I swear that's the highest pitch I've heard her voice go outside of "Say Uncle".

I don't see Connie as a conspiracy theorist. She might have harsh words to say about social issues, but I think she'd stop well short of that.

I dunno, "Alone at Sea" kinda convinced me they're going to reform Jasper. A lot of it's because that seems like the most natural way to explore her character flaws. They're not big ideological divides like you might expect from a Homeworld soldier. They're all very centered on relationships: she's pushy and doesn't…

Sidenote: one of my favorite things about "Open Book" is that Steven and Connie have very different takes on The Unfamiliar Familiar, and neither is taken as being necessarily 'more informed'. Steven is a sap and feels intimidated by Connie's very thematic analysis of the book, it does seem like he has a stronger…

That reminds me: the Crystal Gems' temple is amazingly designed but we spend almost no time in it.

I assumed curing Gem corruption would be an endgame thing (if it happened at all), but "Monster Reunion" got a hell of a lot closer to fixing it than I would have imagined possible, so who even knows!

I haven't seen any of it. I hate promos (they're so loud and annoying!) and I do the best I can to leave the room or turn the TV off so I don't have to watch one second more than I have to.

I like that Connie's purpose on the mission wasn't to fight, and that Pearl and Steven both pointed that out. And when you look at what happened, the corrupted gem they were after wasn't even interested in fighting in the first place, and only lashed out after being cornered. If Connie had actually attacked it…

I think what it comes down to is that they didn't want to reveal why the corrupted gems were corrupted until we knew a little bit more about Homeworld, and they are very stingy with information about Homeworld.

Connie's worry about peak oil and alternative energy sources reminded me of Homeworld's energy troubles and Peridot's ideas for them. Maybe if the two of them knocked their heads together they could come up with something interesting.

"Remember, you're a human so you have to eat food so you don't die."

I bet she went to Ron Swanson's summer camp.

Yeah, that was what I expected from this coming in. I honestly thought it would be "Greg looks after Amethyst as Pearl and Rose have a night in", which I found appealing for, well, obvious reasons.

They provide so many spoilers and leaks because they exist. Cartoon Network has laughable security, and are completely uninterested in fixing it. It's so bad that a member of the show staff has to reach out to the fandom instead of just getting the network to use basic security the way they should.

He said he owned it in "Fusion Cuisine".

When you think about it, the Gems are totally capable of living the sort of rootless life that Greg lives. They don't need to eat, they don't have any use for money, they're designed to not change. They have duties, but no external forces that goad them into responsibility. I think from this perspective, that "ability…

Greg was a rootless bum! We've seen him as a supportive mature father figure for so much of the show, it's a huge surprise to see him so flagrantly immature, to the point of crashing on Vidalia's couch and eating the last of her cereal. (She really doesn't deserve any of this.) It makes Rose's interest in Greg, if…

And she didn't actually go to the prom, that was the point.

"Sadie's Song".

On one level, Jasper pulling that is total self-serving behavior, an abuser trying to get back in someone's good graces, but at the same time… Jasper has changed. Her character motivation is totally different than it was in "The Return". Did you think before this episode that you'd ever be able to describe her as…
