Serial Weirdness Lain

So this viewing was of the 8th episode, “Rumors.” Near as I can tell, all that’s happened is that the writers have added Yet Another Layer Of Mystery And Weirdness.

I still want to see how it turns out. I still have hope that there will at least be a point, if not that it’ll make any sense. Each episode has one or two interesting elements that make for good imaginative seed material.

But is it a good story? I don’t know yet. By the end of the ‘thon, however, I might have an answer. Five episodes to go, and I have at least that many half-hours remaining before I get to sleep, no?
