Did you miss seeing these? Probably not, since people don't go searching for past posts, as far as I know. This will be much shorter than the other due to the lack of back-to-back episodes, which caused much disappointment in me, but I digress. In this episode, we basically find out that Woolie from "Best Friends Play"is the one that started the chain events that caused Lapis to live in a mirror. With that attempt of comedy out of the way, onto one major flaw. Lapis herself. Now I won't bring up the fact that she didn't just live somewhere else on Earth, since I'm pretty sure she just assumed everything was Gem and not human. What really rustled me, however, was the fact she had an automatic change in heart. We've had roughly two seasons of Peridot development, with her being redeemed only recently. Lapis has been absent for most of the series, yet instantly switched sides only two episodes after her re-reveal. I honestly would've taken anything else, to be quite honest. Like an: "Oh, IDK, Steven. I want to live with you, but all of these amazing places you just explained to me that don't have Crystal Gems seem pretty awesome. I'll give it some time, okay?" But nope. I'll just cut this off before it becomes a mindless rant with the JonTron summary:

Eh, not too happy about this one. Lapis agreed to stay on Earth waaay to fast. A two-parter would have been better, but showing Lapis around the place for two episodes would have been tedious as well.

I would have really liked it better if she said something along the lines of "I'll stick around for now and see what I can see" and had some progression to 'I want to stay here' as the season went on.

The unknown (gem?) that attacked Lapis looked too defined to be one of the regular flashback gems, suggesting that it might come back later…

Also, call me paranoid, but when Steven held the orange leaf in front of her nose, I got really big forshadow-y vibes from it.

I found this to be a great episode actually, we got nearly everything we needed to know for Lapis's background. Though I don't really understand the ending, as Steven never really implied that that certain place was Lapis's new home, also the animation style felt a little too cheap in this episode, otherwise its great to see Lapis happy for once.

I probably post the median longest text walls about every episode (others might occasionally put much longer ones, but not on a regular basis) but… I don't really have much to say about this episode. Some are talking about Lapis having too fast of a change of hearth, but I don't see it that way. The way I saw it, she simply decided to give earth a chance, and it's easy to see why, I mean, she can't return to homeworld, and given that her other choices are lifeless rocks, earth wouldn't sound so bad, specially after the small tour that showed her that it has more than what she thought (she specifically said at the end that she didn't got to see much of it before). Still, there is some water to the complaints of things happening fast, which also apply to older episodes, but to me, this is more of a product of the show being just 11 minutes per episode than anything else. The show has developed a pacing where when something is going to be actually resolved, it will happen in an episode. I mean, Garnet spent a bomb very mad at Pearl, and then it got resolved in a single episode. I know it can make feel things too densely packed, but that is just the general pacing of the show.
Heh, I said that I didn't had much to say about the episode, and yet I wrote my typical long paragraph.

What really rustled me, however, was the fact she had an automatic change in heart. We’ve had roughly two seasons of Peridot development, with her being redeemed only recently. Lapis has been absent for most of the series, yet instantly switched sides only two episodes after her re-reveal.

Peridot's liking of Earth didn't develop throughout her entire redemption arc, it happened fairly recently, while initially she was just working together with the CGs out of necessity and wasn't interested in the Earth itself. Besides, she didn't get a comprehensive sky tour of the place from Steven.

And at no point has Lapis "switched sides". She was never with the Crystal Gems, and she hasn't been with Homeworld for thousands of years. Since he healed her gemstone, Steven was her one and only ally, and that hasn't changed.

That's just how I saw it, to be honest. Despite Lapis's bias against a good chunk of everything that isn't Steven, it more than likely solidifies the fact that she might help the CGs sometime in the distant future. Besides, the only reason she wasn't there back home was because of a serious case of identities being mistaken, so she has that going for her. Despite lacking what I can basically describe as an "A Whole New World" scene, Peridot at least received an "oh shit" realization when she was witnessing Steven being himself in the rain. Although, I will admit that I might need to rewatch the whole arc to fact check myself.

By the way, the gem that attacked Lapis… What grabbed my attention was the irregular shape of her gem. Do you think maybe she could be a bismuth (for not mentioning, the bismuth)?

