It’s bad influence from Garnet, especially when you take into consideration Ruby and Sapphire “having their own things” didn’t REALLY happen until nearly the end of the main series.

I got a dark chuckle out of the fact that Steven’s list of his traumatic childhood experiences didn’t even get past season ONE.

The alt title in my head for “Together Forever” was “Oh Steven, No”. I certainly said it out loud a few times.

I’ve always kinda assumed she was on SSI or something. I think she qualifies, at least mentally speaking. She probably does have some diagnosis of some kind. ....I think I’ve unintentionally made her sadder.

Alpha Groot is a Canadian Maple creature, right?

Martin Luther King Jr. himself said that black people’s greatest enemy wasn’t the racists or the conservatives—it was the moderates. The people who sympathize with the cause, but refuse to do any heavy lifting themselves, or refuse to sacrifice any of their privilege.

The way that Roth depicts the rising antisemitism as a sort of boiling frog scenario is masterful. He also shows how so many “reasonable” people will bend over backwards to justify hatred. The villains are the people who cozy up to power or turn a blind eye towards what’s happening around them, not epithet spouting…

I read this novel (which I love) when it first came out. Bush, Cheney and the Patriot Act were the political background and the novel’s antisemitism was mostly metaphorical for other kinds of intolerence. It is beyond belief that we’re here 15 years later with a President who ran on Lindbergh’s actual slogan of…

Even though I read the book when it came out, I’m genuinely worried that, as a Jew (from Roth’s area of NJ, no less - my hometown was featured in a couple of his works - though I now live elsewhere), watching this in the current environment might be too much to handle. It’s very close-to-home in substance; I haven’t…

How was the episode not titled “Yurt So Vain”?

“My sister.

“Well, this is my sister and this is my daughter. My sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter!”

The first episode was funny, especially since I guessed with Peridot’s dialogue that her favorite show got rebooted (and that it would suck) and that Steven was writing in a self-insert character. I definitely didn’t guess there would be Gemcopters in his dream.

The Bismuth/Pearl pairing is a headscratcher for me, but I can’t deny that they look cute together.

The trailer for this seemed like the definition of a B- movie.

I just can’t get over the uninspired design and art. Even if the reviews had been Pixar-original level high, it would still take a lot to get over how ... mundane everything looks, and not in the way they intended. 

Co-starring with Jay Baruchel?  check!

Oh wait lemme check is the main character a gangly chinless big-nosed goofus with unruly hair?
