No, it's a flaw at shows aimed at geeks (characters cannot face meaningful choices or obstacles). The gap between second and third season was when the creators seemed to realize that their audience was mostly adults. Thus, the maturity level goes down (no meaningful choices, characters become pigeonholed, female characters get increasing sidelined and ignored) and the "adultness" level goes up (more fighting, violence, and explosions.)

If you're saying geeks have similar expectations from shows as the ones people think children have, I'm all for it. I was not talking about "adultness" in quotations, though -- I agree there was as much or more of that going on by the last season.

And I feel like even the beginning of the third season was doing okay, but there was a huge gap there so it's a little blurry.
