I, for one, think it is possible to love a show without being blind to its faults. Heroes is enormously fun to watch, but they do have some issues with charicterization and continuity. I occasionally have someone read one of my reviews and leave a comment like, "IF U DONT LIEK IT DONT WATCH!!!1!" but for the most part fans seem to be able to poke fun at the show and offer intelligent criticism.
I think a lot of this season's problems stem from the fact that last season was cut short. Characters who were going to play a certain role in the abandoned story line are now being re-purposed. So, basically, there's a ton of retconning going on. I think it's kind of lazy, but it certainly isn't unheard of.
I try to remind myself that the source material for Heroes is basically comic books...so it has similar strengths and weaknesses. So far it hasn't even approached the levels of weirdness that most comic books have. ...That's kind of the only thing that keeps me from *headdesk*ing too violently. ;-)
At least there aren't any all-powerful aliens...yet.
