That seems super unlikely. What happened to the mirror when Lapis was removed, or the pyramid in Serious Steven when its gem was removed?

You're right.

Jasper thinks Steven is Rose Quartz. Of course she knows where Rose Quartz's gem is!

I WAS RIGHT

Pearl wore a dress in the Beach Party episode.

The Rose Quartz / Amethyst fusion weapon surely must be a yo-yo.

No need, I'm sure Vidalia has a tape they could borrow.

That's my point. It may be obvious to people who spend a ton of time studying screencaps, looking for foreshadowing, coming up with theories, and discussing them on the AVClub, but that doesn't mean it won't be a surprise to most viewers. I mean, the show hasn't even mentioned the phrase "Pink Diamond".

I'm okay with the timing of the healing powers, I think: he lost them because he lost confidence in them, back in House Guest. But we've just recently had two episodes close together where he developed new powers (floating; taking over Lars's body), and another one for Peridot, so it's at least reasonable that he…

Other gem-powered item: the spinning temple from Serious Steven.

I mean, I'll believe that White Diamond is on Earth, but if so she's probably been in a bubble since Serious Steven…

Waaay back in the third or fourth episode of the show, the artifact Steven forgot to put in his backpack was the "moon goddess statue". Which suggests there's some Gem religion of some kind, anyway.

Well, Lars is older than Steven…. Is he enough older to remember Rose? Probably not, but it's hard to say.

With the possible exception of Suitcase Sam.

In fact, at the beginning of Super Watermelon Island they exclaim "To the nearest warp pad!" and run downhill for like three seconds and there it is.

U of T obviously isn't the Harvard of the North. The direction from Harvard to U of T is west.

Fair enough.

The always do Best Book during the commercials. Usually Best Score too, except when Lin-Manuel Miranda wins it. It gets my goat no end. In a sense, the book and score awards are the most important awards for the bulk of the potential TV audience (i.e., people who don't get to see Broadway shows very much): when these…
