I also keep wondering how long this whole "does he have an iota of love for his family or not" game is gonna continue. It still works well, really well, like, damn that Noob Noob reveal was tasty as shit and then Rick not even remembering Noob Noob was just the cherry on top, but as I was cracking up I wondered when…

Jesus christ. I'm a long time otaku and even I'm shocked by what I just watched.

"Do you just feed off my sadness?"

I wish I watched this when it aired, because I doubt anyone is reading this thread now, but what the hell was Slime Kingdom's emotion? The Candy, Ice, and Fire denizens were overcome with happiness, sadness, and anger, respectively, to an overwhelming degree. I just rewatched Slime Central though, and there seems to…

Side note, if you're bothered by their age difference, something in my biology teacher brain clicked for me when I saw Tiny Rick in that "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez" episode of Rick and Morty. Your thoughts, feelings, etc. are physically mapped out in your actual brain; they're not just some incorporeal thing. …

I was slacking off too, but I just caught up on 40 episodes in a week and regret nothing

I'm assuming he's gonna look like original Jerry Smith that we revisited in the Rick and Morty Season 3 premiere.

Oh man oh geez. Going into this I felt like we only had one big mystery left: wtf is Lion? In just an hour we got a huge new mystery that revitalizes old ones and got the Lion thing solved (so Rose can just make pink zombies with FLCL/Ramona Flowers powers, okay, fair enough).

So I guess this is our first real confirmation that the Diamonds know about the Crystal Gems… they just don't really care. I always assumed they were in hiding but the Big D's clearly figured it out… and don't care. Why would they? Just a couple of gems against the might of their empire. Daaaamn. Our gals be…

It's good, try it. If you don't like it by episode 7 or 8, then drop it.

I mean… it was clearly on top of the pile…. surely one could get a few clean forkfuls off the top? I can't be the only one who's done that in similar situations IRL, right?

Jesus, Lars becomes actually enjoyable for me to watch just in time for him to possibly get kidnapped by homeworld gems? Knock it off Sugar.

Welp, Doug is ruined for me now, thanks

Oh damn. I never thought about the bits like that either.

Ok, so it was Crispin Freeman. I knew Doug's voice sounded crazy familiar. That makes sense, that dudes in everything.

Oh yeah, there was that angle too. God, I love when the show takes the piss out of the overall fandom. Ronaldo in particular seems to be the only non-redeemable character, though I can't tell if that's because the Crewniverse hates us (well, not us… the AV Club is clearly where all the cool kids hang out) or because…

Reading all the threads here of everyone's experience with the SU fandom makes me glad that I live in a SU fandom bubble of my IRL friends, the high school students I teach, and you guys. Why are fandoms just the worst? This is coming from a huge geek and avid con-goer, but nonetheless.

I've been a un-Rose-fan since the beginning, but I certainly never thought she was scheming anything. She's clearly just a complicated person with flaws.

You know what, THAT'S probably why I was pretty bored by this episode. That R&M line has been my personal life creed since Watchmen introduced me to existentialism back when I was… I wanna say a sophomore in high school. I'm turning 30 in a month. The concept is well-trodden in my mind, so I probably just don't…

Oh great, it's not like I needed to sleep or feel emotionally stable this week or anything
