Cute but not funny enough, not one lol moment.
! Not even Lapis' Amythyst impersonations? They had me cracking.

I thought the episode was a good average episode. There wasn't anything that will drive me to want to rewach the episode. I think it would've been more enjoyable if there was actually some stakes and it didn't feel as fillery. I think seeing them battle a corrupted gem would've been more exciting than a car wash. Lapis and Pumpkin were clearly the highlights of the episode with Lapis' impressions and Pumpkin being adorable. I like some of the meta humor with Peridot calling out all the traits she and Pearl share.
They make Lapis humorous but I do worry about how likeable she is. She literally has no remorse what's so ever about almost killing Greg or Connie. I hope that gets adress as some point. I also wonder if her joining the Crystal Gem's B-Team would make the Wiki's add her to the Crystal Gem list, and not just "other alliances".
-
Why do you care about a wiki? If you don't like it change it.
-
"I wonder" is very different than "I sure hope the wiki add's this". I have a curiosity and like to watch from an outside perspective.

Despite having a long redemption arc it took Peridot telling off Yellow Diamond to her face and openly defying Homeworld that made her officially a Crystal Gem. While Lapis is gradually becoming an ally and interacting with more of the cast she has yet to do anything that directly has gone against Homeworld outside of simply staying on Earth. I feel she will earn this eventually but up there with Peridot's Star it seems to be something that is further down the road.

Didn't she apologize to Greg in Alone At Sea?
Lapis being standoffish isn't really surprising though; even Peridot has more experience actually interacting with humans and there's the emotional baggage of being trapped in the mirror for five thousand years just because she visited Earth. Humans didn't directly cause that but just being from Earth is going to make her dislike them in general.
-
I'm actually surprised how well adjusted Lapis seems to be considering how absolutely traumatized she's been. It wouldn't surprise me if part of her way of coping is trying to stay emotionally detached as much as she can.

someone on the reddit mentioned maybe she's used to be detached because she was stuck in a mirror and could only watch the time pass by
A lot of people think lapis is too loosely characterized but to me she's snarky and kind of sarcastic/an ass unless she is with steven.
Also I feel there is defintely a tension that will be resolved between lapis and the CG's IMO. Lapis is kind of like steven that she bottles up her feelings but she's broodier.
-
Sorry if this is old news, but are you guys aware of Greg Universe's other gig? I've been listening to this podcast for a month or so and its good stuff.

A quiet episode but really touching for steven, glad he was able to get some things off his chest

plus they pulled off this. [go to the 53 sec mark.]
i still can't believe they used a classic bit. nice.

! About Rose's attitude someone on reddit made the interesting point that someone articulated on reddit:
! "Anyone else notice everything "Rose" did was just Greg or the other gems? The football pull away was Amethyst, the twirling and explaining sports was Pearl, sitting together playing video games could've been Garnet, at one point she winked and pointed that would be Greg. He doesn't know what she was like, but he does know what his other parental figures are like so he just smashed them together.
I'd like to say I love this episode. This is literally the only good way the writers could get Steven to talk about how he really feels. I'm very certain rose is just a figment of the room, not real, due to what I said above and the scene where Steven tries to take a picture and can't because no one is actually there. I think that's plenty obvious enough that the writers did not intend for this to be open to interpretation. But Steven can't talk to the gems or his dad about how he feels because they lie to him, Connie has no idea what he's going through and wouldn't be able to help anyway, and an episode of Steven laying in bed brooding isn't fun for anyone. Wonderful storytelling"
! Steven was giving rose different characteristics of his "real" parents and he realized nobody was there nd just relly said what he felt which didnt make him 100% but probably was a cleansing of sorts, then his real family shows up and he is resettled with their love.
! Also was this really only the 2nd time ( excluding 3GaaB ) that Steven's gem has glowed. It seems interesting, it doesnt happen a lot though his powers are tied to his emotions.Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk

Yah, I liked this one a lot.
-
Took some time to catch up on the 2 eps I missed. The New Gems was a fun episode with Peridot and Lapis being awesome as usual.
And Storm in the Room was just plain beautiful (liked the Peanuts reference lol)
-
I admit, I shed a tear.
-
Oooookay catching up!
! Three gems and a baby -
Hooooly crap morbid moment of the ep, Pearl considering murdering Steven to take out his gem x_x holy shit.
! Steven's Dream -
XD AHAHAHA KOREA! GREG WATCHING AN ANIMATOR DRAW HIM! BAHAHAHA
Whaaaaaaaat O_O omg. Blue Diamond? Come back one last time?! Is the Geo Weapon the cluster?
! Adventures in Light Distortion -
Lolol randomly hitting the Rubies in space. That flight through space was reaaaally trippy wow.
! Gem Heist -
Best episode so far. The entire sequence from the ship to Steven being taken by the Amethysts was perfect.
! The Zoo - exhales. I take it back, this was the best episode so far. I'm so creeped out, I love it.
! That will be all -
Oooooooooh Pearl what a burn. And the Amythesyts being cool, that was a pleasant surprise lol.
! New Crystal Gems -
Cute :P Kinda slice of lifey.
Storm in the Room
That was really heavy. Knowing the whole projection of Rose was of Steven's creation from the beginning was terribly sad. -
Peridot with shades reminded me of this pic so I did some photoshop magic

