How exactly did Pearl know where the kids were anyway? One second Connie says they found the monster, the next, second Pearl's right there.

She had Steven chipped when he was a baby.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

I think they've actually said in the newest Steven Universe promo which one the half hour episode is, but I could be wrong.

Seeing as there's finally a good quality version of it up Here's the new promo for this week's batch of episodes Warning spoilers ahead.

But then again, given that both CN and the crew are making no efforts of hiding it, its very likely that that is probably gonna be the least spoilery thing to happen in that episode..

If anything they're making a pretty big effort to get people to notice it. There's like 4-5 official clips as well as the commercial.

Maybe it's going to end up with Jasper beating the C Gs to a lot of corrupted Gems until she has an army of her own, and Steven has to learn to un-corrupt enough Gems (or just convince them) to fight Jasper's army.

Or maybe she's going to form a giant fusion monster, bigger than Beach City itself! And they'll have to beat it, Shadow of the Colossus style.

Also, Pearl's going to have a trident, if the new promo's anything to go by.

I feel like I should this old post I made is more relevant than ever.

But then again, given that both CN and the crew are making no efforts of hiding it, its very likely that that is probably gonna be the least spoilery thing to happen in that episode..
An ad on twitter for the CN Anything app also says the same thing as the promo.

Must. Resist. Temptation. To click. Video. Must. Avoid. Spoilers.

Seriously though just going to youtube already spoiled me on the big surprise, since I saw a thumbnail with the spoiler right there in the middle. Didn't even have to click on the video.

I'm glad we're dealing with corrupted Gems again. So many early episodes had such a heavy focus on them, (are the Heaven and Earth beetles corrupted Gems?) but for a while there they were completely absent from the show. It's almost felt like they had been forgotten about. Glad to see that isn't the case.

So if Cluster Gems are equivalent to necromancy, is what Jasper's doing here taking advantage of the mentally ill?

You know, because Jasper is terrible garbage.

So, I'm fairly certain this is the first time Jasper has left an episode of her own free will.

This comment made me realize that, in a roundabout way, Lapis did give Jasper the opportunity to fly again.

You know, briefly.

Until she hit the ground.

Hah, that reminds me, I saw a post arguing that Jasper is obviously a terrible sack of shit because she poofed some innocent corrupted Gems. And I was like.... what exactly did you think Pearl was gonna do with them? Keep them as pets? :/

Ugh, I haven't seen that post, but I knew the instant Jasper poofed that gem that someone would turn that into a post. Now I'm upset to know I was right.

Connie as Velma? My favorite Steven Universe character as my favorite Scooby Doo character? I love that!

[up]x4: What was funny about that post was that the person posting it had the same icon as someone else who had reblogged something defending Jasper and how Jasper's treatment in Steven Universe made them pretty uncomfortable, so I was super confused. I was like, "You literally just reblogged something defending Jasper, why are you suddenly attacking her now?" Then I realized my mistake. Icons are confusing.

[up][up]Or she heard the titanic racket of Jasper wrestling that gem monster to the ground to rip its stone out.

[up]Amethyst as Scooby is amazing, because it just seems like the actual Scooby is there until you notice the gemstone.

Honestly though, I was impressed with what Jasper did. Ripping the gem out wouldn't actually hurt it anymore than any other method of poofing a gem. You're just disrupting it's form by separating the gem from the hard light body. It's efficient and smart.

It does seem more likely to damage the stone.

Though they were almost definitely other jaspers, and Jasper has shown herself as nearly impossible to poof.

Awwwwww, Connie's back! Little piece of sunshine is back to do nerdy things.waii

Damn, she's already planning for the apocalypse. And Steven's thought about the upcoming invasion so much he's considered human civilization taking a knock back. Yeesh.

I dunno if anything I think it'd be safer on the stone than tossing them against a rock or something.
