I think it's pretty clear that they're scouts from Homeworld, come to steal our supply of LGM plushies. Peridot will be furious.

"And we are using the abacus"

Her interactions with Connie were much improved in "Storm in the Room". I'm willing to accept that as penance.

It will still take me a while to get used to hearing Crispen Freeman doing voicework outside of anime, but he was extremely charming in this episode. I was afraid we weren't going to get a focus episode for Doug, given the priority of Connie's conflict with her mom, but this one delivered all I could ask of it.

Four years of working at a movie theater taught me that ruining some teenager's night of delinquency is one of the few highlights of the job.

Typing of the Dead taught me to live and die by spellchecking.

I remember reading somewhere that Pearl exemplified the kind of change that Rose idolized about Earth, and that by comparison Rose felt like she was not changing and growing in the way she wanted. Even after thousands of years, her knowledge of Earth in general and humans specifically was cursory at best, even though…

If the Gem Rebellion was the French Revolution, the Breaking Point would be the guillotine.

Steven should know that a key that size would unlock the boss door, not a rinkey-dink little treasure chest.

-Sworn to the Sword

-Earthlings

Or, why would he need one if he can surface for air just by sticking his head in the ground?

Good point about Amethyst. I liked the detail about her not needing to wrestle in order to bolster her self-image, as well as Steven's growth as a fighter to where he can wreck human opponents as well as Amethyst used to.

Peridot definitely needs to join the Jungle Cats stable as their own Xavier Woods.

Part of me was hoping the Rubies would show up as heels in this episode.

Sardonyx would cut some amazing promos.

That defeats the purpose of a tag team match! Now if they wanted to triple-handedly take on the heavyweight division, then you're on to something.

I don't know about you, but I've been asking for this sequel pretty much since "Tiger Millionaire" aired.

Captain Square and the Fussbudget will have their day, mark my words.
