I am a little disappointment of the season 3 opener. It was exciting to watch, but there were too many subs stories botched together. None of them were compelling. Too much time altering were used too and not much connection were found between S2 and S3 except the assassination.
Maybe these villians escaped from the level 5 will make next couple epsodes more interesting.
I like S1 best because the story telling was intriguing and plots were well developed. Audiences could find characters they cheer for or hate. After watching the S3 opener, all of them can be killed for all I care. Writers can always bring dead back; if stories suck or there are too many loop holes to fill, lets change the timeline and replot another story!
With all that said, I will still watch it, with less enthusiasm.
