yeah of course, a show can still be good while the stakes aren't dictating things

What if Homeworld can grow Gems the way they used to, they're just using their resources to do one percenter shit like Diamond-involved crap?

pearl's face when steven breaks that plate tho

God, the show had preposterously uninteresting stakes for quite a spell, didn't it?

I thought it was horrible and I wish they'd have dished details over the back half of the season. It was a great reminder of just how important it was to slowly let the air out of the balloon in the first place.

I think Rose's diamond was Pink Diamond.

White Diamond is the one we haven't seen, so just from a narrative perspective it seems like it's a safe bet White Diamond is beyond the other two in some way, at least narratively.

i'm ready for people to FIGHT ME about this

because Gravity Falls had an expository episode and it kind of sucked and felt tedious

The Other Diamond mystery

i posit this in another post but what if "love like you" is the song that fixes the software problem : ooooooo

spoiler alert: the song to fix corruption is "love like you"

oh shit you're right the 'song" line

The anger alone is reaffirming my belief that this would be totally brilliant.

Yeah, that was my thought. But that'd be a pretty fun sort of twist, wouldn't it?

RIP Richard Thompson

…is the flash of light mentioned by Lapis and Centi going to be freaking Chicxulub?

Between this and Cheese Jenny, it's been two beautiful days of body horror.

"Monster Buddies" was the first episode that signaled something more than just Gems fighting monsters as the stakes. One of the series' masterpieces.

What word's got a B, and an I, and a T, and an H?
