So, theoretically, they all have rooms in the temple, including Ruby, Sapphire, and any hypothetical fusions?

Yup, any combination of the five gems at the door should create a room, so Smokey probably has one they didn't know about, Alexandrite probably too but can't fit through the door so we will never know.

So do Ruby and Sapphire have their own rooms in the temple in the rare times when Garnet separates?

Should be the case. The door always shines a gem before opening a room, whenever a fusion does it it shines the components, so it's pretty safe to assume that if Ruby wanted to go to her room she could, just she has no real reason to want that.

Reminds me of the time I saw a post going around about how Korra ending up with Asami was counter-productive towards LGBT culture and, in fact, Makorra would have been the more queer ship because gender roles or something.

Yes but isn't it unrequited gay love even more true to the gay experience?

I feel like a healthy stream of gay love in both directions makes for an overall stronger gay experience than an one-sided gay love that's replied with actual Gal Pal emotions while the party receiving this gay love hunts for the human male musician. Sure, Pearl is gayer than Ruby OR Sapphire, but she doesn't stand a chance against their combined might.

This might just be Best Song :allears:

God this show is so good about relationships. I mean. Ah gently caress. I was having something eating up at me, but looking at it, it's not that big, and when i tell my S.O. about it everything will get better and i'll deal with it more clearly, and it doesn't matter if it's too small and feels too big, or if it seems to big and feels impossible to deal with, having someone to confide things and being flexible about what you can do and how it can impact you is extremely important and good. i love this show

I actually like how ambiguous that final shot of rose is. Is she disappointed with him? Angry? Is Steven upset that he's not living up to her, or is he frightened, because of what she did to pink diamond? I feel like a case could be made for all of those.

My take was that he now sees her as this angry figure capable of killing, he is frightened by her and maybe even scared of himself since she is capable of shattering a gem, so maybe so is he? but it's definitely a shot that can be interpreted in many ways and with how we're dealing with more complex emotions overall, i'm sure that there's no One answer for it.

As for the episode, I do like the idea that Connie is feeling bad for just throwing a guy and it was easily fixed, meanwhile Steven hs flat out pretty much been involved in the beating up and indefinite imprisoning/infinitely floating in space of multiple Gems and it's just like man, that other thing seems kind of minor now.

I loved that although Connie's thing seemed minor at the end it still required the same process to start healing than Steven's. Although I did get a kick at "i accidentally showed the basics of CQC to a child because Pearl made me a living weapon" compared to "i bubbled my mom's enemy, saw Jasper get corrupted essentially out of sheer hate for mom and i couldn't heal her, Kars'd some Ruby and the complicated feelings got MEGA COMPLICATED after the reveal that she killed a space president"

Guess the episode hit at just the right time for me. My girlfriend and I have been getting some anxiety from a lot of places and a nice reminder that talking is the best thing ever was very fortunate.

Alright, here's the crazy theory for this episode, significantly less weird this time

Your lucky numbers are: 16 47 N W

These coordinates are pretty close to the spot Pearl/Diamond Base marked that's farthest out into the Atlantic, away from any islands
Maybe Zoltron really is from the future, specifically, maybe he's got some connection to the Sea Shrine they got the Time Thing from in Steven and the Stevens


And here I was hoping it'd just be Steven cosplaying as Ultraman and getting into some hi-jinks.

I haven't watched that video but it sounds like bullshit. Wasn't it confirmed a few months ago that SU was renewed for at least 2 more seasons?

Nah, that was dirty, dirty lies to pretend that the third season order from July 2015 counted as two more seasons, and they did the same with another show, I think Uncle Grandpa, except it was lovely because production of the third season had finished at that point and nobody was working in the show anymore but CN still call it another new season when it was just the remaining episodes.

Stuff on a renewal for this and many shows should come up soon-ish, though from what it looks like only AT has gotten a renewal this summer, which was announced on a tweet by someone in the production, so maybe CN is just keeping its next year plans to itself until sometime later to announce it all at once.

Oh boy, where to begin!

Should we talk about that time Frederator changed their distribution method from YouTube to some streaming service nobody had ever heard of and then sent their Kickstarter backers a link to watch episodes 5 and 6 that only stayed up for 48 hours, meaning most of them didn't get to see the content they paid for? (those episodes are still not available anywhere a year later, BTW)

What about that time Frederator asked their Kickstarter backers to send them recipes (without compensation) so they could make a Bee and Puppycat-themed cookbook to sell for money dollars?

Or, more recently, that time when Frederator changed animation studios halfway through production for some nebulous reason! Oh, and they also got bought out by some two-bit Canadian animation company last week.

My favorite was when Frederator accidentally sent out an email to their Kickstarter backers with a link for episodes 7-10 that got disabled after an hour or so. That one happened a few days ago, almost two full years after the nominal delivery date for the entire series!

God i'm so glad I never paid a thing for that and immediately turned off all my interest after seeing the first post-kickstarter episode.

I'm glad I can hate on Frederator, just seeing their channel full of "107 facts about [cartoon]" gets me annoyed.

Good thing Steven Universe is good and Cartoon Network in general is making many great cartoons with Disney Channel/XD also having a nice output. Cartoons are in a really neat place.

I'm still looking forwards to a what-a-cartoon-esque batch of pilots that frederator's doing with Sony (IIRC the paid service thing was something only recently announced, and they stopped the 107 facts stuff a few months back)

The impression I get is that most of Frederator's problems can be tied back to them getting heavily screwed over by Youtube changing it's ad money algorithm, though some of these things (like the kickstarter links) sound like that some of the problems are on them :shrug:

They stopped on the Cartoon Hangover channel, but ChannelFrederator is exclusively 107 facts and a few other clickbait things.

Ever since Pearl convinced me she was a good and cool person, I've been wanting another cool character that's a horrifying person. I'm glad it's Ronaldo with poo poo i'd always hear about second-hand. There's bound to be nerds talking about SU who have to deal with Bloodstones, so it's neat to expose them.

I also like hearing the complaints because I kinda believe everyone who hates him actually sees themselves reflected in him somehow and hate it.

In my unified cartoon universe, his Uncle Ņoņo's baby pictures freak him out intensely.

Steven truly is the Chavo del Ocho of Beach City. Chilindrina is Amethyst, Don Ramon is Garnet and La Bruja del 51 (hope i remembered her number right) is Pearl and all's right in the world.

Town people episodes are good.

I think the bomb format is overall what's riling people up the most, since it makes things feel like they should be a huge event, like a spliced apart episode of a random big name drama. If I were CN I'd use the season openers, mid-season finale and season finales as bombs and the rest as "bridges" that air once a week.

neat eps! Was really nice to see a tad more of Lars and have Steven and Sadie accept that they can't solve his insecurities for him. And I really appreciate Sadie finally hanging with the cool teens, her moments were really easy to connect to. Connie's dad is great and the new villains are pretty fun and interesting. Only problem is that it felt like Steven should've gone to Lapis immediately since water wings and all that.

Dat ending :stare: Steven & Lars paling in space, admitting war crimes and baking pies.
