Tinni put it perfectly. I dont realy think there is much else i can say on this topic that hasn't already been discussed. I will say this however, in the past i have thought Kubo was going off the rails with the story and yet he managed to unveil a bigger picture which made everything sorta make sense, which is what i think will happen with Aizen when his full story is revealed. Also its always difficult to appreciate the story as a whole when reading and intensely focusing on a seperate chatper every week... i recently read through every chapter from the beginning soul society arc to the beginning of the deicide arc and it really helped put the story in perspective. I think that when we only have a few pages every week its very easy to discard the good bits and discuss/criticise the weaker parts in order to make the time between the old chapter coming out and the new one coming in seem shorter.
