Media Relations: because insulting the audience ALWAYS works so well.../ November 20, 2008:

I'm beginning to agree with the teeming masses who say that the problem with the NBC show Heroes is probably Tim Kring himself. The man sounds like an idiot. [...] Kring is probably feeling a mite persecuted right now. He's feeling a bit defensive. I understand, I get it, and to a certain extent, I can't blame him for it; being constantly pilloried in public and the press can't be at all enjoyable, and people are not only picking on him, but on his baby (so to speak). But insulting your audience, and saying terribly terribly stupid things in public aren't likely to get the people coming back in droves, you know? [...]

EDIT: You know, it's too bad this rumor isn't true. The idea of what Ellis would do with Hiro and Ando amuses me greatly. More seriously, he'd have all sorts of fun with HRG.
