I think I've seen enough interviewers who actively (though presumably unwittingly) get in their subjects' way that even that strikes me as skill of a sort.
I have noticed the past few times I've been to Popstarz that the setlist is incredibly predictable, and a few of the most obvious tracks will even get multiple plays in the same room on the same evening. Which, yes, I'm sure some people like, but as you say, now people know Other Club Nights Are Available, and they're not going to be stood in the corner of an empty room, it's no wonder if they're voting with their feet. Thank heavens for the web making it easier to build communities of interest, eh?
Galactica: I'm at the end of the second season and the Cylon plan is...clearer, I think, but not yet clear. Thing is, Lost (and before it X-Files) were pretty much all about The Mystery. Whereas Galactica or even Primeval, they *have* a mystery, but only as one thread of the tapestry. Which means that they don't need to keep emphasising 'ooooh, whatever could this mean?', and we have something else to keep us watching apart from expecting answers we'll likely never get. Plus, Galactica know their fourth season is the last, so - assuming the strike doesn't permanently stall them - they want to wrap it all up properly.