Also, Peridot looks so chill at the end of the episode despite of Lapis reactions. If I had to guess her current state of mind is something like "Now that The Cluster isn't going to kill me at any moment, and I have come to accept and like my stance on earth, everything is fine in the world".

Lion disappeared after Lapis woke up, for some reason.
The one time we see him during the episode, he opens his eyes after Steven passes him to check on Lapis. He likely knows that Steven's worried about her.
My best guess? Lion was helping Steven in his usual style. He saw Lapis return and knew that Steven wanted to talk to her, so he went off on purpose to get Steven to search for him, which would get him to find Lapis instead.

The music in Lion's Ocean, and the music when Lapis flies above the clouds with Steven, they have some similarities. Maybe it just reflects that Steven is taking a fantastic form of transport, but it may suggest that Lion and Lapis have something in common. Both Lion's gem and Lapis could have had similar roles (messengers, maybe) in gem society.

I've noticed that the two members of Blue Diamond's court that we've been formally introduced to (ie, Sapphire and Lapis) both have seer-related abilities. There also seems to be a fixation on eyes in BD's court (Blue Diamond, Blue Pearl, and Sapphire cover their eyes, Lapis has mirror eyes, Sapphire only has one eye, etc.). Pretty obvious things in hindsight but Same Old World is the first time we've seen Lapis use her mirror powers independent from the mirror itself.


The flashback Gem was way too detailed to not be important. A lot of people are saying it's Bismuth so I'm gonna go ahead and humor that theory for a second.

Everyone loves to point out that Bismuth is actually a metal, not a gemstone. So what if Bismuth was an attempt to create a synthetic "Gem" whose formation is less intrusive to a planet's ecosystem? If Rose Quartz could develop a way to grow Gems that wouldn't destroy the earth, she might not have to renounce her whole race. Compromise is better than war, right?

But then why was she bubbled in Lion's mane? Maybe the experiment was a failure. Rose might not have been able to give it full consciousness or conscience like a real Gem, and it ended up being more of a Gem-hunting zombie--useful for battlefield but a tragic abomination anywhere else. Or she could've just become corrupted like all the others bubbled in the temple (but that's not as fun).

I dunno, I'm not very good at this theory stuff.


Overall I really enjoyed yesterday's episode. And I've finally come to grips with the fact that Hit the Diamond really is just going to be an episode about baseball.

Great theory!

My high school geology teacher referred to Bismuth as a "Crystal-Metal" due to its pronounced geometric and crystalline shapes, so an artificial Bismuth "gem" wouldn't be out of the question.

The Mystery gem certainly has the color scheme of bismuth with yellow, green, pink/purple/red, brown & grey present in their hair, with their body being [silhouetted] grey and the pink gem in the center, which is presumably the same one in Lion's mane, as you mentioned.

One of the flaws to this could be that gems, having the ability to make "hard-light" bodies, correlates to how real gems bend, reflect and distort light, and how metals don't manipulate light to that extent. However, neither do pearls, so anything crystalline or shiny may be fair game.

A metal-based lifeform has also been brought up in other theories, too, with one stating the whole reason Homeworld is conquering planets and creating gems is holdover "programming" from a war against metal-based race. The "forerunner" gems were shattered during this war, leaving the military-programmed diamonds in charge. In this case, Bismuth could be an experiment to make one of these metal-species, or it could be a solitary one that landed on Earth.

But I personally like this idea that gems were trying to find ways to produce new gems. This could also the initial reason to the shard experiments, creating new gems from the remains from older ones.

EDIT: Someone brought it to my attention that the bubble inside Lion's mane is similar to what the bird that Opal fought had inside of it, with their theory being that these bubbles are used as a sort of control collar, giving the gem the appearance of a corrupted gem, but following directives from whoever bubbled them. In this case, Lion himself would be Bismuth, just under orders by Rose (and since Steven is half Rose, half human, Lion does not have to follow his commands exactly). This also can explain why Lion leaves when Lapis is wakes up.

Wait, I thought that Lapis said a Homeworld gem (that one with the dread mane) poofed her and then the Homeworld side put her in the mirror, interrogated her, and abandoned her.

