Yeah, none of the characters had anything but grim sympathy for the gem mutants. They were dangerous, but everyone was aware that they were people twisted into something horrible rather than evil. And the cluster is just one big gem mutant.
On an unrelated note, between her reactions here and in the last two or three episodes, I get the feeling that the whole time we knew Peridot as a villain she was actually severely rationalizing her actions. Deep down, it doesn't look like she was as coldly fine with destroying the Earth or continuing Homeworld's experiments as she seemed.

So will P-dot be redeem-ified?
That's gotta be an arc, right?
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.She already has. I really liked how while she admits the beings of Earth besides Steven and the Gems aren't all that important to her, she's still legitimately sad when it looks like she failed to save them. She's well on her way to becoming a Crystal Gem.

I meant towards Home World, how will she ever fit back into their societals now that she's changed so much?
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Hi, guys! Been on TV Tropes for a while but I'm new to the forum. Just wanted to join in by sharing what I thought about these episodes.
I really liked how Steven's solution to the Cluster problem was essentially Talking the Monster to Death. That, plus the actual pain he was feeling when Peridot was drilling into it really shows how empathic of a person he really is. Maybe part of his gem powers are that he literally gets sympathy pain when another gem is needlessly hurt.
.
Watermelon Island was fun, too. The watermelon Steven village was sooooo cute
. And I really liked the big fight scene. Though I'll admit that I was disappointed that Malachite and Alexandrite didn't have their own fusion weapons (gauntlets + spear + whip = ???; helmet + water = ???). Also, I thought that was a kind of weaksauce way Jasper was handled at the end. It wasn't even a Villain: Exit, Stage Left like with Peridot in Friend Ship. She just...slid into a chasm, unconscious, without so much as a line by anyone acknowledging it.
Still, pretty good episodes all around. I can guarantee that one to all three of the new episodes will be about Lapis getting used to being back to normal, and Peridot trying to apologize for herself and Jasper. And Jasper won't show back up (for more than a brief tease) until the season finale, I guarantee it.

He stopped Not-Lavos with it.

Can not exactly be a 4 week special with 5 episodes to dispose to your audience.
Was that.... a Contact reference in Gem Drill? The walls of the pod flickering into a spacey tunnel effect? I'm choosing to believe it was
.
Watermelon Island was already full of Evangelion references.
I really liked how while she admits the beings of Earth besides Steven and the Gems aren't all that important to her, she's still legitimately sad when it looks like she failed to save them. She's well on her way to becoming a Crystal Gem. On her way? Isn't that exactly how Gems feel about humanity? They barely register Connie and Greg as more important and tbh I barely care about other lame hoomans.
Man, the opening was so confusing, with Steven being stuck as watermelon.
Watermelon doggie and chicks are so adorable.
Well, you got to forgive them. Watermelons probably picked up the whole "sacrifice fixes things" from their first episode.
Female melon goes to war and her husband stays with kid, This show is so progressive.
When I heard that ride will take 2 hours, I thought for a second that whole episode will be about them traveling to Cluster.

Because we assume that Gems, when unconscious, have Super Drowning Skills
So are they going to ever get the cluster out or. Just sorta. Leave it there.
Given that fusions are conversations. I love the amount of coordination required for that one-liner.
