UU is the most interesting part of Act 6 so far IMO.

We sorely needed some more mysteries after all the old ones got solved en masse at the end of Act 5.

I believe I noted, for a while immediately after [s] Cascade, there was a point where we actually knew everything in the story thus far for the first time since I think like freaking Act 2.

There were no future visions, no trolling hints of things to come, no clever veiling of things in the past we haven't seen yet.

It was a strange experience.

Of course now we have like, Roxy's flash now to fix that and a few other tidbits, but still. Could do with more, cause that's where a lot of Homestuck's really clever writing comes from.

eridan's antics gets everyone, every single time

So great.

I kind of agree that UU is an expositionbot. I remember when I was reading, I had no clue about any of the kids' powers and he just kind of subtlely introduced them and stuff. Maybe I was just really unobservant, but he never really explained any of that. I liked having that aspect in. Some things can't really be shown off like that, like the whole passive/active thing, but I just feel like something's missing. Plus, UU doesn't really pair up well with any characters. Karkat and John worked amazingly. UU and the Alpha Kids...they don't pair off well enough. Dirk seems like the type of person that could pair off against UU, so that's hopeful.

I think we don't know remotely enough about UU to be making any sort of judgments about UU and everyone complaining about the UU conversations is silly because they're interesting and set up a lot of interesting questions to be answered later. Did you guys think "CG" was a crappy character too after all he did was yell at Jade in his first appearance?

Also, "UU doesn't pair up well with anyone?" Man, give it time, UU's only had three conversations so far.

Lots of parallels to Karkat. The text colour, sign, place on the hemospectrum and various interactions with for example Jane. I'm more curious about this male alien and if his handle will use a U. If so that opens up GU, CU, AU, TU, UG, UC, UA and UT. That's quite an amount of potential new characters.

Good convo. Nice exposition (Gamzee and Eridan make much more sense now), character building and humor.

I'm pretty sure all Hussie meant was that if Karkat's blood color followed the same astrological pattern as the rest of the trolls, then he would have lime blood. I don't think he meant explicitly that Karkat would necessarily otherwise be a lime blood (whether or not that's true, which it possibly is).

Maybe, but I think he still could have stuck to destroying the hope of his actual enemies. Princes aren't supposed to be the unpredictable class, from what I can tell.

Huuuuuge difference. In his introduction, CG didn't have enormous conversations with the kids for the sake of exposing plot elements while simultaneous exhibiting little to no actual personality. His mystery was kept intact by the short snippets of conversations he had with the kids (while still expressing his character, mind you!) while trolling them. When he did start to have longer conversations with the kids, his personality was already established and he had enjoyable pesterlogs. <_<

UU is getting better but she's doing it as a snail's pace.

I still feel like she could be from a troll/human world created by the kids, and some things in that log support that, but another thing contradicts it/is weird.
