This reminds me how much I love wikipedia, and its sub-wikis for various subjects. Without it, I would have been pretty baffled at what was just going on in the latest end-of-act animation.

This is the big trouble with having such a crazy story in a webcomic. Even with frequent updates, people will simply lose track of what is going on. Unless things are still fresh in your mind, you're likely to forget the finer ins and outs, and with homestuck, there is no such thing as a quick re-read of the comic. This, my friends, is why I still say time-fuckery (especially overlaid space-fuckery) is one deadly sin for plot mechanics, especially when you use it as much as homestuck.

And now we just have to wait to see what happens in-line with trollish reincarnation from dreambubbles...
