I think they failed with their character deaths aswell, Shannon died far too early on after just becoming likable for the purpose of causing friction with the two bands of survivors, yet by mid season three all the tailies bar Bernard are dead anyway and tbh there was never much friction anyway. Libby was also a waste of a character as her story is never explained. I think that either just Ana or Ana and Shannon should have died near the end of the serie.
To borrow from what Yahtzee said about the AC2 sequels: There was too much faffing about in this season. In hindsight, I agree with what you've said about this season, as it raised too many questions that it didn't answer, thus I came down with what tvtropes calls "The Chris Carter Effect."
Another problem with season two was the sheer volume of plot elements that were rendered completely pointless. Heck, only Echo keeps the whole second group of survivors subplot from being completely pointless. Though at this point he probably is one of the best characters, and at the least one who has enigmatic elements which still hold promise. So, yeah, at least Echo is still there making me feel like I needed to watch season 2.
What you said in the opening applies to Heroes, it started off well but kept getting worse. Its main problem was the plot was all over the map. And just like that new show Alphas it makes no sense at all that all these random people are running around with super powers and its not public knowledge. It frustrated me to no end that Heroes kept getting renewed despite its bad writing while the superior 4400 only had a measly 44 episodes (the irony). To date its the best people with powers show.
@micronoid I was willing to give Heroes a break during season two given the issues with the writers' strike, but then season three got even worse and it became clear that no one knew what they were doing. It was one of those shows that really should have been a one season miniseries of sorts. Lost, on the other hand, could have supported a longer length if only there was a better idea of where it was going.

And so we reach season three, aka "the season where I threw up my hands and stopped watching" or "Sawyer's epic battle with a biscuit machine."
