So I just watched the video file that concludes Act 5.

That was EPIC.

I am not sure I completely understood everything that happened, even after watching three times, but nonetheless: EPIC.

I also like the backstory on the trolls' ancestors, and the main-comic-plus-header-comic narrative trick is cool (as is the snapshot method of shunting readers through little story snippets). The ridiculous 'fifth wall' interlude is... well. Exponentially expanding insanity, as someone said, is pretty much a defining trait of this story.

*takes small break before diving into Intermission 2*

...

Oh. Random question: do we ever find out what color Dave's eyes are? I am beginning to suspect they're some shade of red, given that vaguely spoilery circumstantial details ) Also, Jade's eyes and sprite are green, Rose's eyes are are violet and her sprite sort of pastel pink-purple, John's eyes seem to be blue and his sprite is definitely blue, and Dave's sprite is orange (like orange creamsicles, according to Terezi *grin*) so red or red-orange would make sense for his eyes.

That would also explain why he never takes off his sunglasses, come to think of it.

I don't mind being spoiled on this point, if indeed we ever do get confirmation one way or another.
