I understand what you're saying Cynick, regarding having to present short/mid/long term storylines but do you seriously believe that they plan that far ahead? When everything points to the contrary?
But more importantly, you can't sit there and basically tell people that they should enjoy the short term crap in the hope that the long term stuff will be good. How much "good will" can a company/product/TV build up before they pay it off? There's not many TV shows that ask you to sit through 40-120 bours of TV before you get a decent pay-off/progression.