WARNING: The following spoiler is about "Barn mates" and "Hit the diamond". Read at your own risk


Well, after some strong episodes, now come some rather relaxed ones. Barn Mates is a very funny episode, and yet, it shows a lot how Peridot has become a lot more friendly and sensitive, and better at reaching others, despite the occasional slip (the scene in the promo).
Hit the diamond it's also a comedic episode over all, but a visit from Homeworld gems can't be without giving us another small but important piece of lore, and this one definitely gives us at least two. 1)Gems of the same kind can actually have rather diverse personalities and 2)Rubies are, well, they are stupid.
Also, Yellow Diamond might not actually care at all about Peridot's rebellion after all, which would be a big twist. I say might, because with the aforementioned Ruby stupidity, it's hard to tell whether if Homeworld doesn't care about Peridot, or if the Rubies ignored her because it just wasn't their mission. Also, independently of their intelligence, the Rubies overall niceness and politeness is the clearest sign so far of how morally grey is the rebellion after all.
P. D: That little moment at the end of Barn Mates will give a lot of fuel to Lapidot shippers.

These spoilers on the other hand, are kinda small

Ehh… Despite the fact that there was some plot progress, this episode simply felt like filler, and it feels lacking after coming out of a long series of plot focused episodes (the only episode that didn't progress the plot since "Catch and Release" was "Steven's birthday", and even that had some good character interaction and development). It wasn't even particularly funny, though this might be in good part because Barn Mates and Hit the Diamond are tough acts to follow.

Overall, this was pretty "meh" episode.

TFW you watch all the leaked episodes and now you just threw yourself into a new hiatus.

I honestly just didn't want to play "Dodge the Spoilers" for the next three weeks since I can never tell what image is a spoiler from a recently released episode or one that hasn't come out yet. Hell, I decided to watch the spoilers after accidentally clicking on a picture of Hit the Diamond. That and I don't want to miss the fanart that gets made by people watching the leaked episodes that will get lost in the gallery by the time the episode comes out for real.

I honestly wish they would stop with these freaking spoilers and leaks, I know the argument is "Just don't watch the leaked episode" but doing that means actively dodging the fanbase to avoid spoilers, shifting your eyes quickly when you see a Deviantart fanart in your inbox of the leaked episode etc. etc. It's just easier to see the episode when it's leaked because if you actually have to put effort into being unspoiled, something that is damn near impossible when you use sites like this, Deviantart and Twitter, and means missing out on some speculations and fanart that get lost by the time the episode comes out.

That's the only reason I watched em. There is no point of even trying to run away from spoilers if you visit this site. But now I fucked myself, even if there is an episode 7 (Yeah right im sure sugar is flicking her bean at the thought of another 3 month hiatus) There is still now a 3 week wait.

God damn its really hard to be a fan of this show sometimes. It makes me want more but it rarely gives more.

Okay, my gripes about Lapis liking earth too quickly are fixed with this episode.

And terminator Ruby looks pissed.

Damn you're actually skipping the leaks and watching it weekly?

Have fun avoiding spoilers

Based on the way she speaks about her rebellion in recent episodes, and her overall rather positive attitude, If you ask me, Peridot isn’t merely accepting her current situation, she is embracing it.
Deep inside, she is actually proud of herself for facing Yellow Diamond. Her rational side tells her that she did something really stupid, but her emotional side tells her that she also did something huge, something that makes a difference and makes her noteworthy.

I wish CN USA would have aired Hit the Diamond this week as well because I'm sure they're aware CN France aired it early and people online already probably spoiled some of the jokes or certain other things (like the mods on this site who kept removing spoiler tags for reasons I'm frankly just going to say right now I think were rather dumb). Though new question: did CN France end up airing the English dialogue in addition to the French dub? Because if they didn't actually air it in the English language then that still gives those of us who don't know croissant from hon hon hon good reason to still watch the episode when it airs in the States and find out the context of what's going on. (especially in regards to that character that appeared at the end of Barn Mates)

I'm not going to go into details here to spare the spoilers, but is you ask me about Lapis current attitude, I think she is depressed or something of the sort. The thing about depression is that it doesn't keep you from having happy moments, nor are you sad all the time, but it does male you apathic most of the time, and very often it makes you angry (particularly when you feel frustrated and sick of the feeling of depression). Of course, it can vary from one person to another, and it might be something else, but her attitude did remind me my own experiences with depression.

