Now that I think about it, do you think any of the existing songs will get a Dark Reprise later on in the show?
"The cruelest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't." -Ben "Yahtzee" CroshawHmm. I don't know what songs would lend themselves easily to a Dark Reprise. Maybe Stronger than You.
When we're done, there won't be anything left.Barn Mates was a fantastic episode. Lapis turned into a brooding teenager, which works. Peridot was her funny adorkable self, and Steven was Steven
. I laughed out loud at all Peridot's attempts to win over Lapis. I even gasped out loud when Lapis destroyed Peridot's tape recorder. Lapis wanted to hurt Peridot and she did. When Peridot screamed, "Were you trapped in a tape recorder too", I laughed and laughed and laughed. Then stopped because if you think about it Lapis was trapped as kind of a tape recorder. It's funny but sad, which is something Steven Universe does so well (blending funny and sad).
Side note: Love that you can hear Amethyst and Steven's influence sometimes when Peridot speaks, so cute and dorky. "Look, the ribbon is even blue! I got 'cho number!"
Side note 2: Tumblr has gone a little crazy with the hate of Lapidot after this episode. Lapidot moved from crack to a threat for other ships somehow. Now there's a little tag war going on, which is funny and sad, but not in a good way.
"Procrastinate now, don’t put it off." Ellen De GeneresHm, I've been thinking on this today, and I'm wondering why they threw in the "what we really are" red herring while promoting In Too Deep. We learned absolutely nothing about any crimes or dark secrets the Crystal Gems have. If anything, they disproved the theory that the Crystal Gems trapped Lapis, which puts them in a better light.
Misleading marketing is one of my least favorite things.
Whats funny (to me) is that Lapidot predates any other Peridot ships.
Before the two ever appeared on screen together, people were shipping them because they were the two Homeworld Gems we knew about.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

Back again, quite a dangerous thing since there are unreleased episodes in the US I'm avoiding like crazy. Saw Barn Mates; general reaction is AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Some of Peridot's dialogue was pretty bizarre in this one, though. Special mention goes to "H-2-OH MY GOSH", which is still making me cringe.
Currently writing something. Currently procrastinating.
