That was actually a surprise for a lot of people.

Can you cite when they outright lied? I can see being vague or being misleading, but I never saw any of them making full-on declarations that were intentionally false.

I wonder why her crew weren't violent and massively making little clones of themselves like she did in Gem Glow. That said, I loved this episode. It got an "A" from me as it hit the right emotional sweet spot after Monster Buddies, but this one ended up even sadder seeing Centipeedle's uncorrupted form being there but…

Jenny and Kiki were super cute.

Just gotta be flexible with the idea that their humans just evolved differently than we have. They deal with new, strange things and conflict very differently. How far does that go? Who knows. Maybe they don't even have huge militaries or police culture or maybe they do. Will we find out? Maybe or maybe not. I do…

I loved this episode. It's very much like "Alone Together" in that it really conveyed the problematic, conflicting, and uneasy feelings that Steven and Connie felt. I think this episode will be remembered for being bigger than what people initially thought upon first viewing, very much like "Alone Together". For a…

From my observation, a lot of people's reaction to this episode really mirrors a lot of people's initial reaction to seeing "Alone Together" (which was initially really mixed as it really introduced this concept of Steven being in a fusion and that not unfolding in the usual narrative structure but rather in more of a…

The only reason why Eric didn't give this an A is because there's no Peridot. ;)

From the comments below, I think Lars is the fandom's most problematic character and really tests their ability for empathy because he's not as easy to like from the outset nor has he had his "epiphany" episode yet because Steven seriously is not close to being there with Lars.

Please don't spoil anything (I've actually kept myself spoiler free), but do you promise?

Not that this actually means anything whatsoever, but there's a baby picture of Lars when he first comes downstairs and sits down, and he's in a blue baby onesie. The only time I heard the name "Laramie" was in the Simpsons where their Marlboro brand cigs are called "Laramie". Oh and the Laramie Project, play based on…

Did anyone think Lars' voice sounded like a totally different voice actor? I'm talking about in the beginning and end, not when Steven took over his body. I was afraid they switched voice actors, which brings a new meaning to "The New Lars" until I realized it was the same voice actor. Maybe Matthew Moy is trying…

The only thing that upset me about this episode is that they replaced the "Wiener in Hand" sign to a sign that just says "Hot Dogs".

Jeff Liu and Joe Johnston are given the heavier episodes Sugar and the writers come up to storyboard with regards to character interaction and development of their relationships that are the most complex to navigate. And now that they've grown as story boarders, I think they're being more ambitious with the themes…

Going by DeeDee Magno Hall's tweet to Shelby Rabara (Peridot), it looks like Rabara and her husband Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike Chang from Glee) choreographed the dance that the animators ended up bringing to life in the episode.

For some reason, I don't think the writers would go to the Greg is irresponsible with money direction. Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe they'll want to teach the young kids (adults) who are watching that going on a one night bender is fun, but it's not something one should do every day and that there are better things to do…

I think "Both of You" might become my new favorite. I love all the songs in this episode, but for some reason "Both of You" sung by Zach Callison bringing it as Steven really hit hard for me. DeeDee Magno's singing of "It's Over Isn't It" was heavenly though as was her ability to bring out all the complicated,…

I doubt it. I don't see SU pissing off fans, who for many of us, money is a very real object.

She definitely loved Pearl, but it wasn't the same kind of love that she had with Greg, which seems is what Pearl always wanted. Otherwise, Rose wouldn't have had "fun" with others in the past.

If the show actually moves in "real time" (which they already have), then I think Steven will definitely grow up if Connie also grows up. I think Steven's Birthday was too soon for that. Honestly, I know people wanted it, and I wanted an older Steven, but when it happened in Steven's birthday, I realized I don't think…
