I was wondering why the "Freddy" thing sounded so familiar to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy96nY4zEv8

That line reminded me more of Futurama than Spongebob.

Trust me Randomness, there are a lot of people (not necessarily here, my best experience was off site) who are convinced that Jasper tortured Lapis 24/7 just because "she's an evil monstrous bitch".

I wouldn't go that far(I mean, maybe not 24/7), but that sounds like something the black&white fan would do.

People like to exaggerate characters a lot...even based on a single trait.

Never forget the time that one character did something.

If every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what this saying means.

Sometimes things that aren't "proper" or conventionally "perfect" can result into great stuff. Stuff that the world would be lesser for not having around.

It basically summarizes the show.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Yep.

Pearl isn't conent to just sit around and look pretty. She enjoys building things and using her hands, which has led to her helping Greg with his van, building the gem drill with Peridot, among other things.

Amethyst isn't a giant aggressive warrior, but she's one of the best friends you could ever ask for, and will listen to any problem, as Vidalia, Steven, and Pearl can all attest to.

Garnet is pretty obvious.

Peridot isn't a lowly technician who obeys every single menial order without question. She's loud and silly and full of herself and doesn't have a problem telling you that your plan is the stupidest thing she's ever heard.

They're all hotdogs, rather than porkchops.

I never liked that saying, mostly because I greatly prefer hot dogs to pork chops.

Heh, reminds me of part of a comic book review of all things that's stuck with me for years, after Grant Morrison (after taking a few months off, during which there was a mediocre filler arc) did an issue of Batman in prose:

Well, some people disliked it because it's not a comic, a stance much ridiculed by interweb savants. The savants argument is basically that no one is entitled to be disappointed or dismayed by the substitution of panels for prose, ostensibly, although they don't say this, because prose is higher art. I disagree, but even if it is higher art, the savants are still wrong.

Suppose you develop a craving for cheeseburgers. You've been dieting for five months, eating mostly grotesk vegetables, and in that whole time, abstainining from red meat. Because of this you no longer stock ketchup in your cabinets. No problem. You drive to the local store and grab a bottle. Upon returning, you're ready to chow down. You throw the chop meat in a bowl, mix in the secret blend of herbs and spices only you know from your fat days, roll up your patties, fry them, and top them off with those budget brand American cheese singles that taste like family barbeques from when you were a kid. You pop the rolls out of the toaster, and just for a second, you hover, ketchup bottle in hand, over your sumptuous feast, thinking about how fucking great it's gonna be when you sink your teeth into that juicy, tender slab of dead cow. The meal is so very nearly complete now, just a squeeze of the ketchup bottle and, and - wait, what the fuck? You squeeze the ketchup bottle and out comes... caviar, FUCKING CAVIAR. And no surprise, you're pissed. You're pissed because the store misled you and sold you something you never intended to buy. Now maybe you like caviar, maybe it's your favorite food, but you were lusting after this burger for so long and now your whole experience is fucked. So yeah, even though you think caviar is great, sometimes you just don't want caviar. Sometimes you just want ketchup.

There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.

You know the weird thing about the French episodes? The names of the gems in the opening use the French spelling, and every time text appears on screen there are French subtitles, but all the dialogue is in English. I guess they are catering to the rare, can only speak English but also can only read French demographic.

OK, from what I understand, France is only airing episodes they haven't aired in the country yet, they may not necessarily be ones the US hasn't gotten yet. Still, if they do air new episodes, keep all discussions in the Spoiler thread.

It's a dual-audio broadcast—English and French audio on separate, selectable tracks. The French text is for people watching the French dub.

I think the U.S. should have a French language setting to choose from their service, but we only possibly get to choose spanish.

[up][up]Yeah. Over here, that is how pretty much everything is aired. You can always press a button on the controller to revert to the original audio. Most people don't because no subtitles, but the option is there always. I assume it is the same thing in France.

So France is airing even more episodes: apparently one a night this week.

So much for normal scheduling, then. Hopefully it won't all be new episodes, at least.
