From a reader:

Of your five predictions for Derb, I’ve only watched Heroes.
I gave it a chance (with my son who still enjoys it) but the
show is so full of logic holes, stupid plot choices, and gimicks
it is pointless to continue.
As to Derb, Heroes clearly fails the “NOR any sci-fi shows at
any level of scientific plausibility lower than Firefly’s” test.
One example, the polititician that flys faster than a rocket,
with no damage to his skin — or his pajamas.
The only non-handsome-liberals-stupid-coarse-ugly-conservative,
non-lawer, non-cop, non-love-affirming show currently on TV is
South Park. And yes, I know it also has a cute kid named Timmy,
but after watching I believe Derb will see this as a plus.
