I'm sure EP8 is a glorious fun read, but I wasn't wrong in saying that Ryukishi basically butchered the mystery. I think the "come up with your own answer" and "what's important is the journey" jazz would be fine for anything but a mystery novel... and then, I suppose we were wrong in thinking this is that kind of novel from the beginning (and I can't help but wonder why, of all things he could've revealed, he chose to reveal the poorest motive for a culprit(s) I've seen in years?). But yeah, as someone who hasn't finished reading yet, I'll save further whining for the Spoilers & Speculations thread (by the way, Sherringford posted a very relevant quote in it).
I will try and be optimistic about the supposed "Umineko Rei" that's going to come out. At the very least, I think he will reveal something about Shkanon in it.
