Where have you been? This episode's been known about for months, and something like four minutes had been shown beforehand.

I loved the house pianist who instantly jumped into an Art Tatum rag before Steven paid him to sit things out.

The musical format was lovely for sure, but what I'm really happy about here is that we finally have an episode about Pearl and Greg. I think most fans liked to tentatively imagine they'd gotten over their issues and become friends at some point, but to see it actually happen right in front of me was something else.…

I actually thought the bit with Star's diary last week was pretty clever. Sure, on the surface it looked all romantic, but if you actually look at the stills of the diary, it's the most hilarious 'just friends' thing you could think of:

"Starco is completely Platonic."

Well, Gumball's an intensely trope-driven show. Steven Universe approaches relationships from a different perspective than a lot of kids' shows, but it generally doesn't screw with archetypes just to be unexpected.

I'm having a hard time working myself up to talk about these. "Steven Floats" is wonderful— one of the show's best comic episodes, for sure, but I saw it a month and a half ago and all the interesting things I had to say about it at the time have fallen out of my memory. The other one, though— can I just say that I…

"But if he did have a jetpack, he could just put it on upside-down!"

"Steven Floats" makes me wonder who on the show staff is a lucid dreamer. The strange unreality of the premise and the nighttime setting all seemed very reminiscent of one.

I'm ordinarily supportive of the Gems' desire to live more-or-less separate from human society, but would it really kill them to buy a cell phone in case they need one?

"How public is this going to be?"

It's nice to see after three and a half seasons OITNB finally give us their take on the iconic Max prison-meeting rooms, complete with phones and glass windows.

Yeah, Piper hasn't felt natural since that moment, although sometimes in occasional scenes things will actually work.

the most Paula-Deen-like moment with Judy King was the bit in her presentation where she told them to add a shitload of butter

Was there a Giygas pic in there or am I nuts?

Honestly, Young Healy gave off a Glen Bishop vibe to me.

They must have had the masturbation motif in mind when they were writing the "Hand of the Warden" scene.

The economics of ad-supported Internet media criticism are really bad, and the turn to clickbait across the Internet is just a reaction to that. Even sites like Buzzfeed have felt it.

I can't help but feel like this episode was intended as a metaphor for the show's approach these past few seasons, at least on some level. You have the Battle of the Bands setpiece, which was filled with everyone's favorite characters, with musical numbers that call back to "What Was Missing" and Ice King's Gunters…

The show's comment section seemed to do pretty well until they didn't cover Stakes. After that, it never really recovered.
