I've noticed a lot of ire directed towards Abrams here and in the TB's so I'm curious. I've watched seasons 1-3, and while the third doesn't hold a candle to those (no Lena Olin..

So what gives with season 4? Is it that bad? Should I not bother with it when it's released on DVD? When did this show dolphin flip the orca? Is Abrams a hack? You are my eyes and hears of all things coax people, and I need intel!
P.S.- I might at one point have slagged on Dino for calling the Alias pilot the Best.Pilot.EVER., but the show did leave me addicted and wanting more, so thank you Dino for the recommendation.
P.P.S - And thank you Burl and T.i.t.G for the Carnivale love. I'm diggin it so far.
