Wow, that sounds like some crazy stuff! If I didn't know any better I'd think you were making this stuff up. I am pretty sure they are trying their damnedest to drive this show as far into the mud as they can. Maybe they just don't want to be doing this anymore and are looking for a cancellation to get them out of their contract. Many long running shows usually start getting good around their third season, the fact that Heroes is pretty much giving up and this point doesn't bode well for its future.
