I still say Jasper's gonna have something happen to give her a heel-face turn. That fucking Comic-Con poster still makes me question why she was on there with all the other Gems (sans the Diamonds and their Pearls).

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I liked that episode. Finally learned more about Jasper. She definitely still believes in Homeworld's "every gem has to follow their purpose" rule. She's a determinator. She doesn't think there's any point to life other than fighting. She lives in a pineapple under the sea with her pet Ocean Jasper.

New theory time: Amethyst betrays the gems and joins Jasper's army in order to get stronger in Beta. She eventually gets pulled back to the gems, but becomes the one to kickstart Jasper's redemption because of her time spent with her.

Huh, I expected Jasper to try fusing with the corrupted Gems, and get corrupted herself. I guess she's not nearly that desperate/stupid. Guess we'll see how things turn out for her.

Anyway, looks like we're about to tackle Amethyst's issues head-on now. Looking forward to this upcoming arc, but I wonder how Bismuth fits in. Perhaps the return of one of the original Crystal Gems makes her feel inadequate...

Also, Stevvonie fight scene! Awesome!

[up] Interesting idea. I have a feeling that such an arc would get certain fans upset, though...

Still, it'd definitely allow for some interesting material with Jasper, so I'm all for it.

I feel like there's a 75% chance Jasper will stop trying to kill them if she learns that "Rose" isn't really Rose. But then there's a 75% chance that would just make her want to kill them even more, so.

Probably just an army to defeat "Rose". Jasper seems to have a one track mind.
All she'll have to do is watch Steven from the ocean, until he's alone without Connie. She can't be with him all the time.

Even without "Rose" Jasper hates them plenty already.

I actually kinda of like that Jasper's chacter arc post de-fusion is pretty much "screw my mission, I'm going full Blood Knight"

I feel like this episode gave Jasper the most screentime this season. grin

[up] Same, actually. It's like what smokey said, she believes her purpose is nothing more than just fighting, since that's what Jaspers are made for, so that's all she's gonna do, since that's all she can do. Kinda interesting to see how Homeworld's teachings have shaped her, just like how they shaped Peridot.

An Amethyst betrayal arc is looking a bit more likely to me. They just need to exploit her insecurities. Possibly lie about making her form perfect.

If that's the case, will she get a tacky villain outfit during her spell?

I'm betting Jasper will basically say "you're a Quartz, you're meant to be strong. I may not be able to make you big, but I can teach you how to fight. You can prove that you're better than them. You can prove you're a real quartz. You just have to follow me."

The thing about Jasper is you can't tell if she's crazy or just hyper-focused.

She's practically made out of fury.

I'm starting to think that maybe Amethyst is going to start to feel the pull of the Dark Side the temptation of feeling powerful, and is at least going to consider a Face–Heel Turn.

Also, I've been waiting since "Alone Together" for Stevonnie to fight, and it was everything I had hoped for! grin

It was nice to see Jasper on screen for more than one minute (literally), as well as some character development. Although, it seems a bit...abrupt to have her focusing on building an army and fighting "Rose" instead of, say, trying to get back to Homeworld. Maybe they just haven't gotten across just how power-crazy she's become.

Still, "Oh, you didn't need me at all..." really made this my second-favorite episode of the Steve Nuke.

Would Jasper really want to fuse with someone she regards as a weakling though?

Oh wait, she's addicted to fusion. Nevermind then.

I mean, she wanted to get Steven back to Homeworld at first because Rose.

But then the ship blew up and so she wanted to get big and smash them all and that's why Malachite happened.

And her motivations haven't really changed since then?

Except for the part where Malachite became a motivation in herself, really.

She doesn't have the option of being picky right now. Plus Amethyst is still a quartz. Any fusion with her is going to be strong.

A great episode marred by some awkward animation, like Amethyst's facial expressions, Jasper suddenly having a freakish Yellow Diamond/Alolan Exeggutor/Whatever Meme neck, and Stevonnie's head being disproportionately huge in one shot.

The first proper Stevonnie fight scene, though, holy shit. And some fun Crystal Gem Depression (TM) to boot!
