I'll even go to bat for the second one. The script is wince-inducingly ludicrous at times ("Your flight's been cancelled." "I'm sorry, but it appears you've been cancelled." - An actual line from the movie), but if you want to see lots of hapless dudes getting pummeled in creative ways, it'll get you there. The…

Given Mark Hamill's last role for the show, that would be horrifying.

Nothing like a hot dose of Gravity Falls insanity to freshen up a tried and true plot like the election episode. I actually didn't mind Gideon's inclusion, since the notion of Stan wanting the approval of the town felt a little forced, given the adulation he and the twins received after putting Gideon away the first…

Not to mention Will Wright.

I loved this movie as a kid, the Nightmare Kingdom segments are definitely my most vivid memories of it. I got a strong nostalgic feeling for Little Nemo while watching Over the Garden Wall, not just for the obviously Windsor McKay inspired scenes but also for the sinister, shadowy appearance of The Beast.

I wasn't frightened by Flip, but to this day the aforementioned nightmare ooze and the Nightmare King remain my most vivid memories of this movie.

It may surprise no one to learn that King's Quest V was the first game I ever played. I couldn't sleep one night and started wandering the house, only to find my dad playing this weird, colorful game that he couldn't figure out for the life of him. He let me give it a try and I was hooked. Of course, being 5 at the…

That's my thought too. She's not defective because there's anything physically wrong with her. She's considered defective because she's acting outside of her given role.

I prefer the theory that Pearls are technicians/some kind of support caste. She made it pretty clear in "Sworn to the Sword" that Pearls aren't made for fighting.

Additionally, all the morally questionable/abhorrent technology we've seen the Homeworld using is directly related to producing new Gems, be it by growing Gems synthetically or piecing together old Gems into Fusionsteins. Either they can't reproduce naturally, or something is happening to them that is prompting them…

I'm not gonna lie, when he caught Peridot by the foot, I was half-expecting her to shoot him in the face while he was unable to summon his shield. Have the Steven Bomb end on a cliffhanger as to whether or not Steven could regenerate like a Gem.

What purpose do these spikes serve?! I'm gonna kill whoever wrote this episode!

There is no giant foot!

It reminded me a bit of Mabel's ploy from "Into the Bunker", only it actually worked.

The Gems themselves could have easily done that. We've seen they built temples and spires around Earth, so they're not a completely utilitarian society.

Never forget "Lion 3".

The gem is behind the eyepatch!

It was stationed in Alaska!

First of all, +1000 mom points to Pearl for calling out to Steven during the play. The scene of her on the couch brought some good emotional heft to this otherwise silly comedy episode, and I'm glad to see her genuinely contrite. I sometimes feel her misunderstanding of others' feelings is overstated; she definitely…

"I shall name this land in honor of my dead first mate, Buddy!"
"I am alive!"
"Beach City it is."
