The Gamzee callback there does seem to suggest that we might be switching perspective back to the trolls. I'd hope so. John and WV have given us a nice interlude, but whatever cathartic crescendo Andrew is building towards in the Hivebent climax really needs to be definitively resolved.

It seemed a badly executed and hastily decided death because we just saw Her and Fishasshole being very nice to each other in a completely non-"I'm going to kill you for no fucking reason what-so-ever" manner. As I pointed out from the actual scene, he was side-glaring at her as she stood there in shock, FOR NO REASON.

Of course, considering Ms. Plot Device Mary-Sue MacGuffin, a poorly executed and pointless death scene that had no context what-so-ever shouldn't be a surprise

Considering the girl with the vampire motif spent 90% of her screentime with the girl crazy enough to play an apocalyptic videogame just for a chance to bring her cat back from the dead as well as the chance to explore the game's catacombs securing the dark twisting paths to necromancy, then I can see a resurrection happening without it being ludicrous.

Then again that's pretty much the very definition of wishful thinking, so.

ps- There's pretty much no way that flying car isn't going to crash into a Hard Rock hotel.

We aren't talking about Vriska.

[Kim]

He's saying that because there's a character like Vriska, a shitty death scene shouldn't be surprising.

Of course, I loved the death scene.

I also love when Vriska is being just regular awful, like killing Tavros, even though I hate her when she's being Aizen.

I think at that point he was blasting anyone that looked like they were up to threaten him. Hence blasting Fef, he was a mile and a half beyond anyone getting in his way anymore. He turned around to appearifier and there is Kanya, but he is still grimacing his little battle grimace and she doesn't look happy. So she is another obstacle. So he killed her, and her hope.

The only person who wasn't an obvious threat was kinda hiding in the background, Karkat.
