Nothing in SU is ever just one thing. Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny had a previous relationship. The emotional beats are the same whether it was a purely business relationship or code for a romantic relationship. If it's important to you that they're gay, then they can be gay. If it's important to you that they're not gay then they're just super good friends and also cousins. Trying to say that anything in this show is only one thing and anyone who thinks it's something else is wrong is just... not paying attention, honestly.

I think the point is that the show has put a lot of work in getting to the point where 'Pearl meets cute with a woman' isn't a Very Special Episode. The show doesn't feel any need to point out "Hey look! Lesbians!" because it can assume if you've made it this far, you're already on board with those themes. The fact that it's telling a story where, in the context of this one specific story, the genders of the characters doesn't matter isn't, I think, erasure, because the entire rest of the show has worked so hard to get to a point where it doesn't have to be a big lesson to the normies about what lesbians are, and can actually just tell a story with lesbians.

Don't worry too much about the rubies. It was already physically impossible for them to get sucked out into space like that to begin with, the escape velocity of the moon isn't THAT low. So, since we're operating under Cartoon Space Physics, not real physics, anything can happen. They can Little Prince a passing flock of space geese and come back at any narratively appropriate moment, it's fine.

This episode was necessary because if Steven can't friendship a mere Ronaldo into submission how is he supposed to friendship the diamonds?

It's a quick little thing, but I think the last moment actually shows some nice character growth for Garnet. She totally saw the possibility of Navy just stealing the ship; that's why she also brought the 'sorry for your loss' balloon. But by now, she's willing to accept a long-odds chance if the payoff is good enough instead of just bulling ahead with 100% confidence in the most likely outcome.

I loved the touch of Amethyst gently teaching Peridot how to interact socially. She really is growing into the most emotionally mature of the gems.

Bongo Bill posted:Why did they decide to make this show so good? To make the scheduling that much more painful! Non double-posting edit: So, Steven has these psychic dream powers, and as far as I remember nothing we've seen suggested that Rose/Pink had any powers like that? It's interesting that Steven has a unique diamond-scale power all of his own. It kind of makes me think of how Garnet's powers aren't just Ruby's+Sapphire's powers. Steven isn't a fusion, exactly, but he also sort of is? In some sense, he's the physical existence of Rose and Greg's relationship; he's different than just Rose reformed.

I think it just comes down to the show being more interested in "how do we fix this awful thing" than "how do we punish this awful person?"

Episode was good, and foreshadowed us the martial technique that Steven will use to defeat... I have no idea WHO at this point, but someone is getting smooched on the nose.

Re: how neatly things wrapped up with Spinel going to live with the Diamonds, I think it's still at least pretty true to the character development at that point. The contrived part is that the Diamonds just happen to show up right at the most narratively convenient moment, but that's just how stories go. The Diamonds are desperate for even a little bit of what they used to get from Pink, so of course they'd jump at the opportunity to have their very own Spinel (Who, as a bonus, can tell them stories about Pink). Spinel, on the other hand, I think is approaching the relationship a lot more cynically. She knows there's nothing she can do to really make up for the harm she's done to Steven and Earth and the CGs, but what she CAN do is redirect the attention of Steven's overbearing triple grandmas. She can never truly be the innocent playmate that she was made to be, but she'll pretend if it helps a little.

ApplesandOranges posted:I only just realised that Pearl was pronouncing bass like the fish and thought it was like a typical ESL problem of where one gets confused that multiple words with the same ending letters can sound different. So she’d think ‘bass’ sounds like ‘rear end’. It makes more sense if Pearl is just trolling the hell out of Greg. Which also makes a nice  sign of how their relationship has evolved over time.

I kind of feel like, similar to how a fusion is the physical manifestation of a relationship, Steven is the physical manifestation of PD's desire to be a better person.

It helps that there's enough representation, both literal and coded, that Garnet can represent a black woman without having to represent all black women.
