I normally hate the King of Ooo because he's a huckster, and as a public high school science teacher I feel like it's my job to prepare my students against the snake oil salesmen of the world. But that line “Tell Bubblegum I wear her nightgown! Tell EEEEEEVERYONE!” was amazing.

I've also wondered this. Because I've never been a horror fan mostly because I'm a scaredy cat. But I also have a lot of horror fan friends so I feel like I have a cursory understanding of the genre. My favorite genre is comedy. I LOVE this movie, and was not really scared by it the first time at all, except maybe

I love me some world building, and I love me some feels. All these Peridot episodes have given me both. I love the fact that everything out of her mouth drastically changes/adds on to what we know about the SU universe. At this point all our fan assumptions about what exactly Jasper meant in "The Return" when she

Agreed. I'm always down to clown for a crack ship, but I think that more often than not people just look to far into things. Those "romantic looks" look much more to me like surprise on Amethyst's part and embarrassment on Peridot's.

Yeah, that's likely the case, it seems like something Rose would do. Also, the Pink Diamond theory just makes too much sense to not be correct, especially after seeing the sky arena symbols.

Yes, a little.

So we got a Pearl-heavy episode, a Peridot-heavy episode, a world-building episode, an anime-reference-stuffed episode, and a feels episode all rolled into one? I think this might be the definition of an A+.

I stood up and raised both fist in the air, and a second later Amethyst did the same, which I found hilarious.

I love how much respect they have for us as an audience. They don't need to delve that much further into the Rick/Birdperson/Squanch rebellion against the Galactic Federation, because we've all seen Firefly and/or various other related tropes, it's easy to fill in the blanks. This leaves more time for excellent

I'm thinking Morty gets the Council of Ricks involved, but that sounds equally plausible and great.

You would think that someone indoctrinated by a militarized homeworld would be more likely to go down with the ship instead of betray their superiors just out of primal fear and self-preservation. Then again she clearly is more scientist than warrior, and they're always betrayed as weasels :(

I know, right? And isn't it painful to know that we'll almost certainly never see the fusions between just Ruby or just Sapphire combined with just Amethyst or just Pearl? It's one thing to bring a friend over for a threesome, but neither Ruby or Sapphire seem like the type to be into netorare scence. But

I think it's a safe guess to think that she's comparatively young, like between 1,000-5,000 or something (Pearl's mention that she was only a few thousand years old when she started fighting, which makes me think the early thousands are the teen years for the gems). Now that we've gotten her character fleshed out a

He really has been the biggest punching bag so far in a series that promises redemption and empathy for all characters. Maybe because he's a shameless otaku, and the Crewinerse are all shameless otaku, and it's a self-hating geek type of thing? I'd be okay with that, as I always respect people who insult themselves

I should screencap this comment chain, because it's this kind of thing that makes me sing the AV Club forum praises to everyone I meet. The only forum on the internet with sane, intelligent people.

Oh my. That animation. That sweet, sweet animation. Everything from Peridot's facial expressions to the fluid fighting sequences was top notch this week.

I'm super glad Rebecca Sugar is sticking with her whole "No one is truly bad, everyone is complicated and has layers" approach to this show. I was NOT expecting Connie's mom to realize that she was being overbearing, at least not without a long arc of her banning Connie from seeing Steven first. I mean, guys, did

I know right? What did we do to deserve a show this good? Hasn't the Crewinerse been watching the news lately? As a species we deserve watered-down cliched drivel at best.

For most of the series I was leaning towards the "He's just crazy" answer. This last season though, with the Church of the Gray Sheperd… I really started to think there was something to Wilfred. I'd be 100% okay with this final answer except…. why would Ryan picture Wilfred's face as the same cult member who played

Yeah, he was like a better Pierce, but I never needed a Pierce character in the first place.
