end they never get to meet.
That said, I think Robert Forster was a great villain (I'm talking about his acting).
