The real-world problems alternate between predictability and exaggeration to fit the story arc (there just doesn't seem to be enough evidence to explain the animosity Chloe felt toward Rob), and because one of the two main characters is in a coma, there is little dramatic tension the interweaving of the mythic story of Taliesin and Ceridwen adds little.
