I've wondered that about Heroes for quite a while. I find it hard to believe that Sylar getting not one but TWO storylines closely followed Star Trek's release completely by accident. Some exec was like "They liked Spock! Give Quinto more screentime! Ratings, ratings, ratings!" And I think the extreme Claire-focus has always been blamed on execs' fondness for sixteen-year-old cheerleaders. Overall, it seems like Heroes got away with only a little meddling in S1, and then they were caught. It sucks.
