Oh, man. I remember that now, I was infuriated by that. Gah!
Ah. I can't agree. In theory, it probably could have been.

And amnesiac, clueless to everything that was going on, first locked in a stupid pointless storyline with the "Irish" gang and the girlfriend who then disappeared in the future to never be mentioned again, and then acting like a complete idiot for the rest of the season.
Villains wins for me, because, while it was a mess, it was a fun mess, and it had some awesome moments (Sylar opening Claire's head - "Eat your brain? Claire, that's disgusting"; Sylar and Noah as FBI agents...). Generations bored the shit out of me with the useless storylines - Hiro in 16th century Japan, Maya and Alejandro, Peter and the "Irish" criminals - until it picked up a little in the last few episodes.
^ The first 4-5 episodes of vol.3 I loved, not least for the two moments you mention. It was from the point Adam was disintegrated that it started going downhill.

True, but being an idiot is just part of his character. That's Peter's baseline. It doesn't matter so much when he acts like an idiot because you expect it of him.
Villains was terrible, completely unforgivable in every way.
What was wrong with the aforementioned Sylar bits with Clarie and Noah?
They highlighted how utterly useless Claire is and set her along a path to this supposedly "dark" future where she's hunting down her own kind.
Except Claire isn't really much of a threat to anyone. She's still a tiny teenage girl with no particular combat skills aside from a few lessons from her mother and Noah. I found the notion that Claire would suddenly become evil for some reason to be patently ridiculous
As for Sylar, Angela lets him out to be Noah's partner and he decides to actually do as he's told ? No frakkin' way.
With Villains, Fugitives and now Redemption we've been fed increasingly ridiculous reasons why Sylar doesn't just crush the chapter's main villain like a bug too. With Arthur it was because he was "too powerful". What ? Sylar has typically demonstrated much greater control over the powers he steals than their original owners.
