Seven consecutive days.

That first shot of Hader wearing one black glove had me in tears. Such a hilarious detail to latch onto from the movie. In fact, the wardrobes throughout this episode were perfect.

I agree with you that the Rubies can be easily fooled as far as identity goes - that feels important. Seems like it would be harder to fake a shattering, though, and I don't think there's any reason to believe the Ruby was mistaken on that point. She saw it with her own eye.

Connie was going back to school-shopping. She broke another kid's arm and has to transfer to a new school.

In 'Back to the Moon', one of the Rubies says, "I was there. I saw it with my own eye. I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz, shatter Pink Diamond."

I'm sorry, the closed captioning says "Moops".

That show's theme song was one of the first things I downloaded on Napster. Because I couldn't think of anything I wanted to download other than television theme songs.

The opening calls to mind that of 'The Norm Show,' in which Norm MacDonald narrowly avoids being hit by a car and, later, a wrecking ball.

That was so good. As soon as Peridot started kicking the wall right underneath the injector, I realized it was a Wile E. Coyote reference and was cackling through the rest of the episode. I really expected Steven to run out off of a cliff and stop in mid-air (because of floating powers) before looking down and…

Are you also upset that they shoehorned in this "heterosexual" attribute out of nowhere?

Stop trying to make You Don't Mess with the Zohan a thing. It was as bad as the rest.

Oh my god, the story inside a story inside a story inside a grayble blew my mind. I love this show so much.

I loved Glob's command: "Darkness off."
(As opposed to "Let there be light.")

Mandaliet, It's So Loud in Here

If nothing else, this show gave us Philip Baker Hall in a fuzzy, pink Easter Bunny costume. Can't ask for much more than that.

Simon to Betty: "You remember me!" Clearly a reference to the episode "I Remember You", but this one had nowhere near the same emotional resonance. Not a bad episode, but deploying that reference seems premature.

One thing that struck me about "The Funeral" is that the conversation about Joe's father occurred with the body in the room, often visible on-screen. Maybe I'm more sensitive to it because I have attended a funeral in the recent past and so the experience of being in the room with the body is fairly fresh in my mind.…

I don't think of Maxine as an "aspiring mother". I don't think she's had to give too much thought about why she wants to have kids (interesting that it's always plural), so much as that it's just something she anticipated. I like the contrast with her statement about marriage, that she sees the institution as needless…

Cool. I'll check it out.

It grabbed me too and I spent a while listening to Thomas D'Arcy songs after the episode ended. As far as I can tell, there's only one "video" of the song on YouTube and it only had 3 views when I pulled it up last night.