! My favourite part was the pearls' retro-game-sounding harmony at the beginning and adorable duet with Yellow Diamond later on. Pearls are so cuute.
! But the coolest part of it all was the revelation that the Diamonds are actually still grieving for Pink Diamond, quite a surprising thing to know about YD in particular. We've assumed that all Diamonds are devoid of care and feeling for others, but I guess they do care for their equals. Only lower-class gems (and other lifeforms) are considered expendable. -
Yaay! Femme caught up finally!!

It was rather satisfying marathoning that many episodes at once!

Yay~
Now welcome to the waiting hell
-
They're airing new episodes weekly now though; there was actually one earlier this evening.
-
! Didn't like this one on the "in story" side, nor the meta side. Ronaldo was more anoying than usual, and felt like the toxic fandom avatar more than himself.
-
Yeaaaah…this episode, if anything, felt remarkaby unpleasant and mean spirited. Can't say I'm a fan of it at all (heck, I daresay I actually dislike it).
-
Yeah definitely not SU's finest episode
-
While not thinking the episode was great, I think is a valid criticism on the fandom, our part of it, that rather have it's ideas be canon than let the show progress. Ronaldo has always be an outlet for the crew to vent frustrations about the fandom and if you imagined that he would have other part in the history, sir you are wrong.
-
I saw it as a critical look at POC allies that make the movemnet about themselves. Also liked steven standing up for himself here, and ronaldo appearing to learn a lesson at the end.
! Really nice episode tonight too. I liked how amethyst brought up why she did it earlier and even though she is in a better place, it was her and steven's thing and she should have considered him more before deciding to split.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also two episodes now on thursday
3/16 Room for ruby
3/23 Lion 4: Alternate ending -
my thoughts on Ronaldo episode
the a in crystal gems stands for ally
-
And on top of that it's coming to the PS4
-
I don't have any consoles.
I'm sad :(
-
I hope it isn's a PS4 exclusive :/
I have to decide on it or a Switch, and there's start to come out with games I actually want now.
-
! Today's SU moral: Sometimes, cynicism is warranted.
-
Navy gems are all liars.
-
Well
! this pushes the "Diamonds find out about the Cluster" time table up quite a bit
-
Eight playable characters. We have six confirmed (Crystal Gems, Connie, Greg), so I assume that means the remaining two are Peridot and Lapis, although I suppose a twist can happen where Garnet can split into Ruby and Sapphire or the two other characters are fusions (where the only choices that aren't obnoxiously huge are Stevonnie and Smoky Quartz).
-
Lion 4 alternate ending has leaked in full (albeit in grainy YT footage but still) be careful going on tumblr especially the drawing blogs
-
Given the time frame I can't say if its part of an April's Fool or not. Alas I will wait for a better version.

Cartoon Network apparently sent it out early without bothering to tell anybody, a network put it on demand, a kid saw it listed, and recorded his reaction to it.
Not a leak, just their usual incompetence.
-
more adventure time too, huh….
-
…why did people think that SU was cancelled? They never confirmed that they were going to show Lion 4 AT that particular date so..for all we know it was going to be part of the next bomb or something after the hiatus. Plus it seems SU is moving towards the end goal in mind so I'm pretty sure Sugar is conscious of that.
-
SU is in it's mid-to-late part, just hope this renovation means that we would have enough episodes for a 52 style season.

Steven Universe renewed. Good news?
From what I can tell, it's just coming back for the remaining episodes that we already knew about (the second and third seasons were chopped in half to make five total); there's nothing about any new episodes being ordered.
more adventure time too, huh….
Same deal; it's still ending next year and this is just previously announced material.
-
I don't think that's an actual renewal, just season "5".
Which was originally the back half of season 3 before they changed the naming to make it sound like more and we've known about for like a year.
Ditto Adventure Time.
The article in general seems confused as they also mention "We Bare Bears" being renewed, but that's 100% been cancelled. They might just be looking at the upcoming schedule and assuming things and not realizing that most of this stuff was ordered well over a year ago.
