Yeah, that sounds about right.
I've never believed Rose was evil, but I've always been a big fan of her becoming more morally ambiguous. It wouldn't do for a show partially about celebrating flaws to have a character who was perfect, now would it?
x6 Interesting, but if this was Rose's reasoning for doing what she did she's kind of hypocritical. She encourages choice and yet doesn't allow other gems to choose whether to support her ideals or Bismuth's, she decides to crush the dissent.
Which is not necessarily bad, but it is hypocritical when your side is supposed to be about making your own decisions.

Oissu!At the moment I'm assuming that Rose lying about Bismuth wasn't because it was conveniant for her, but because it was such a horrible turn of events that she had no idea how the others would take it, or even how to confess to them about it.
Still not sure about the other stuff she was apparently keeping secret.
I still feel like Rose shouldn't have completely dismissed the idea of Shatter Point, though. True, the CGs shouldn't use it against all the invading Homeworld armies (like was mentioned before, they could easily be converted to their cause, it's not their fault Homeworld was structured the way it was), but, if the opportunity ever arose, it could be used against the Diamonds.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.If the war ever got to Home World, it could've been used for that.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I don't think the Breaking Point should have been used at all. Not only did it go against the entire crux of Rose's philosophy behind the war, it also would have taken away the Crystal Gem's moral high ground on the war. Once they start to straight-up murder other Gems, it would become easier for Homeworld to vilify the Crystal Gems as a treasonous gang of monsters that needed to be destroyed and that Earth made for bad Gem Growing to create such monsters, and they would have destroyed the planet.
My various fanfics.Also you gotta keep in mind that Bismuth made Breaking Point at a time where Homeworld wasnt more technologically advanced from them.

Also!
I think we know the most important thing about this episode.
Pearl is a size queen.
My various fanfics.Easily...it should've been even easier.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Honestly I expected Bismuth to turn out as a radical. I guessed it before the leaks even happened, so I was ready for that much. But with how well Bismuth got along with the other characters, and her pep talk with Steven, it kind of hit me hard in the end anyway. Probably another reason for that is I don't really know what the best answer was, so I kind of empathized with both sides.
