Hey, at least the Heroes will be going public in volume four... hopefully that will shock it out of its slump.
I think io9 even suggested bringing in one of the old 4400 writers to replace Loeb and Alexander. Even if someone doesn't like the 4400, they have to admit that their episodes in some way move the season long plot forward and all the twists have an actual basis in the show and some foreshadowing toward it.
