Steven Universe

I forgot it was just Peridot that shouldn't have been able to eat before reforming, though I've also wondered how well a "temporarily" formed stomach would work.

navy: also much worse than she seems.

i always appreciate when a work shows that someone can have a good, positive attitude, and be nice, and still be a villain.

I believe you mean "Greg was still "Star Child" to Marty".

"Just you, me, Pearl, and don't forget Mom." That remains the most baffling joke to me.

That was the start of Steven deliberately reminding both Greg and Pearl of Rose to force them to reconcile their differences.

the "i think i just heard a crack" thing is quite strange, considering there's no way, or at least no reason, for peridot to have bones before reforming. was it referring to her gem? i don't think that makes much more sense. are Era 2 gems so structurally unsound that their gems would break that easily?

it was probably just a silly gag that they didn't put a lot of thought into.

Putting thought into jokes like that literally defeats the purpose.

For the writers.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

Good enough.

That would make even less sense—they were pulling Peridot by her limbs, and her gemstone in on her head.

That Dove short screen of Stevonnie is making me wonder—is Stevonnie gonna feel awkward calling Greg, Doug, or Priyanka "dad/mom"? (When they're outside of a dream, I mean.)

Since it's hooked up to the TV, probably a game console.

"Legs From Here to Homeworld◊" and "Change Your Mind◊" show Doug not wearing it while Connie wears it, so it's definitely the same jacket.

This is why I want an episode about Doug and Priyanka finding out about Stevonnie! ...Do they even know yet?

I'm not sure how Jenny was suppose to know that girl from the race was his girlfriend...he was too busy geeking out of the car.

There's going to be a Steven nuke on CN prior to the premiere of the movie. They will be marathoning all the episodes.

It's a can they've kicked down the road for over four years, but I still hope they cover in some significant way.

Steven and Connie already kept it secret for like a year-and-a-half in-show, so another two (offscreen) years wouldn't be implausible or remove the impact—Connie's parent would probably still be shocked if they found out when Connie was twenty.

I usually like when a Time Skip like this gradually reveals the significant stuff that happened during, but that might be incompatible for the format of Steven Universe—I think the longest Steven's hid anything significant from the audience are the bulk of "Open Book" and "Mr. Greg".

That's more like a Steven Tsar Bomba.

"Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service" might be my favorite episode title. i feel like the pun is kind of lost on the target audience, though; unless their parents showed them, most of them have probably never heard of Kiki's Delivery Service.

Which is fine?

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

I think the movie is well-known enough that even a child with a decent general knowledge of pop culture would have heard of it. The same goes for “Marble Madness” and “Now We’re Only Falling Apart”.

Now “Future Boy Zoltron”, “Last One Out of Beach City”, and “Your Mother and Mine”—those are some old, obscure references. That second one in particular gave a lot a people the completely wrong idea, even if they were exactly the right age.

Is that the one people thought of or the accurate one?

I mean, if Steven can "heal" a damaged teddy bear, I see no reason to doubt he could "heal" a broken plate.

Jamie's suppose to be an adult?

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

He could potentially repair it, but wouldn't in this case. Steven's healing never really went away, it's just power by his empathy. It'll work on basically anything he knows to be living, but an inanimate object is more difficult. He could perceive MC Bear-Bear as a character, but not the Geode or Galaxy Warp.

Theoretically, he could repair any object, but he'd have to get very good at controlling his emotions—like if he thought of them as extensions of someone they would help.

That assumes that Steven never lost his healing powers, which is untrue.

He lost it because he lost his confidence in doing it...

That's what was said.

Rewatch, Day 25

(I've realized I stayed with four-per-day longer than I should have to spread things evenly. For the remainder, I'll be doing 2 2/3 on average. I'm going to 2-2-4 for today and the next two to avoid splitting up "Bismuth" or the season finale arc.)

I think that Jasper doesn't know enough about humans to know just how impossible that should be.

I've been watching the show under the assumption that Steven has been growing stronger, physically, over time. He definitely was not even close to comparable to Amethyst at the start of the show. The scene that sticks out in my mind the most is all three Crystal Gems leaping from the boardwalk back to the temple (or maybe not quite that far, but at least all leaping off screen), and Steven doing a pathetic normal jump to try and emulate them, which is a far cry from his super jumps later in the series.
