Oh, I completely agree. With the Mountain Goats, it's so much more about how it speaks to you and what you enjoy than any attempt to sort by objective quality.

I saw many reviews talk about how visceral the fighting was in this show, but damn if I still wasn't taken back by how much I felt the impact of the first hit when Daredevil pounced on Turk.

They absolutely couldn't raise a baby, but damn if I wouldn't watch a sitcom about them trying. I've always assumed that Greg raised Steven for his early years. Judging by how little Steven seems to know at the beginning of the series, I'd say he moved in with the gems not too long before the events of the first…

The younger gems were amazing fun, but thinking about them, the implications make me sad. Though they're thousands of years old at this point, beside Rose they seem to be in a teenager state of mind/physicality (if not younger for Amethyst), with Rose serving not just as the leader, but a motherly figure as well. They…

It has some great tracks, but as an overall album, I'm not quite as enthralled as I was with the last few Mountain Goats albums. Even with that, it's hard not to love the album that brought us the lyric "I personally will stab you in the eye with a foreign object."

At the beginning of the show, I couldn't wait for Jimmy to go full Saul. By the latest episode, I feared the transition because becoming Saul could only mean the destruction of his morals, motivation, and success.

I'm watching it as I type, and I have to say, his exposé on Aunt Cheryl is particularly cutting journalism.

I just watched, and while it was a mixed bag (I enjoyed many of the jokes, but UG dressed up as Rose was NOT OK), I'm just going to talk about Attack the Light, the Steven Universe RPG that just launched on mobile devices. It's charming fun, with the actual voice cast and a battle system inspired by Paper Mario. It…

I heard it's actually a documentary that just followed the two about their daily lives.

Any pictures of this BloodPearl?

The animators on this show draw great reactions, and the Cool Kids' silence at Steven's troubles (his eyebrow animations during which were also amazing) is no exception.

Wouldn't the plot of SU have a crystalline structure no matter how the show was written?

Other people often want to use the TV, so Netflix wins for me by being the only one to take advantage of the Wii U and allow for full browsing on the game pad, as well as transferring the stream to its screen and back instantly by using the d-pad. Maybe the other apps updated functionality, but if not, Netflix wins…

On the Wii U, at least, Netflix is miles ahead of Hulu and Amazon in terms of usability and optimization. (They're all rather bad, though.)

Now, you can spend your evenings indecisively meandering through titles with lightning efficiency, just as God intended!

Nah, that was mostly paranoia whipped up when they heard Equestria Daily was making a Steven Universe site.

Your second paragraph is actually exactly what I was getting at- even many of the lightest episodes of Steven Universe have some payoff, either in subtle lore or small character moments/insight that give the episode importance beyond its own narrative and entertainment value. It doesn't need to be groundbreaking or…

That sounds a good comparison to me. Now, the badgers would be a bit tough. I can't think of many enormous, militant races that are on the side of good.

If we're going classic fantasy, I'll make a motion to codify mice as the stand in for halflings.

My other comment was flagged for trying to include a picture link, so I'll make it brief.
