x5 Mang, that would make for a hilarious troll ending.

She was a defensive powerhouse medic, that's a pretty powerful combo.

Because this Rose's abillities are based on The Power of Love, which I doubt Homeworld would make a regular thing.
Well, if other gems powers are controlled by emotions we haven't seen many that are restricted by it aside from Steven. Lapis has no problem using her powers when she feels different emotions. And I'm not sure Peridot's powers are based on emotion at all.
The only other ones I can think of are Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby's feet lighting on fire when she's angry / excited, and Sapphire freezing things, when she's feeling...I'm not sure it's hard to tell with her.

Emotions cause unintentional use of powers is all those scenes showed.
Stephen is the only one who relies on emotional control.

I didn't say Rose's powers weren't controlled by emotions. They clearly state they were. I'm saying it doesn't seem to limit the powers of any of the other gems, when their emotional state changes. You'd think we'd see other gems powers fail more often because of their emotions changing if that were the case.

Impulsiveness isn't an emotion. It's when you act based on your emotions. Neither is concentration or discipline, really.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected her to do...
I wonder if HW has college.

There's being vague to maintain a sense of mystery, and then there's knowing literally nothing about them aside from their names and that they're, in one way or another, the Big Bads. I don't think White Diamond has even been mentioned by name yet. When you don't know what they're fighting against, you don't get a sense of urgency or tension. With Jasper, the threat is there because it's in their face. But it seems like even she's completely forgotten that she works for an intergalactic empire that our heroes have no chance of fighting in their current state.
The show might even thrive on something vague. It could be something as simple as "Yellow was our strength, White was our intelligence, Blue was our restraint, and Pink was our heart." Show a portrait of each, and you have your Big Bads (and Big Good) established. Not knowing anything about the villain(s) can only work if all of the main characters don't know anything about them. But one set of questions to Pearl or Garnet (or even Greg) can get Steven and the audience all of the backstory they want. I guess what I'm saying is that any answer at all, vague or not, is better than acting like there's no question to ask.
Jeez, I wrote a bit of a rant.
"The cruelest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't." -Ben "Yahtzee" CroshawThe reason why we're not getting info on them is pretty simple, they're not important to the plot yet. They're not a threat to Earth right now so I don't see the point in the show talking about them until they become relevant. Steven Universe episodes are 11 minutes, they have other things that the creators want to focus on and things that are more important in show at the moment.
Yeah, I think that has always been one of the shows weak-points.
Like, it's a bit mitigated by the fact that the Crystal Gems obviously don't like talking about it, but other times things don't come up because it seems like Steven just has no interest in them or never thinks to ask, which makes no sense in his position.
Like, he had to be told that the Gems originally invaded Earth, something that should have been blatantly obvious to him with everything that he's gone through.
