Most people think that the first intermission in Homestuck was boring, but I actually thought it was interesting. It one of my favorite parts of Homestuck. Who else agrees?

Are you referring to the intermission where we saw Spades Slick and the Midnight Crew?

I really liked it. By far, the best Time Travel shenanigans are found in this part of the story, which is something I wish the rest of Homestuck had more of. It's kind of sad that the story has 4 different Heroes of Time each doing their own thing, yet the goon squad of side characters outperform all of them on a technical level.

I... actually completely missed that particular intermission on my first read through... Loved it on my second one, though!

I didn't find it boring and I thought it was interesting from a technical standpoint, but it still wasn't as entertaining as the rest of Homestuck. (By the way, these forums already have an unpopular opinions thread.) |

I remember when I was first reading, I didn't exactly MIND the Intermission, but towards the end it was really starting to confuse me with all the time shenanigans, and since I didn't really understand the future relevance of these characters and events, I wasn't terribly invested, so after so long I was waiting to get back to the next part of the main story. Though, having gone through the trouble of first reading Problem Sleuth along with the other MSPAs, I appreciated the elaborate callback and reference to that story it represented throughout. Also, it kind of left a sour taste in my mouth right at the end when it made it clear the trolls were going to play a more relevant role in the story, something I was apparently not looking forward to back then.
Of course, the benefit of hindsight has done wonders for my impression of it in retrospect, and I always seem to appreciate it more with each reread. I've of course fallen completely in love with Lord English and the Felt, even moreso than I have Jack or the Midnight Crew, but it's always fun to go back and watch this whole thing go down.
