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.

Peridot is a huge dork.

I also liked how immediately after she said "holy smokes" Amethyst came in and said exactly the same thing.

In Too Deep hasn't had enough songs yet.

Or any songs.

Disappointed.

Lapis needs to sing.

Not that I think they'll ever be in the theme as some fans insist. It'd mess up the whole melody and you'd need to construct a new theme from scratch. If Connie's not getting a part, I don't think they will either.

Hm, I could see the Lapis Lazuli somg coming back in a longer form if Jasper ever gets redeemed. Kinda as a way to get Jasper to ease up on Lapis.

Now that I think about it, do you think any of the existing songs will get a Dark Reprise later on in the show?

Hmm. I don't know what songs would lend themselves easily to a Dark Reprise. Maybe Stronger than You.

Stronger Than You and Peace And Love could work as Dark Reprises.

Technically, Malachite's bgm gives dar reprises to Jasper and Lapis' motifs, mostly the latter, and "The Return" during Greg's talk with Steven has a somber violin rendition of Rose's theme. Not vocal, but that's the first that came to mind.

Barn Mates was a fantastic episode. Lapis turned into a brooding teenager, which works. Peridot was her funny adorkable self, and Steven was Steven grin. 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.

Hm, 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.

Yeah the special was about what The Cluster really are.

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.

Which was flimsy and ridiculous grounds for shipping to begin with, they have no one to blame for themselves for having these concepts without getting the full characters.

You're saying that as though Lapidot shipping hasn't increased since Barn Mates aired.

Seems to be a split thing. In any other situation, two enemies sharing a room would be cause for suggestive shipping comments and jokes about sexual, er, fusion tension.

I find humor in the Ruby that came out of the Eye, what with her Gem being over her eye. A funny coincidence, and I imagine she must get teased for having no depth perception.

The episode Frybo would indicate a maybe leaning towards a "Yes"

Yes, when Lapis covered her eyes with her wings, she had trouble seeing.
