I think the show is great ... the whole thin line between who is good and who is evil and how they got there is playing out well IMO.

I agree. I kept hoping that season two would get better at some point, but alas, no dice. And I was a bit put off by season three's premiere, but it's really ramped up since (even though I entirely hate what they've done with Mohinder).

And I actually do really like Arthur Petrelli's character. For a season one villian, Sylar was great but Arthur Petrelli is a bit more of an Apocalypse (for X-Men fans) level villian than was Sylar.

And I'm eagerly awaiting next week's continuation of this week's cliffhanger. That was truly unexpected.

I've been watching it sporadically, but it is not fault of the show. Until a couple of weeks ago, Time Warner was not carrying the local NBC station because of a somewhat known of difference, so I missed a couple of episodes (I did not realize another station was carrying the show until the dispute was almost over). And for some reason last week, a couple of my HD channels decided it was time for a vacation - so I missed another week. I realize the episodes are available streaming...but seeing I spend a lot of time using my computer with the TV on in the background, I find it a bit difficult to reverse the roles.

MINOR SPOILERS BELOW:

I do watch it with every chance I get, but having missed about 1/3 of the episodes, I tend to miss some of the story line. They've introduced some very interesting alternative story lines - I like the bizarro world alternative timeline with an evil cheerleader and so on. Of course, seeing a "good" Sylar was quite good.

Yeah, I agree. I stopped watching after a few episodes this season. While they definitely fleshed out Sylar's character a great deal, it seems like a lot of times they just have everybody making the same dumb mistakes just to move the plot along.
