I could only roll my eyes at the latest ridiculous "plot twist"... I pretty much expected the writers to assassinate Asami's character, but the way they did it was nothing short of incompetent. I've seen it done better, and in more compelling fashion in other shows - the first thought that popped into my mind was "like I care".

You might want to check out shows like D.C. ~ Da Capo, Canvas 2, and Gift ~ Eternal Rainbow if you're in the mood for a good twist. KGNE is another good example, though I personally despised the show.

And often shows can work quite well without a twist... To Heart and Lamune come to mind almost immediately. A well-executed twist is worked into the core of the show, instead of serving as a crutch and/or a cry for attention.

P.S. We may have this discussion again next week after they assassinate Aoi's character.
