Lots of times. But I am glad of it. But what was that bit about the wife wearing a Japanese kimono, and the other wife assuring her "I won't tell." What? Was she a geisha? A dancer? I will have to read the book.

Good, although it looked like Ruby used some sort of vision to see where to seek Sapphire. But definitely Sapphire did know to carry Steven along — and all the caring times Garnet has with Steven seems influenced by her

Good for you! I agree.

Exactly! I am also trained in mics, in my radio DJ class. The dynamic mics are built t withstand drops, but it is aggravating to see those who do not respect sound equipment drop them. Besides someone is on the other end, listening via headphones—the engineer — and it hurts to get a blast even from someone brushing…

Actually that is a brilliant hypothesis! I had not thought of that, but think it is possible. Garnet has not the extra parts — except eyes, which are useful. Sapphire likely has only one eye, covered with bangs. But it is strange that Ruby has "second sight" usually denoted by a "third eye"

Rainbow is the term used for LGBTQ, I think you knew that and were kidding, I guess.

I vote for Punch Clock Villain! That fits the best! Or the Muttley

RE — Garnet falling apart when they disagree on something. I was wondering why Garnet was about to split apart - if the creature was making her split for its own purposes, to incorporate her into them, but I see that Ruby and Sapphire were conflicted, upset, confused — that is why Steven's adjurment that they hold it…

Exactly! I have wondering that myself! Pearls are made organically, from the oyster's nacre covering a pebble or grain of sand. A pearl is not truly a crystal gem. But Pearl is a Crystal Gem

Yes. for those who don't get that, it was in the book series not the films, where elements of the defeated Tributes were combined into the mutts to attack those continuing

I notice the hand thing awhile ago — also note the times someone holds a hand to another — Rose to Pearl, Steven to Connie, Jasper to Lapis, and the statue with its multi-arms and hands — rather, one hand broken off (symbolizing Rose? Or another partner Gem?).

Next episode. Ha I already saw it. But I would have guessed. But next would be the next battle.

Stockholm syndrome. I feel that way about the bad relationships I keep getting stuck in

There is also that maybe Jasper needs to breathe and cannot unfuse while underwater — although Garnet does not need to breathe and can be underwater as well as in lava; maybe certain gems have different needs. It seems that Peal and Amethyst breathe — at least Amethyst does — I heard her panting in "Say Uncle" ("I…

Ditto. I loved it. I stopped being upset about being single, myself when I realized I am better off single — but I can still enjoy a good romance movie/TV couple, and be happy for them,

Yeah. Did you notice that Peridot's voice actor seems to have been the original voice for Pearl in the pilot episode? At least it sounds like her.

Maybe not dead — shattered though they are, their pieces live on. They will have to figure out how to slice them apart again and put them back together. Maybe Connie has jigsaw puzzle skills — or some other human does

yeah. Right now I am tired of Earth and Southern California, especially Orange County. I used to always want a spaceship to take me away somewhere better

except that we did not get to see how Finn and Jake got changed back to their real selves after Magic Man transformed them — we still need that insert episode of them in Wizard City and what happened to Betty. Start next season! Quickly!

Martin is a monster. He stole their source of food and did not care! He did that to those other small people who helped him on that other episode, too! At least at the end, it seems the rebel leader made off with some treasure on the back of that turtle although we did not see how that was accomplished
