I wonder if the KNOWLEDGE IS BAD is supposed to be bullshit, like a thinly veiled attempt at NEVER TRUST THE MAN.

Ether way, the series is supposedly about the battle with madness, part of me wonders if the WTF that's been going on lately is going to end up being intentional and that, because the goodies are losing the fight, the madness is 'leaking' not only into the heroes but also the plot and audience itself. It's like the storyline itself is twisting in a, I dunno if it's the right term, meta kind of way?
