on this note (and I may as well reply to myself) I liked the mild culture subversion of having Jenny talk about going to a metal concert.

This is the first thing I've read that actually makes me want to watch Regular Show. Where should I start?

comedy option: she goes searching for parts of the spaceship to salvage and winds up discovered by Ronaldo when she tries to steal his piece of the wreckage.

Yeah. I too felt a little pang of sadness, however misplaced, at Steven being allowed to watch TV again.

Yeah, I have no idea what to expect from this. At all. For all the slickness in the animation and design, SU is a pretty laid-back show, while UG sounds aggressively silly.

I didn't notice it until this happened:

Maybe Onion's mother had to give up her physical form to bring him into the world, too.

I could never figure out if the "old as he thinks he is" thing would actually lead to immortality in practice. First of all it seems to be subject to pretty nasty slippage in "So Many Birthdays", and wouldn't the gradual aging of the people around you make you feel old, and thus make you older yourself?

I just read on twitter about someone taking a selfie in front of a burning building. I think they're here to stay.

I'm just going to pretend for my own sanity that this article made a mistake in its title and they were actually talking about Bertrand Russell.

Jenny venting about how she's the evil twin was pretty great.

Yeah, but "Open Book", "Story for Steven", and "Shirt Club" were delayed. None are gem-centric episodes.

This is actually why the three episodes that have been delayed into S2 were chosen to in the first place: if they picked episodes from S1 that featured Garnet, they'd have to account for why she looked like her pre-regeneration self. Thus, we have plots where Steven hangs out with Connie, Greg, and the cool kids.

The best Sour Cream moment in the episode was, after Jenny and Buck Dewey defended Steven to the gems with that little hint of projecting, he just misses the point entirely and yells "Let him be a DJ!"

I find their weird self-aware glibness very endearing. They are pretty much exactly like my high school social circle.

I think it's just because AT's plot developments are more shaggy as designed, in order to fit with the show's surreal aesthetic.

That whole thing irritated the crap out of me, given that in the six or so hours between them hearing about the name and them crying "brony" to the show staff I hadn't heard of a single person actually calling themselves that.

Well, that sorta already happened in "Fusion Cuisine". It's just that Alexandrite was around to chase them down.

Not really. He was shielding his eyes the entire time. You never even get a shot of the show playing on the television after the intro.

I don't really think so. But I still like to imagine that Matthias was proportionally-sized for his ascent up the inside of the abbey.
