Doomer!Connie reminds me of how morbidly hilarious it would have been if all life on Earth was wiped out by technology the Crystal Gems never noticed humans developed.

[up][up]GARNET: Alright everybody; this is it. This is our last stand. If we don't stop Yellow Diamond here, everything we've worked for will have amounted to nothing. If we want to save the Earth, then—

CONNIE: Uh, actually, I kind of don't know how to break this to you guys, buuuuuuut the economy just crashed, natural resources have become nearly non-existent, the icecaps have melted entirely thus raising the sea level and making the reversal of global warming nearly impossible, Beach City's started eating itself just to stay alive, and we're all about to go up in flames thanks to oncoming nuclear warheads.

GARNET: ...This entire battle just became completely pointless, didn't it?

CONNIE: I guess. Good thing I payed attention in school! {Heads to the nearest desk and proceeds to duck and cover.}

GREG: Figured it would happen sooner or later. Love you son. {Hugs Steven; ducks and covers.}

STEVEN: You too dad. {Hugs Greg, ducks and covers.}

PEARL: OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODWHATDOWEDOWHATDOWEDOWHATDOWEDO—!!!

AMETHYST: If we're all goin' out, then we might as well go out in style! {Shapeshifts into a nuke and flys towards the warheads with a giant grin on her face.}

PERIDOT: Excuse me, but what exactly is a 'nuclear warhead'? Is it some sort of replaceable head that one can swap in place of their normal head? And why is everyone hiding under the desk?

LAPIS: Eh, whatever. Beats being trapped again for another few thousand years.

GARNET: ...Fuck you all.

{Everything goes KABLOOEY! 'Love Like You' then proceeds to play unironically in the background while the credits roll. THE END.}

[up](After the credits)
Yellow Diamond: At last I can ride the universe of this pestilence of organic... ash?!
Yellow Pearl: Radioactive organic ash.
Yellow Diamond: So it's all gone already?
Yellow Pearl: Well, this planet has vast bodies of water that provided protection for some microscopic life forms to survive.
Yellow Diamond: This is all I get to kill? Things I need a scanners to confirm exists?
Yellow Pearl: Well, even the first time we came here, the total mass of most of the planet's lifeforms came from exactly such beings.
Yellow Diamond: They're still boring to kill. Are there any other options?
Yellow Pearl: Well, we could wait a few billion years until the radiation fades and multicellular life springs up again.
Yellow Diamond: ... Sure. Fine.

She misses sharing a head with Lapis (also: possibly a masochist).
Not really? I check through her dialogue in that episode, and Jasper only talks about how awesome it was to "bigger and stronger".

[up][up][up] I definitely got masochistic vibe from Jasper there, or at least I can understand why someone would see it that way. Not in the sense of enjoying being hurt itself, but in the sense of enjoying the abandon of a hurtful situation while denying the fact that it's hurtful in the first place.

It's why the comparison to her being a drug addict makes a lot sense.

That also precludes any hypernova gammarays not frying us to bits within a few tens of thousands of years. Admittedly, that last one is actually fairly unlikely as it needs to be directly within our direction by a matter of a few degrees, so we might dodge that one.

Either way, the loss of a stable atmosphere only gives us 100000000 years before the Earth's uninhabitable, so we need to get to work on a Martian colony.

When I kept seeing people say Jaspee was acting all different in this episode, I actually thought it was like a significant difference.

But it was just a Smug Gem, still...those teeth, my gosh.

I love they use an actual piano in the show's music. Same with strings. Gives the bgm a lot more punch than midi.

In terms of motif, it's one of the most well thought out soundtracks I've heard. Particularly in my case I can tell who's onscreen just by the instrument that tends to pick up.

I love that every Gem has their motif, and it stays with them. Nobody else uses piano as consistently as Pearl, Garnet has her low synth bass, Amethyst has drum and bass, Peridot has a triangle wave synth, Ruby and Sapphire have bass and keyboard, Lapis has her own unique melody either played on piano or music box, Jasper has her dark, thick gritty bass and a military march, and Steven has chiptune.

So if anyone has heard the term "Radio Silence", but didn't understand the point of it, Pearl's call over the walkie talkie is a perfect demonstration of one reason.

To be fair, they never said they were going to maintain radio silence.

#36941: Aug 2nd 2016 at 4:52:09 AM

[up]I know, I'm saying they should have started Radio Silence as soon as they realized it was nearby.

They also broke their promise to call Pearl as soon as they found the monster. I would honestly say it's more their fault than hers.

Wasn't Pearl's checking in the reason the monster attacked them?

[up]Yes, but that wouldn't have happened if Steven and Connie had called as soon as they found the monster (like they promised) or turned their radio off when trying to sneak up on it.

To be fair, while he should've tried to turn it off before approaching, he tried to turn it off shortly thereafter. If only it had a button instead of a knob.

I agree with Pearl's assessment. Not perfect, but they're not hurt and Connie did fairly well.

Also it's Connie's first time seeing Jasper.

I imagine having your Gem ripped off your body must be unimaginably painful. Also, I'm REALLY bothered that Jasper appears to deliberately be going after other Jaspers.

It's a good thing Jaspee pities the weak...they would've been wasted if she took the time to fight them.

This makes me think Quartz types aren't particularly likely to be violent as some people assumed. These two were just chilling out and being majestic for the last five thousand years.

[up]Pities? She's disgusted by weakness.

Pearl, Stephen, and Connie are no match for the "Jasper" gem...even as a combo team.

Pities was the wrong term, my mistake.

Actually...considering how much she hates Stephen's organic guts, isn't it a bit out of character that she didn't fight them?

Seemed more like Jasper had a "Neh, neh, I have these, and you can't stop me" kind of attitude.
