The new update:

Waitwhat?

[Loyal]

Doc is telling us exactly what we've known for months and trying to nonetheless present it as a new and exciting revelation.

Pity about Rose though.

I'm starting to dislike how Hussie is using Doc's style as an excuse to throw aside the original plans for a flash battle. Admittedly he mentioned in his formspring that it was too ambiguous to do, but it's still not something where you give some battle animations and have a third party character narrate while you squint at his TV/head in the background.

Personally, I find the excuse that we'd be waiting for an extended period with no updates while he worked on the flash to be a bit silly considering how we've been waiting for an extended period of time with little to no updates while this blase summary has been taking place.

Also I'm incredibly annoyed that we got a shitty flash for a dialogue exchange between Terezi and Vriska but something pretty monumentally important like Rose fighting Jack is just glossed over like this.

It seems like it's the nature of the way the problems are cropping up. If he did do the flash animation and stopped updates and plot progression he'd get bored with it I think.

Years ago when I tried doing a sprite comic the final nail in the coffin was that I wanted to do something bigger than I could manage in the time frame. I built up to it, but never had the drive to actually finish the work and it just died away (not that it was very popular at all, or even really missed as this would be). Besides, it'll be nice to finally get on with the plot for a change.

We're getting on with the plot by skipping the plot?

[Loyal]

We are getting on with the plot by introducing as many new plot elements as humanly possible while simultaneously resolving as few as humanly possible. Eventually all the accumulated plot threads will gather together under their own gravity and form a black hole that consumes space-time.

So on the bright side all of existence will be nullified by this horseshit and I won't have to care anymore after that.

Sure, in so far as the mexican-stand-offs and flashy fights are plot. It's like DBZ if you cut out all multi season fights that take eight episodes to finish screaming up their power level before they start fighting. I'm not saying it wouldn't be great to see them, but it's like were only getting the cliff notes of the story. Sure it's not as good as the full thing, but it's better than it dieing off like Bard's Tale or Prison Break.

If there's anything to lament loosing I'd say it's the chat logs we won't get to see.
