Chap. 13-22, just an interlude?

ok, most of the new chapters are pretty boring, but that whole thing is:
what is going on? if kellz really would like to work out all the plot lines he opens in the new chapters the series will go on till infinity. To me chapters 13-22 are most of the time nothing but intros or just time-killer (not working mobils, e.g.).
and there's really no way to understand what this is all about and why people call "trapped i. t. c." campy without having seen "how it all began" (but "quick! you got three minutes.").
