I feel the same way. I think they need to shit or get off the pot when it comes to Sylar, and if they're going to kill characters, I want a male one offed for once.
And how the hell many Ali Larters are there?!?!
It's going in directions that are *just interesting enough* to keep me watching, but it's really maddening to me now, and not in a good way.

I was hoping they would keep sylar a good guy for awhile. And I hate how they keep on fucking hiro's and peter's powers because they can't right them well. I think if they don't get it together then next season is going to be the last.

I only half-heartedly watched the second half of this season. In fact I missed the finale this week. It worth my time to watch it on Hulu?

I think so, SimSim, just for a scene with Nathan Petrelli that was rather cool.
But I'll add something else--some interesting things have been dropped. I really liked Monica, Micah's muscle-mimic cousin--what happened to her? She was an awesome character with an awesome power in a place that could, as another character said, "use some amazing." I want to see more of Micah, too. I liked how, initially, the characters had jobs and went to school. And I like seeing them interact, really interact, with people who don't have powers. (I think Claire's adoptive dad, HRG, is about the only regular character left without any.)
Soooo much wasted potential here...

Alright, will check it out this weekend. And yes, they do just seem to drop characters that could be interesting. I'd love the show if they would go back to the quality of writing the first season

And how the hell many Ali Larters are there?!? Down to the last one. Also, apparently one of the key writers from season 1 has been back for the last quarter or so of season 3. Personally, I just think the problem with Heroes has been simple; they really just need to stop all this sandboxing* that's effectively gone on (I think there's been a bit of a slowdown lately, which can only be good) and deal with the broader direction of what's going on. *possibly wrong word, but I can't think of another.

I *think* I get what you're saying. The way they're only really fighting and interacting with each other, and not the world at large. I know it sounds corny, but if, say, you always healed from any injuries and could even regenerate limbs, wouldn't you try to save a mugging victim or a cat or something occasionally? But they're not saving the world or anyone else besides family members. They're saving themselves.

They saved new york from being wiped out, most people from being killed by the Shanti virus and the entire world from being destroyed. I think that counts as saving the world and/or other people.
That being said, they could really use focusing on a character that isn't Sylar for a while. To paraphrase my sister after watching the season finale, they should really just rename the show "Sylar"
By the way, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but they haven't shown the third Ali Larter triplet yet.

Yep, at the end of the season finale. I think that's Tracy, actually. When she freezes herself they show a fragment of her face and it's implied she survived and became water. Also explains going after the ex-building 26 dude. Green-Eyed Lilo: Ah, sorry, misunderstood you.

Ah HRG, I remember the first time I saw that in the description for one of the episodes, it took me three days to figure out it stood for Horn-rimmed glasses. Since then it has become my biggest pet hate by a long shot, so please forgive me for this: HIS NAME IS NOAH BENNET, NOT HORN RIMMED GLASSES! That's like calling Nathan ELS. Personally I have really enjoyed the last season of heroes (although the finale doesn't come out until Monday here), but if i were writing it there would be more shit hitting the fan in the last few episodes. But then again about 80% of the plots I come up with for anything involve the breakdown of society...
