Do you hate it when this happens?

Let me start by saying that if you haven't watched the 3rd season of NCIS and you are planning to, STOP NOW!!! There are spoilers in this discussion! The episode I'm talking about in this discussion is called Frame Up. (I think.) Now, Maggiepie and I have been watching NCIS in order for a while now. She's been much more faithful about watching it on air than I have been, but this was an episode she and I had both seen clips of, but had not actually seen. In it, Tony is framed for a murder. Early on, I'd say with in the first 15 minutes of the show, I said it was someone that did it. As it turned out, I was correct. Earlier this week, I correctly predicted something else, but not NEARLY so major as this one. Now, understand, that Maggie is pretty used to me quoting lines in shows never before seen, first run TV shows, and TV movies. I'm not quite so good with feature films. Now, the thing I really like about NCIS is that plots continue from one episode to the next, for example, in one episode, Ducky and his assistant were putting together a "meat" puzzle, someone had taken apart human bodies and left them where they would be Ducky's problem. This started several episodes before the one that involved the solving of the problem. Well, this involved someone that had been introduced earlier in the season, turned out he was the one that framed Tony (see, I spoiled it for ya) So, are you like me and can spot plot devices/lines before they are delivered? Do you also know someone that can do this? Why do you think you/they can do this? I think its because I am also a writer and its how I'd do it... And I really don't think I'm that GREAT a writer, so, you can guess that I think its not the best writing in the world when I can figure these things out.
