Well, at least I can understand exactly what's going on now. All that
zipping about in space and alternate dimensions sort of confused me. Now I
can't remember why that guy kidnapped Mandy in the first place. *wanders

hi ...                     \
a native English speaker would probly use the term "thickens" here
meaning that the plot becomes even more complicated ... as in
"watch out! anything can happen!"
the reason for this is because if a "plot" is "boring" and it simply
"continues" ... a reader might "switch channels" (stop following story-line)
whereas if it "thickens" it means "hold on to your seats 'cos you ain't
 seen nothin' yet!" :)

Maybe, but note the "kind of".

..which is what I was thinking of doing. "Switch story lines," as it
were. :)

Well.. IMO, you have. You haven't seen everything, sure, but you've seen
most of it. I was serious with the "next week everything is normal" remark.
This story arc is getting a bit old.

As a naive English speaker I would ( probably say
"clamp your chairs because you did  ) not see anything so far". :-)

But it makes it hard to follow the thread.
