Thinking it over, it may not be as strong a theory as it sounded when I came up with it. Twice now they've been able to fool Rubies with unconvincing disguises.

So Rubies must have really poor eyesight. That explains (some) of their gullibility and the "I can't see!" comment from Jailbreak.

The sullen, casual way Lapis delivered the words "meep-morp" could not have been more perfect.

Huh. I guess we just have different tastes, because I actually found Full Disclosure to be more effective emotionally than even Jail Break. The song is one of my favorites and seeing Steven trying to end his friendship with Connie was heartbreaking.

Peridot's final speech fell just a little flat for me. I liked what it meant for her, but the way it was delivered seemed too… generic, I guess? Like she was reading off a script instead of talking normally. I could almost believe this was something she wrote ahead of time, just in case she had to defiantly rebuke

Actually, Bismuth is a metal, right? Would she be susceptible to Peridot's powers?

Ooh, yeah, you're right, I just checked.

Do Garnet's gauntlets cover her gems? I could've sworn they did. (Also, what happens to her gems when she shoots her fists off her arms?! I feel like that must've just been an art oversight and the gems should've stayed at the ends of her wrists, otherwise I don't get how she stayed fused.)

That would've been overkill (heh), I'd feel more mad than sad then.

Yeah, exactly! She comes full circle and makes her own limb enhancers, but this time they're a symbol of how far she's come instead of a crutch for her presumed weakness!

What if her weapon is metal, the way Lapis's weapon is water? Instead of wings on her back, she'd get metal arms and legs that make her taller, like Zim's cybernetic pack.

Unlike Steven, she really WAS pregnant, though!

I'm impressed with Smokey Quartz. I can never reliably pull off any of the advanced Yo-Yo ability moves in Kirby.

It works like a Punch and Judy show.

Hemet + Shield = Knight's Helmet
Helmet + Spear = Unicorn Hat With Actual Horn
Helmet + Whip = Shantae's Ponytail
Helmet + Gauntlet = Hand Puppet of Jasper's Head

I guess if it attaches to your head it could be problematic to combine with other things, but I bet they could pull it off if they wanted to.

I hope the Crystal Gems keep the Bismuth weapon enhancements. And then next season we get a new theme song with updated weapons, and also Peridot and Lapis are there.

"BUT HER AIM IS GETTING BETTER!!!"

I hope that Crazy Legs, if she ever is shown, turns out to have completely ordinary legs.

That's a bizarre topic to bring up in this context.
