I still personally think 3 is a good season. Gets bogged a bit with it's love triangle, but is still a great spy show. And season 3 wraps up some dangling plot threads. And you'll be missing some Irena (who is entirely absent from season 4).

This lists her as being the last 2 eps of season #4, and not at ALL in season #3!
Is this in error?

Okay Story, a little research shows that Derevko is indeed, NOT in season 3. Are you confusing the two seasons? Is it 4 that's the good one & 3 that's actually the worst???

Well, I guess I was wrong about Irena.
But season 3 is still far better than 4. Season 4 is the one where they try and reboot the season 1 dynamic - everyone happily working in the same office again, with Sloan as the boss - except this time, he's really on the Government payroll. Which, given what Sloan is responsible for at that point, it just became very hard to watch everyone getting along (even if Syd does throw a tantrum or two about the situation). And they ditch all long-running plots, cliffhangers, and anything Rambaldi-related (untill the two-parter that wraps the season.... which is when Irena shows up and they go full-bore back into Rambaldi and his big plot).

I may get season 3 then, thanks.

Sloan is fun to hate.

Quote:I've been doing STUPID online research just now- I will get season 3 definitely. Season four is a probable no at this point. Even with Sonia Bragga as a guest villainess.

But the "reset button" set in four that I read of and that you reinforced in your posts seems just a little too BS-y for my taste.Still, the most fun I've had watching a series since Firefly.
