I read your post (wow, that was long!) and I agree with you (well not about Veronica Mars and Chuck, I don't watch these two).
The comment from eumelkeks also made me think about another problem of the latest Heroes season: To me, it seems sort of erratic. Sometimes they are moving far too fast, and other times I get the feeling that the story won't move forward at all. At least the last two episodes gave me some sort of idea about the main plot for this season, which up until then I couldn't quite grasp (what is that whole explosion storyline about?).
The subplots from the first season managed to be interesting despite the fact that you couldn't figure out how they fit into the bigger picture (I am thinking about Nikki's story, mainly), and that just doesn't work this season.
However I have seen some negative critical reviews of Heroes so far this season, so I don't think these changes are going unnoticed.
I think that they will only look up what the fans say because of the ratings. I hope they do so soon, because I can only retcon so much from my brain, and at the moment I am busy ignoring the entire third season of Prison Break.
