I knew she wasn't going to last after this episode, but I'm glad she wasn't shattered.

So wh did they keep he bubbled?

Damn Rose really was something.

She has mellowed very much since.

I didn't think this series had the guts to go so far as to "kill" off the new guy. i hope they stop Yellow soon.

[up][up]Because she's still a crystal gem. She just needs to learn how to be more like Rose.

Is it weird that "Steven vs Amethyst" affected me significantly more than this episode? Maybe it was all the hype surrounding this one.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Also, I can't think of any way to end that with her shattered that wouldn't have been a step too far tragically.

We've known Rose was full of secrets forever now. But, yeah, I hope/am sure, this isn't the last we'll see of Bismuth.

She probably didn't think the others could handle the truth.

I think Rose probably has trust issues. Her not telling even her closest friends/soldiers a lot of important things points to some kind of trust problems on her end.

A little, yeah. But I'm assuming you have a bigger attachment to Amethyst than the new guy, so it makes some amount of sense.

I'm glad that Breaking Point is no more.

Imagine a scenario where that... THING was used on Big Buff Cheeto Puff. Considering the placement of her gem and all... eeegh.

I think it's more that she didn't know how to share what she felt was an enormous personal failure and the loss of an ally with her friends, and ultimately just couldn't do it. She indicated before that underneath her wise exterior she hated herself for a lot of her choices.

So am I the only one wondering exactly how much it took for Rose to bubble Bismuth? Did she do it shortly after Bismuth explained the weapon, or did they end up coming to blows like she did with Steven? The fact that Bismuth took a fighting stance when she was unbubbled implies that she knew what Rose was going to do.

Seriously what the fuck is Lion?

The fact Bismuth was in it means it must have been around for who knows how long.

I find it hard to believe no Homeworld gems were killed during the war. Or else you'd think the Crystal Gems would be so massively outnumbered by the ever-regenerating Homeworld gems the rebellion would have been crushed.

Bismuth seems almost like the Qilby of this show. A radical, who went too far, and was sealed in a pocket dimension. Pretty much the exact same set up all around actually.

I'm sure Rose had her reasons, but yeah, that was shady as hell of her to do, honestly. Rose sure did have a lot of secrets...
The episode seems to imply they ended up fighting in exactly the same way as Steven did. Or rather, in a worse way. She implies she tried to get Rose to shatter her with the breaking point at some point in their original fight.

I think the reason Rose didn't tell them was just out of weakness mostly. Steven doesn't know, what Bismuth meant to them. But Rose, probably didn't want them to see her in that light.

I'm pretty sure Rose and Bismuth fought as well.

Ahhh I don't know what to think.

So Rose refused to shatter Homeworld gems, but almost her entire army was either shattered or corrupted because of that. So I can't see Rose as the moral victor here. Does her inability to keep gems on her side from getting shattered because of her moral view make her better or worth than Bismuth? And without a doubt the Diamonds deserve to get shattered.

[up][up]She made it sound like they fought, but later dialogue indicates that she doesn't actually know exactly what happened before she got poofed.