I was trying to avoid the leaked episodes, but I goofed and watched "Steven Floats" early trying to find the episodes as they came out…

I was a little surprised that Ruby is actually a lot less hot-headed than she seems in other episodes, and that Sapphire actually has legs. I really liked how Garnet had that calm "whoops" after she fused together again. What a pair of Dorks.

The level of variance, both in appearance and personality in the invading Rubies seems to indicate that either Homeworld is losing the uniformity it had before the war over Earth, as we see in Garnet's origin story, or that these are reject Rubies "not fit" to work on more important tasks.

Really fun episode, but didn't do much to the story other than to push back Earth being in danger again by a little bit, and also drives the point that losing Peridot was much less of a threat to Homeworld than originally it seemed.

(I really want to know what is going on with the Terminator Ruby, is she actually angry all the time, just looks and sounds that way, or is just suspicious of the Crystal Gems? What is with that thank-you? Was she being polite, or just relieved that the mission is closer to being over? If she fused with Sapphire, would the Garnet there have two eyes?)

I've discovered a very interesting fan theory regarding Hit the Diamond, about why the Homeworld Rubies are so dumb… Or are they?

The idea is that there may be a new rebellion going on on Homeworld, and at least two of these Rubies – Eyeball (the one with her gem on her eye) and Doc (the one with a Peridot visor) – are involved, and are just trying too hard to look dumb (or at least, dumber than they actually are).

  • Remember the Rubies in The Answer, all looking the same. These new Rubies, however, have different outfits and shades of red, not to mention that their personalities are all different. Normally, Homeworld is all about order and lack of individuality, but there is clearly less uniformity among this batch. Are there liberal ideas influencing the Homeworld society?
  • When Eyeball first climbed out of the ship, she looked in the direction of the Gems. And they just stood there for some time, shocked, Steven even had time to mutter "Ruby?" before Garnet dragged him into the barn. How the hell could she miss them? What if she only pretended not to see them?
  • Doc noticed that there were more than five of them, but whatever'd the thought away after counting everyone else, effectively driving the other Rubies' attention away from the the fact that a new Ruby has just appeared.
  • Just look at this sad face:

Eyeball envies Ruby's and Sapphire's flirting. If only she could freely fuse like this… But Homeworld condemns that.

  • That "thank you" in the end. For telling where to find Jasper – or maybe for showing the Rubies that life on Earth can be fun? Also, the giant Ruby didn't immediately buy the Neptune thing: there was a very skeptical look on her face, until what could be a rebel Ruby's mind assumed control of the fusion's mind and went "yeah, sounds totally legit". A rebel Ruby would only be too happy to waste their time on Neptune, thus delaying whatever plans Homeworld has; and they'd have a perfect excuse – "that Steven mislead us".

So there you have it. This isn't my theory, and I'm not saying that I agree with it. But I think at the very least it's a rather cool idea, and there are some very good points made here.
Thoughts?

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I like the way you think.

Not very related… I do wonder what happened "last time" (when Doc says "Remember what happened last time?")
--------------------------------------
In a different note, I was thinking about fusions, specifically, Sardonyx, Sugilite and Garnet. Some people think that in Sugilite, Amethyst resonates more with Ruby and In Sardonyx Pearl resonates more ith Sapphire, but I disagre; I think both of them resonate equally with Garnet as a whole, and the differences are just due to Pearl's and Amethyst personalities.
This thought comes partly from the fact that Sugilite and Sardonyx have something curious in common: They are both complete show-offs, but the way they show off is rather different; Sugilite likes to show off her brute strength (very Amethyst-like), while Sardonyx likes to show off her technique and coordination (Pearl). Now, the showiness is because both Pearl and Amethsyt do like to show off when they think they are doing something particularly good, though not at the level of the fusions, while garnet, well, garnet thinks of herself as awesome.
Now, funny thing about Garnet, is that neither Ruby or Sapphire seem to think specially high of themselves, but, and this is the best part, they do think very highly of each other and their relationship!, which in turn leads to garnet having high views of herself (though she isn't that showy about it). All in all, i think the way that works is genius and very cool, and shows a little bit of how exactly is that fusions end up being bigger than the sum of the parts: simply put, a fusion personality is a combination of the members personality plus their relationship to each other.

