I do agree with the part about giving the rubies more personality beyond bumbling soldiers. It makes me wonder why Eyeball was in charge when Navy was clearly the more capable soldier. In the beginning, she says the other rubies treat her horribly. I can't help but wonder if that was actually true. I can imagine a…

She was given free reign on the farm as soon as she arrived. It was just her and a very trusting Steven Universe. The ship was also parked outside the barn. She was told they like to sleep, an activity that involves closing your eyes and focusing on nothing. She easily could have stole the ship when they were sleeping…

Her mission was actually to report back to homework with Jasper so she actually only completed half her mission, less than that if you count her comrades floating lost in space. She could pick them up, but I don't see her caring enough to do that. While I agree she does have a ruthless efficiency, it's marred by a…

I hate to disagree, but the most efficient method to steal to the ship was to just walk up and take it. Steven even mentions this while hanging out the door.. She didn't have to exploit Steven's welcoming nature, because it was vital to stealing the ship. She did it because she wanted to see him suffer. Also did you…

True, but it doesn't disprove my theory. Homeworld could send more after them. They have an army of Jaspers and Peridots. Garnet could have taken care of them, but it would be a temporary peace before a larger force was sent and the crystal gems were overwhelmed. I often wonder if the five rubies merged together who…

I think you're forgetting that Lapis admitted giving up the Crystal Gems when they were trapped in the ship back to homeworld. When they were all caught, she admitted to being brought along in the first place to take them to their base which is where they went directly towards upon entering the atmosphere of earth.…

I took two things from this episode that weren't mentioned above. Apparently, Jasper doesn't know how to bubble like the crystal gems or she wouldn't have let either of the gem monsters get away. It's odd that a soldier sent on a retrieval mission doesn't know how to bubble. A skill so basic even Steven, who's scant…
