(For the record, though, the series actually improves hugely after the first spoilery event. It gives it some needed focus, and it was only at that point that I found myself really getting interested in the show itself, beyond just fangirling on Kamina for being awesome. (His dad was Alex Louis Armstrong and his uncle was Maito Gai, and nobody can tell me different.)
Granted, it eventually stops making any sense whatsoever, but in an awesome sort of surf-the-wave-of-glorious-wtfery way. I was spoiled for both the same events you were, and afraid it would jump the shark Death Note-style, but I ended up enjoying it hugely anyway.
('Snot likely to become a fandom for me the way Avatar and FMA were, but it was a fun and worthwhile ride. ^_^)
