I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of petrified of what tomorrow will bring. "Cry For Help" was good and all, but there's no way it's more devastating than what we saw in Steven Bomb 1 and 2.

From that description, there's a lot of overlap between Steven and Superman. He's the sweetest kid ever, but he also has a shield that can withstand an alien warship's main cannon at point blank range without a scratch, as well as host of other powers. I would argue that both character's best moments are not when

Not everyone can be Yellow Diamond!

To be fair to Pearl, that's actually very human behavior, at least among parents.

I took it as Rose herself developing the philosophy counter to Homeworld society, thereby attracting outlier Gems to her cause, such as Gems who want something different than their caste allows or ones with a more spiritual view of fusion than is the norm. Pearl's reference to knighthood was just how she framed her

That's bugged me too, but I've squared it away by her learning that specific way of thinking before it was officially codified into a belief system with a name. She just refers to it as knighthood for simplicity's sake.

Pretty sure it would be the same face she pulled when Amethyst did it in "So Many Birthdays". Give or take chasing him around the stage.

By far the most effective form of birth control I've ever received.

For that matter, the only other kid Steven's age is Peedee. Connie technically doesn't live in town.

There's apparently a universe where the Big Lebowski was remade with Regular Show characters, close enough to ours that it's starting to merge with our own.

Amethyst discussing her feelings with Vidalia was a nice parallel to Steven unloading his mind to the Cool Kids. Amethyst is in the unfamiliar position of having to play mediator between the two more levelheaded members of the team, and she can't exactly confide in Steven, since the sight of the two of them fighting

Same, though that might be a contributing factor to why Onion acts so weird. If he doesn't have a close relationship to his brother, he probably hasn't learned the finer points of interacting with others. Plus, as stepbrothers, we could be seeing a situation similar to Wirt and Greg.

The lure of a perfect[ly] time[d] sandwich was too much for him to resist.

On that note, I liked the set of pictures of Vidalia and Amethyst in a photo booth, with Amethyst morphing into an unflattering caricature of Marty.

Magic Man swung by and stole it.

Completely off topic, but nice avatar. Tom Petty is a much better Mad Hatter than Johnny Depp.

When Sour Cream started DJing and the lights started to flicker, I honestly thought they were slipping into Silent Hill's Dark World. Just for a second.

All the weird, creepy stuff Onion does is purely for attention. Presumably he's learned that doing so is the only way he can interact with anyone, regardless of his intention.

On the subject of ciphers, I just had a thought that's bothering me.

At least in the early episodes, Greg seemed to be purposefully avoiding entanglement in magic or Gem-related business. Aside from it freaking him out just a little bit, he seems to have had some rough experiences with Gem powers in the past. He presumably made an exception to this rule when the planet was under
