-END OF ACT 6 ACT 3-
A good end to the act. Saved all the hype moments and aura for the end I suppose. I will say that the exposition dump about the post-scratch Earth was one of the single most groan inducing sections of the entire comic thus far. It was seriously bad. Other parts of the act helped to make up for that though, and I still do plan on continuing in spite of my mildly dwindling interest. Sunk cost...

Okay, that was alright. A funny idea but the execution was kinda whatever. It was also really short, but I assume that we will be returning to this between all the intermissions.

-END OF ACT 6 INTERMISSION 5-
Uhh, okay! I didn't love all the character choices on the meteor, but this intermission was alright overall. I'm most interested in John's little arm adventures and what those could mean going forward, as well as seeing everyone all together for the first time!!! Certainly nothing nefarious or stupid will happen! :D

Okay! A lot of emotional wrap-ups there, seems like the first leg of each Alpha Kid's arc is pretty much finished. The ending of the act was crazy, with all the plot beats coming to a boil pretty much at once. Definitely excited to see where Act 6 goes from here, but I'm hoping to get one more intermission that takes place during the timeskip before we move fully into the combined session.

Wow, what the fuck? Act 6 Act 5 Act 2 was so garish and ugly and stupid and... honestly a lot of fun! The dialogue was well written, the interactive flashes were a nice treat, and the general chaos of this section just made it really endearing in spite of how garish and ugly and stupid it was. However, I suppose we are going to pretend like it never happened! Okay! Yay! :D

What the fuck do I say about this? I enjoyed the drama between the Alpha Kids in this section but didn't care much for Caliborn harassing Jane or the new sprites (other than poor, sweet, dear, precious Fefetasprite.) Love Roxy as usual, best Alpha Kid. This act's end was one of the stupidest things in the comic thus far. I'm sure it will also have huge ramifications going forward. Great.

Not my favorite part of the comic. It was pretty short though so it could have been worse. I really liked the crowbar gag, that was an awesome use of the website as a medium, but otherwise it was just okay. Hoping for more hype moments and aura in the next sections.

It was only three pages? Okay, interesting. Pretty transparently shows the comic's priorities.

Okay I guess I'm back in!? This was a really enjoyable chunk of the comic. It felt creative and satisfying in a way the last few acts and intermissions haven't been. It felt novel and intentional, acting as a really fun section to read. I have my issues with some of the characterization in this part, but it's not enough to outweigh the many things this intermission does very, very well.

Awww, that's it? This intermission definitely left me wanting more. I enjoyed the scene between Karkat and Dave a lot, but the way John was written here didn't feel right. He seemed kinda mean. I also very quickly grew to like Aranea, only partially because of her name.

I'm confused again! It's okay though because everything will make sense eventually. The new set of characters is growing on me, I like Roxy in particular. She has a bit of pizzaz that the other kids don't. Interested to see what happens from here, but I'm more interested in the upcoming intermission!!! Yaaaaaay intermission time!!!
