Sorry.. didn't word it all that well.
I just mean that like with Lost, Heroes and so on they seem determined to be all "clever" with an absurd number of plot twists, gotcha moments and so on. They start out quite cool, but after a while it gets to seem rather pretentious like they're wanting to walk around saying "Ha, ha, ha, ha we know and you don't". Story telling should contain a fair balance of "Wha... huh?" moments and "Ohhhhhh" resolutions. BSG has (to me) felt like it's had way too much of the former and very little of the latter.
