I'm going to give you the World Building point, though I'm still waiting for the WoR episodes to be given context and turn out to be something in-show rather than a separate mini-series as it seems they are.

As for the comedy, I have just concluded it's how it goes with RT. They are a company with that much history and a more or less stable community of fans, so they can get to choose to go that route. It's like watching a South Park episode and not being from the USA/informed of what's going on over there.

As for predictability, while I would too like to get some nice plot twists bitch slapped on my face, I'm going to admit there is very few stories these days that can do it. The amount of time I have spent reading TV Tropes doesn't help.
