Well I for one believe you.  (Hope that makes you feel better.)  I've
noticed that some shows develop a certain predictable unpredictableness to
them.  La Femme Nikita was one, and MI-5 is another.  In both cases you
started to realize that a sudden plot twist always occured around 45 minutes
into the show.  So you learned to expect that they will reveal that all is
not what you expected.  I think 24 has some elements of this as well.

In the case of PlagueBoy, I started to get suspicious when they spent so
much time on him this episode.  With him in custody, due to die in a few
hours, they should have ignored him.  But they spent too much time on him,
which indicated that something was going to happen.  I wondered if he was
going to run out of the hospital somehow.  But that seemed unlikely given
the fact that he seemed to accept his fate and did not want other people to
die because of him.  He at least had some morals.
