What the hell? How did it come to all this? And how did it do that so elegantly? Very still in terms of animation - but very busy in terms of themes and atmosphere, a truly arresting and unforgettable episode in that sense. Its designed as this eerie nightmare-loop in which lain and her sister repeatedly experience a sequence of events that changes slightly each time round. Their only true interaction with each other in this episode was perhaps my favourite moment, strung apart by the passing hands of their parents.
Not a Huge fan of the whole "fulfils the prophecy" stuff as I feel that was a LITTLE obvious, and as I mentioned, the animation wasn't mind-blowing, but still an incredibly thought-provoking and enveloping episode.
