I think the way to get around the "suits as zombies" problem pointed out here would be, ironically, to have less of the suits, and thus more room to play around with the limitations of that. Just off the top of my head, a damaged suit with a perfectly functional human body inside it would logically still only work…

Where she's in the past, trying to get back to the future. :P

Ha! My American wife has the same problem! I'm Australian and I don't, and she's never had quite this much trouble in the past, but Capaldi's Scottish accent really gives her difficulty. He does have quite a thick brogue though, I can see why it'd be a problem for people unused to hearing it.

A few potential problems with that: One, you're effectively putting the onus on the victims to avoid their abusers, rather than on the person actually doing something wrong. Two, and this is pretty important, the victims know this. Yes, there may be some respite in going offline and avoiding the bullies, but the…

Consider for a moment that on any given day, there are three alien women living up the beach, each of whom has the ability to assume a Steven-like form at will. Sometimes they play Steven Tag.

WHY WOULD YOU TELL US THAT?! D:

They kinda have to be, since seemingly their entire species codes as female-gendered.

Unfortunately, not possible: Centipeetle was corrupted in that big Diamond attack, and the Diamond Authority symbol she remembered was a three-diamond structure, missing the fourth, pink part. Pink Diamond must have been gone before that point.

"I think… a Rose Quartz and an Amethyst make a Smoky Quartz!"

I mean, granted. Nor would I put it past Homeworld to sweep up the shards of their own dead for their experiments, either.

The Cluster and the Gem Mutants were all shattered Crystal Gems, as "punishment for the rebellion," or so Garnet says in Keeping It Together. Keep in mind that a single shattered Gem can make a multitude of shards, and that each shard carries a fragment of its constituent Gem's consciousness: the idea that the…

Yep! Bismuth is very weakly radioactive, and given how much mineral trivia has gotten into the show already- Garnet's hair, Peridots being both found in meteorites (they're both from space!) and being magnetic, etc- it wouldn't surprise me to see it show up in Bismuth the Crystal Gem's eventual storyline.

Bismuth- the gem, not the Gem- is kinda radioactive: it'd make a kind of thematic sense for her to need to be bubbled.

One hell of a Villain Song, that's for sure.

I feel way better about this episode now.

I'm having trouble deciding whether the over-the-top reactions to Steven's cooking at the end were actual references to the Food Wars anime or not. On the one hand, it wouldn't be the first anime reference SU has pulled off, but on the other, they still kinda weren't over-the-top enough?

Honestly, all it needed was like a couple more minutes of Stan being an amnesiac and resisting all attempts to help him recover. Just a solid enough span of time to make the viewer think "holy hell, is that really going to be permanent?" before he gets his memory back. As it stands it gets resolved too quickly for the…

I feel like this time they'll make the entire B-plot of the next episode about bringing Clara back (that stasis pod was a little too irrelevant to proceedings this time to not come back later) rather than just have Clara pop up immediately- like they did in this season's opening two parter- but I simply can't see…

So am I the only one who just doesn't believe, in any way, that Clara's actually dead? Doctor Who does this all the time, it's done it twice already this season, where it positions a character death as some major moment in the cliffhanger, a big raising of the stakes, only to immediately reverse it (in the case of two…

… They also did exactly the same thing in "Listen." At the same point in the episode too.
