This was a fun episode, but to be honest, it was the first episode to actually make me feel bad for Ronaldo. More so than "Beach City Horror Club", the episode that was actually supposed to inspire sympathy for the guy. Like, the breakup scene itself was funny in its over-the-top-ness, but it kinda bugged me that no one seemed to care about Ronaldo's hardship afterwards.

Favorite part was Fryman's "What about my hair?"[lol]

"BCHC" seemed more like it was suppose to invoke sympathy for Larson...

Present Ronald didn't seem to care.

People like Jerry.

No, the problem is that this time the pain was undeserved, and got an innocent involved as collateral damage.

I'm all for Ronaldo sabotaging himself. I'm no for people forcing him into relationship stuff he's uncomfortable with, and ruining his actual relationships in the process. This is extremely off-message for Steven Universe.

Post a source or it's worse than useless.

TV Guide and CN's website schedule still don't go past this Sunday.

EDIT: The post above this previously had an unconfirmed schedule. Also, I quoteblocked the wrong line.

Post that in the spoiler thread as well, and probably spoiler tag it if you can. We're instituting a new policy in the Spoiler Thread where we spoiler tag anything to do with Weeks 3 and 4.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

It didn't have to be a relationship...I wasn't specific, they could've been gambling partners.

I'm predicting Ronaldo will probably get back together with his girlfriend after everything cools down as she is willing to listen.

I wonder what those last two weeks are going to consist of. Maybe it's going to be another plot development, like "The Return"/"Jailbreak". But if it's two weeks worth, maybe it's a whole Story Arc. If it is, then I'm really excited! grin

One of my only problems with the show is that the Breather Episodes outnumber the Plot Episodes by a wide margin. Sure, they all develop one or more characters to an extent, but the episodes that actually move what can be considered the overarching story forward are few and far between. And when they do, it's in one or two episodes that almost feel rushed, like they want to get them out of the way so that they can do more character development. I still stand by my opinion that "Super Watermelon Island" and "Gem Drill" felt like a one-two-punch of tying up loose ends.

Characterization is essential, it lets the viewer know who the people in the plot are and why they're doing what they do. But when it has such a heavy focus on it that nothing really happens to the characters in the grand scheme of things once they've been developed, you start to lose a sense of the stakes.

If they're saying to avoid leaks and spoilers at all costs, then I'm thinking maybe they're going to have a whole block of new plot-heavy episodes in a row! Seeing the Gems have to deal with a threat that isn't solved or delayed in one episode should be amazing (if true)! Maybe a new Gem gets introduced. Maybe Yellow Diamond (or another one) shows up. Maybe Jasper actually comes back. Maybe someone betrays someone else. Anything can happen!

I'll admit, I caved and read the leaked titles, but aside from that, I know nothing. I'm doing my best to forget them as soon as possible. I'm really excited for the tail end of season three. We may be on the verge of a Tone Shift. And the idea of that both excites and scares me.

Sorry for the length. I'm just so excited! grin

[up][up]Jane will probably be mentioned in the next KBCW entry, and assume there will be one for this episode.

Speaking of which, each episode last week had either a KBCW entry or posts from Peridot's twitter. I wondering if that's a pattern that's going to keep up.

I initially thought that you were talking about Rick & Morty's Jerry. Man does that guy's life suck.

@thatother1dude

Its from Toonzone's forums They usually get their scheduling info from official sources

[up][up][up] I think the problem here is that people often tend to forget that SU is a magical Slice of Life show first and a serialized plot second. The plot is definitley given more importance than other shows but the point still stands

[up]That is not a reliable source! It's just some random poster who's basing these schedules on previous leaks.

A few weeks before "Summer of Steven" started, that exact same poster listed a schedule that had "Mr. Greg" as after "Too Short to Ride". I've already had to delete at least two recap pages because people treat those posts as confirmation.
