Well, wonder no more. Plots were all over the place (holes you could drive a water truck through), characterization was often (but not always) a miss (choices that don't make sense no matter what alternate universe we're in), and character arcs were lacking (all but a couple stunk). And let's not forget the two heroes who forgot what it was to be a hero, lost all will to go on, and chose... suicide. Not a good message to put forward.

In short: shoddy storytelling and disservice to characters. Only episodes three and four are saving season one from a lower rating.
