She took care of a cat for its entire life, mourned it, and gave it a proper burial with a marker and everything. Presumably Bast (who shows up in this episode for the first time!) did her a solid in return.

Oh, right, NOW I get why Anubis came for her.

The best frozen pizza is Dr. Oetker's (mushroom, preferably), but I do not expect Americans to understand this unless they live in the Northeast, in which case you should TOTALLY fuckin' go out and learn to understand this the next time you're bombed. It took them ten years to finally jump the Atlantic, but they are…

Eh.

Which means Rose only had two (three) soldiers left at the end of the war. Jesus.

I've been wondering just how much Rose knew about the fusion experiments, between Ruby/Sapphire's "ROSE COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN!", Peridot's comment about Homeworld deciding Earth wasn't a 'viable colony' (AKA not worth the trouble), and the ongoing clues alluding to Rose's chequered past. What kind of devil's bargain did…

Yeah, and I don't think it was any kind of 'love at first sight' for Rose. Greg, definitely. But Rose explicitly refers to what they have as 'playing' for the first half of the relationship. She thinks he's 'adorable' and 'really wants to play with him' and a bunch of other stuff that makes her sound not incredibly…

Not really, though. They had to work to make it work; that's the entire point of 'We Need To Talk.'

I'm not sure how that's more likely, considering Rose was pretty obviously a high-ranking something or other back on Homeworld who did some shit she wasn't proud of, possibly including but not limited to owning another Gem.

I only just saw the Long Good Friday a year or so back and was reminded what a phenomenal actor he was.

I have always wanted to believe that's him doing his own backflips in the 'Merry-Go-Round Broke Down' standoff with the Weasels.

Oh god, that gives that line so much more meaning.

I think there's a lot of shit about Rose we don't know, as Garnet once said.

Somehow I don't think Pearl was too busted up about being Rose's toy, if you get what I'm sayin', wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more.

"Ooh, and a fancy one, too! Who did you belong to?"

I've always wished someone would ask Jim Davis about how influenced he was by Allegro non Troppo (a rather weird European animated feature) when writing that existential nightmare strip. There's a sequence in it with an abandoned cat that pretty much mirrors the thing:

You can thank Mark Evanier for a lot of that clever writing. He used to keep a blog about it; presumably it's still around.

Primal Self is still legit disturbing. Poor Grandma.

The final shot of the 'Primal' comic with the cat leaping in to presumably maul the sweet, doddering old grandmother to death is STILL ten kinds of fucked up. Davis is an interesting man. I guess when you shovel shit day in, day out, there has to be some sort of outlet, short of dressing hookers as Nermal.
