It's a real piece that isn't really working for me outside those two stories though. I really don't like this "season 3" Doctor and Charley and C'rizz has left no impact. (I'm up through Twilight Kingdom now BTW). So while those two stories have great conciets I feel like the core of the series is really weak, and I'm…

THIS IS EVERYTHING I THINK SAID WAY BETTER THAN I COULD THANK YOU

Agreed on all counts.

"Steven Universe seems like a show that tries to eliminate the need to categorize things as specifically directed at boys or girls, or as set gender roles."

It doesn't HAVE to, what with art being a subjective experience open to a range of criticisms and interpretations, but I don't understand why you're so insistent it doesn't have to, what with art being a subjective experience open to a range of criticisms and interpretations. I thought the parallels set up were…

IDK, it's hard to see how the power loving, dominance flaunting Jasper isn't a masculine archetype.

And a shounen villain archetype isn't a masculine archetype as well??

Not only is her singing fantastic, but her regular VA work has always been stellar, and was at its best here. Her sheer joy at being reunited again and outpouring of love for Steven, and then an almost instant switch into being ice cold when dealing with Jasper, she has serious range.

To be pedantic, today's episode is the season 2 premiere, but there's three season 1 episodes still to air (including one next week!)

Please stop responding to trolls, it's all their after. It gives them power over you because that's what their after: a reaction. Don't let someone that disgusting try to take your time away, don't give him more space in this comment section than he deserves: one post, quickly modded that no one even needs to give the…

Weird how you say "the" reference like there's only allowed to be one, lol.

Laughing endlessly at how you felt the need to explicitly point out you don't use instagram. Like it would be apparently offensive if we thought that of you or something haha.

Even as I admit Garnet is the objective best, I will die on the hill of Pearl loyalty. Rose's Scabbard has cemented that for me.

BOTH ARE GOOD THINGS

Actually lol'd

It's a good name for good people.

Bringing us to 158 total episodes, God bless.

I think I've known Garnet was Best Gem since Beach Party at least. She's just so…cool.

I mean, if we allow ten way ties for "best", sure. We're in such a golden age y'all, I'm so happy.

Garnet respecting Greg is just solidifying her status as Best Gem All Time. Like it's not even a contest and she's still stomping her competition in the dust, and I say this as a big Pearl fan.
