I'm assuming poofed enemy Gems were immediately bubbled & imprisoned.
Whether or not they were executed is prolly something done by the higher ups of the Rebellion in secret so as to maintain the cloak of heroism they possessed.

See, exactly. I'm wondering just how far the show is going to go with presenting idealism as the right choice. I'm wondering if that idealism isn't going to get someone killed because they refuse to kill a Gem, like the Diamonds maybe, who will kill them if they don't.
EDIT: And bubbling someone for thousands of years is a Fate Worse than Death, as Bismuth clearly indicated... So I don't think Rose's Thou Shall Not Kill morals are really so great.

Oissu!I think it's less that no Homeworld Gem ever got shattered in the war as much as people did die, but only uncommonly in the course of the fight - Rose wasn't willing to use a tactic or weapon that could do nothing else but kill and kill some more.
In a world where death is a rare and terrible thing, a weapon that can only kill is like a nuke.

When Bismuth said "...but you knew what happened to me, didn't you?"

Pretty sure she's talking about how Rose knew, and didn't let anyone else know.

I highly doubt the Diamonds will be redeemed. They'll probably end up doing something where they self terminate rather than surrender or something.

I'm going off of that one video that mentions that as a question Steven should've asked the Gems.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Bismuth being hidden in Lion's mane raises some Fridge Logic as to how they don't know anything about Lion. Hope that's explained a little better eventually.

EDIT: I don't like those endings either, they always feel like a cop-out.

Oissu!They don't know about Lion because he was never around Rosey...that's pretty simple. Considering where they found him, he was probably always roaming.

You could say the same thing about using any weapon. The logic really doesn't hold up. Bismuth was saying the same thing and she was clearly not in a good place.
Like, since people keep bringing up nukes, if the US didn't use them against Japan, would that have made any deaths on the American side Truman's fault?

No, but in that time and place, it would've made logical sense.
To give Rose a little benefit of the doubt here, bubbling is still a much kinder fate than shattering. It's terrible, but if she were to say that Bismuth was broken during a battle, it still would've been better than the alternative. Inside a bubble, time doesn't pass for them.
It was either that or a fight to the death. Bismuth refused to compromise. While it would've been better for her to have told her friends, I don't see what else could've been done to stop her.
Okay so...am I the only one who thinks that this episode is a prime example of why this show DESPERATELY needs to change their 11-minute episodes to 22-minute episodes?
Seriously, one of the main reasons why two-parters like Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem, The Return/Jailbreak, Superwatermelon Island/Gem Drill, etc are so beloved is because they feel much more complete in comparison to many of the episodes in the series .
Yeah, you probably are...

Ya know, something about people complaining at how Steven not asking questions that annoys me: the Gems don't even know what Lion is, so why would Steven ask them?
