Hey man, Jersey rules! Sort of…

Except Ron wouldn't get Hermione in the SU version.

My favorite line was when Steven called Marty out for being bad at promotion. I mean very true, but I had forgotten that little observation. Steven would make a great investigator.

Remember when Mike had bite? His interactions with Jonah in the first season were harsh and hilarious. Watching the first season, it became apparent to me that the show actually made their characters fall into sitcom archetypes but with better one-liners and a lot more cursing. However, that happened before this…

I love this show, but I do have a problem with it. This problem started before the change in show-runners. Wasn't it the original premise that Selina wasn't actually incompetent but that the office of the vice presidency was such a non-positition that she was simply frustrated with her lack of power? It seemed that…

Yeah, I think he really holds back with Amy. Remember how he got her that job with Sidney Purcell only to have Amy backstab him? Then the whole campaign manager incident where Amy was scheming to ruin Dan. If anything, Amy has treated Dan a lot worse than he has treated her.

That said, he still has a soft spot for her. Dan is a mystery. He has shown to have the worst morals but then obviously thought those "Build a Wall" Senators he and Amy had to talk to in season 1 were pretty reprehensible. Then when Dan was about to work for Chung and Chung started mocking one of his constituents with…

See, I thought Season 3 was the best season of Veep, but I felt like Season 4 was really boring. I actually Season 5 has been a whole lot better and entertaining even if it makes more mistakes.

I have to say that I really agree with this write up about Peridot and what she may have meant about the Gems not being logical if they wanted to save the Earth. It also celebrates how she was able to be redeemed while still staying consistent and true to her character and her motivations. http://bloodsbane.tumblr.co…

I do think that look she gives Steven before she decided to not tell Yellow Diamond about the Crystal Gems does show that she at least cares about him even if she herself didn't realize it until that moment. So a little bit of what Steven was doing for her got through. However, I do also think YD falling from grace…

I was spoiled about how this was going to turn out yesterday after seeing a post and then seeing a gif of that infamous CN promo. So I thought I was going to be let down by knowing how the Peridemption was going to turn out. It sort of dampened my spirits for this episode. However, the Crewniverse does it again and…

That's a really good point regarding Rose and something I didn't even think about yet. I wonder how exposed she was to other organic life elsewhere.

I am still surprised at how happy I was when Peridot used "Clod" against Yellow Diamond.

If you're curious to hear how Yellow Diamond might sound like if/when she gets a SU song, look up LuPone's Tony Award performances from Evita, Anything Goes, and especially Gypsy. She's a Broadway legend and her voice is very distinctive and a real powerhouse. She's also poked fun at for her lack of diction when…

That's probably the best assessment of Peridot's thinking during that whole Yellow Diamond exchange I've read thus far. I credit the Crewniverse for being able to show that without making it way too obvious.

Patti LuPone as Yellow Diamond? You know what that means…Yellow Diamond can and probably will sing!

Maybe you're more cognizant of songs because of the success of STY. Tower of Mistakes and Do it For Her are two of my favorites and think they sound distinctive.

Your post was a real warning, and yet I had to google it too. OMG! I really wish I didn't google it either.

I think the only gem who could have adequately debated, if not successfully, would have been Rose Quartz as, from what little we know of her, she has the necessary empathy to try to see things from other perspectives. Steven has that (as his mini-debate with Peridot leading to the song in this episode), but he's not…

I'm the same way. I want Connie and Steven to develop romantically, but at the same time I just love their relationship as it is at the moment and sort of don't want it go further quite yet (or them to grow older). I'm also worried how they can handle that change of dynamic between Steven and Connie, though shows are…
