Sometimes I think the storyline is deliberately random just to keep
the viewers coming up with their own explanations, which of course
will suit them much better than any obvious storyline. I really enjoy
the cryptic mood of the series and the nicely surreal setting.
The main theme IMHO seems to be the conflict/love between top-down
planning and bottom-up emergence, usually getting the ordinary
people/entities in between into trouble.
If I ever become an evil dictator, I promise to at least try to be as
ingenious and bizarre as Trevor Goodchild :-)
