whoa. With Gamzee tied up at this juncture, will that keep any of the otherwise-dead trolls from getting killed? Other than possibly Vriska, as much of a stretch as that is...
Spoiler
Nope, that scene was after their deaths, if I recall correctly, and Eridan was killed by Kanaya (whose death was highly deserved).
John's last two interrupts were INCREDIBLY important.
First one threw her off the trail of vriska, though she obviously still checked on that note.
Second interrupt was, and this is important, RIGHT BEFORE, IN THE TIMELINE, WHEN TEREZI WOULD HAVE DONE SHENANEGANS WITH THE TINY DISK, SCRATCHING IT IN THE PROCESS.
Now if we can assume similar progression, she was too busy with gamzee to pineapple with the record player and damage the disk.
"It will take time, though. I estimate, by which I mean I am certain by way of omniscience, that when I am done we will have reached just shy of the green circle on the card above. I'm sure you have already presumed this mark represents the beginning of Act 6. The disc should be ready to run in time to witness the Critical Event, a confluence of thickly interwoven, aconcurrent circumstances which have been meticulously arranged by myself, influenced to a much lesser extent by you, and by an even more negligible degree, our heroes. The scratch will be healed in time to watch these heroes put into motion, yes, The Scratch itself.
If you don't mind waiting here while I complete my repairs, I will tell the rest of the story. I will show you as well, as I recover data from the disc. But the visuals I supply will be nothing more than abbreviated snapshots, and my telling will be abridged.
Immortality notwithstanding, I'm not going to live forever, you know."
We're going to see a re-do of [s]FLIP without the corruption, and a differing chain of events from that point forwards, likely in quick snapshots, because this will SERIOUSLY change the timeline if the disk was never damaged in the first place.
EVEN THE PATTERN OF THE SCRATCH IN THE FLASH MATCHED THE SCRATCH TEREZI PUT ON DISK 2.

Okay holy pomegranate I never thought about that. Whoa.
pomegranate just got totally real. This isn't a minor change anymore. John pretty much saved Vriska, plus he's probably the mysterious figure in the drawing Calliope was doodling.
