It's a good thing no one's tried to teach him poker. That kid couldn't bluff his way out of a paper bag.

It does make sense that they'd look similar, given what Jasper said about their both being soldier Quartzes and Homeworld's form-follows-function design philosophy.

I dub Jasper's fighting style "The Way of the Hedgehog." I was just surprised Amethyst didn't have rings pouring out of her.

It's not so much the fighting we're judging as her choice of opponent.

All kidding aside, this was pretty great. And I'm curious about the symbolic importance of Amethyst's new form. It's not a big change, just a looser white tank top as far as I can tell, but considering how directly Amethyst's form reflects her psyche (per "Reformed"), I imagine it doesn't mean anything good.

Oh no, the review is hidden from the main page! I'm all alone! Help!

No, that one's 100% apt.

That particular adjective's taken quite a beating in recent years.

No wonder It's BonerTime! was cancelled.

Busy today! Just sent off my latest assignment for my manga proofreading gig, had a Skype interview for another job, and am attempting to finish today's copywriting assignement, which has proven difficult because Diamond's server had some sort of error for a bit. But now it's back, so, um, bye!

"Arnold Betrays Iggy" would have more impact if Iggy had ever been anything more than a background character. As it is, his characterization as the super-cool kid comes out of nowhere, so the conflict feels contrived. Still, that ending is brutal. These two segments are definitely of a piece as far as kids making…

I resent your insult to space reptiles, sir.

Ah, the Jason Todd method.

This is indeed a disturbing universe.

Aw man, I had to be busy for yesterday's lineup of awesome episodes instead of today's lineup of okay episodes? Criminy. I don't rewatch these episodes much at all, since they're so very programmatic. For the most part you know every beat they're going to hit from minute one.

That's not really how animation works.

That breakup with Jane has clearly had an impact.

Keep Beach City Weird has taken an odd turn.

Well, we have to assume she was an elegant Victorian lady at some point.
