[sblock=Warning! Spoiler!]They killed Hughes. Biggest no-no they could have done. I loved the series until that point, then I became largely apathetic to it.[/sblock]
Oh come on, don't be like that! :\
If you continue watching the series you'll realize just how important that event was, especially to Mustang, whose actions in the last episodes are driven mainly by that one event. They never let you forget.
[sblock=Big spoilage]Hughes' death was one of the most important turning points in the plot, not to mention a major wake up call that major characer's can die, so be worried. Before, Mustang's only goal was to rise through the ranks and become Fuhrer but after this he was equally concerned about finding Hughes' killers, even at the risk of his military career. In the end he even sacrificed it all in order to stop the homunculi. Winry was terribly confused as to how the man who had killed her parents could have been such good friends with Hughes. About the only reason they still focus on Schiezka after Hughes' death is because she's trying to investigate it as well. Then of course there's the final fight between Envy and Ed.[/sblock]
