"Joking Victim"...the reason she ever even liked him at all, but she's slightly more sensible about it now.

He's only nice to gain.

She had another line that was like "We're only friends when you want something."

So, the dance between Pearl and Greg in Mr. Greg seemed very familiar to me, and I figured out why.

You Love Me And I Love Both Of You

The Adolescence Of Utena (the dance begins about halfway through)

Some bits of the music are the same, and the dance seems to be influenced as well, to an extent.

The subtext of the episode kind of paints Lars in a pathetic light. He's failing school, and apparently swears at his parents whenever they bring it up. All his "friends" actually hate him at worst or think he's a huge downer at best, and the only real friend he has he's trying to distance himself from because of past drama. Dude's screwed up all his relationships and is probably going to end up alone.

Hard to really sympathize with him too much though because he did it all to himself.

Probably doesn't deserve to get yeerk'd, though.

Gem powers can be pretty creepy sometimes.

Yeah Steven possessing his body just made things more embarrassing for him.

Peridot's twitter updated. Like Keep Beach City Weird, posts seem to correspond to new episodes, with today's posts being about who Peridot would switch bodies with.

[up][up]They're apparently both still in high school, because colleges don't have report cards like that.

As far as Steven's powers, so far he has:

  • Summoning sheilds and protective shells
  • Healing Spit
  • Communicate with other Gems through dreams
  • Shapeshifting (so far he can only really manage stretching)
  • Mild Super-Strength
  • Super Jump and floating
  • Summon plant minions (he can also Assume Direct Control of one of them)
  • Can now Assume Direct Control of people.

Did I miss anything?

The mental possession is part of the dream-walking power. It works on anything with a mind, it seems.

And his healing spit is out of order at the moment.

[up][up][up][up] You forgot his shield can vibrate Anti-Magic. He used it to dispel Lapis and Pearl's water and holo clones.

Okay, in hindsight maybe it's just anti- shadow clones, and not anti-magic in general then.

Speaking of subtext, are we all just going to ignore the fact that when Steven woke up in Lars's body, Lars was buck naked with a dirty magazine on his lap?
It's not ignored, but there isn't much to say about it. Lars fell asleep rubbing one out.

If this counts for TV-Y7

And Steven Universe is TV-PG, I don't see the issue.

I do think this is the most explicit sexual reference so far, even counting Pearl's monlogue about Rose's "scabbard".

Is it just me or does it look like Lars has a type judging by Sadie and the model on the magazine.[lol]

Well, you win some and lose some. From what I understand, the "Wiener in Hand" sign at Funland was taken out of "Too Short to Ride." Maybe this was the staff's subtle way of revenge.

When did Steven slip Lars his spit?

Who will be the last independent lifeform in the Universe to be taken over by the Rose Collective?

She can only take over one person at a time, so in good news: the universe is safe, mang.

Though I bet she would've tooken the body of another Gem if she could while giving birth life to Stephen. In order to teach him the ways of his heritage.