Oh huh I just realized something.

The baseball outfits the Crystal Gems all wore seemed to be mainly for hiding their gems, like Amethyst has the ascot to hide her gem on her chest, Lapis wears a midriff baring shirt that covers her upper back, Pearl has a hat to cover her head… but Sapphire oddly didn't wear anything over her gem on her hand, not even a fingerless glove. And it's Ruby and Sapphire that mess up and give away they're Gems, so yeah I take it this shows that when apart the two of them have a harder time fully thinking things through and "keeping it together" so to speak, further showing why they work better together as Garnet.

You know, for an event titled "The Summer of Steven", there's been a complete lack of Steven this summer. I mean, they've only showed 4 episodes, one episode that was aired in France has yet to air in the U.S., and now it seems they entered ANOTHER HIATUS! Can someone please explain to me what the heck is going on over at CN? I would love to know.

It's not one episode, it's two.

Ok, uh… how do I say this, as a newcomer of the series? No, scratch that: a super tardy newcomer of the series?

Well, after what it felt like an eternity, on June 2, I finally started watching it. Why I didn't do it sooner? Between preparing myself for it and constantly clearing my daily schedule in the process, I can't just jump in a show like a stone violently thrown, I need to carefully take my time, like being softly put in an aquarium like a regular fish and move peacefully from there and onwards.

I've only seen 15 episodes so far (pilot episode included) and I'm hooked, I can't let it go, I'm entirely theirs in body and soul like other cases before it… Lost, My Little Pony, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc.

I see from two to four episodes each day, depending of my time. I know I have a looooong way to go but right here, right now, I can say that both Cat Fingers and So Many Birthdays were a bit disturbing… 100 outta 100! I admit, however, that I’m discretely aware of… certain things that I shouldn’t have seen yet. Thank goodness that without the proper context I don’t understand much, but I will once I get there. The ways need to be paved and I’ve paved my own when I took the decision to watch Steven Universe from the very first episode, never skipping one since then. The journey has just begun.

I see from two to four episodes each day, depending of my time. I know I have a looooong way to go but right here, right now, I can say that both Cat Fingers and So Many Birthdays were a bit disturbing… 100 outta 100! I admit, however, that I’m discretely aware of… certain things that I shouldn’t have seen yet. Thank goodness that without the proper context I don’t understand much, but I will once I get there. The ways need to be paved and I’ve paved my own when I took the decision to watch Steven Universe from the very first episode, never skipping one since then. The journey has just begun.

In my experience, contextless spoilers can actually enhance the experience, because why you know something is going to happen, the question of how is going to happen gets all inside your mind and builds a lot of hype.

Well, after what it felt like an eternity, on June 2, I finally started watching it. Why I didn't do it sooner?

Well you better stay the fuck off this site until you finish because there are spoiler land minds all over the place

I got lucky I started watching right at the perfect moment where spoilers didn't matter because the plot had JUUUST started a week after I started watching

And honestly be careful because some of the plot twits are actually really amazing.

So, that answers were did Greg got all that money. It's also adds a lot to his character to see how now he has more than enough money than he could need, yep he doesn't seem to really care that much. And it confirms, that, yes, Had Greg not stayed for Rose, he would definitely have hit it big. And it also almost confirms that "Drop Beat Dad" is going to be about Marty and Sour Cream, if we take the sneak peek for that episode in consideration.

Also, I don't know If anyone really cares, but it's unlikely I will be able to participate in discussion about the new episodes since I will go in vacation for the next two weeks and probably won't have a proper computer available for much of the day. But I will definitely make sure to catch the episodes anyway. Well, see you in two weeks!

So Steven's now gained another one of his mother's abilities (I confess I forgot that Rose could control her descent, I think we've only seen it a small amount of times in flashback episodes), and huh it looks like Steven is physically stronger now too?

Also holy shit Greg is now rich!

As you might know, there is a collection of sneak peeks out there already. One of the things that calls my attention the most that you can notice in them, is that Greg not only is rich now, but that he remains rich. All that money is bound to be a chekov gun at some point. Also, the fact that Greg lives in a Van more by choice than anything is rather nice, but also seriously weird.
