Shockingly, I never read much of McLuhan -- probably because I was journalism rather than communication theory. Maybe I should pick up one of his books some time.
Seeing that Lain recap of sorts made me want to take a semiotic look at it: Specifically, how the medium which communicates the message (I hate you McLuhan!) affects the message or its content.
I do think that Graham will break out of his angst and end up joining Setsuna/Celestial Being. Something along the lines of "I will continue to live, and fight in memory of my fallen comrades," type stuff. Essentially Graham will kind of turn into Kenshin, and seek to live for the ones he cared about, instead of seeking death in a means to avenge them. I totally loved Patrick coming in on behalf of the regular military in the fight against ALaws. I eagerly await the role he will play in the coming episodes.
Oh, F*ck Ribbons. I know he wouldnt die that easily. But it was cool to see.

I've noticed that Setsuna x Feldt is a popular pairing in fanfiction. =P
Just finished catching up to Toradora! and I have to agree with you about the end of Ep 23. There have been so many great emotional moments in that show, and that is one of them.
I wish they'd schedule another season of RideBack. It feels like they could wrap it up in another 4 eps, but I wish they wouldn't There's so much potential.
You watch things so promptly, I have trouble keeping up. *actively torrenting Toradora*

Holy crap balls, man! That's a big week in anime right ther.
Yeeeah, I didn't like how Ootani was treating Risa in episode 19. I'm glad the next one sort of remedied that. ._.
Also, I need to catch up on Code Geass and Hetalia.
