You do realize that in the comics the villain you talking about come back again and again, right? Would you really have wanted these villains to be in only one episode?
As for your last point, yes, I know that. And that's why I have a hard time reading American comics anymore because nothing is allowed to change in any significant way.
Have you checked into either Marvel or DC recently? Marvel, overall, hasn't had a "status quo" for about 8 years. Ever since Secret War, things have been pretty topsy turvy. People are now complaining about Event Fatigue... but at least not every issue is ending on the bridge of the Enterprise.
D.C. has also been shaking things up. I don't follow them as closely, but it's clear that they can't be blamed for "the status quo above all else!" either.
