^ Listen, TPTB - admittedly these were different PTB - were surprised by Spock's appeal. So I wouldn't put anything past them. Sometimes the obvious just isn't obvious enough, you know? Not to TV executives.
But I actually haven't ever seen Heroes. I know, I know...but it never did appeal to me. ZQ is almost enough to tempt me to see it, but to be honest, I have a weekness for good guys played by attractive and charismatic actors. Bad guys? Not so much.
Then you won't like Sylar. He is definitely evil. And I mean really evil. Well, he is not 100% bad, but nobody would mistake him for a good guy, not even he himself. He is not one-dimensional and did have moments when he as almost... good (?)... But some people did not enjoy that at all, since most of the fans actually prefer him being evil.
You are sort of an opposite to some people I know, who always seem to lgo for the bad guys. Now, I have lusted for quite a few fictional villains and bad boys, but at least I can say I have never had the hots for Hannibal Lecter, any version of Joker, and I really don't understand why some people find Ben Linus from Lost sexy. And according tothe TV Tropes, some women even fantasize about Freddie Krueger.
I guess some people trully appreciate fictional evil, even when it has a disfigured face, or if it is small, bug-eyed and whiny-voiced. Me, I admit I am more shallow. If it doesn't come with piercing eyes, sexy voice and a firm butt, forget about it. 
). But I can also see why some people had a problem with volume 3 Sylar - the changes happened too quickly and too drastically, it was as if he made 2 U-turns in the space of just 4 or 5 episodes. First he becomes a bit too "good", then he flips and becomes even worse than before.
