Well, after tonight, all of my Top 5 episodes from the show are now officially from this block of episodes.

  1. "Bismuth" (A well-crafted emotional rollercoaster),
  2. "Mr. Greg" (That one song, with its visuals),
  3. "Earthlings" (Multiple new developments, in both story and character),
  4. "Monster Reunion" (Genuinely sad moments with some backstory),
  5. "Steven Vs. Amethyst" (Made Amethyst my new favorite Gem)

Maybe I'm just riding the high of the episodes being new, but they still feel like the show's best episodes so far.

I think Amethyst is gonna be really important to Jasper's recovery too.

Oh really when?

We're pretty much on a strip of some of the best episodes of this show right now.

Just imagine what'll happen after this, though.

It's strange, but as awesome as these episodes have been, they still haven't displaced my favorites. I think it's likely because my favorites happened during season 1, when the show had a slower pace. Now I expect huge emotional moments and big plot drops.

What I'm trying to say is, with as good as these episodes have been, the next ones will no doubt be even better.

[up][up][up][up]Is Steven Universe.
The series will not gonna run out of those moments anytime soon.
Seriously, when you think there can't be more feels and interesting plots in the series, you get even more.
Ocean Gem was sad? Now watch Same Old World.
Was you laughing at episodes like Friend Ship or Marble Madness? Chaching, Catch And Release and When It rains happens.
Did you loved the episode On The Run? Know watch the whole Amethyst and Jasper arc.

Peridot and Lapis

Peridot and Amethyst

Jasper and Amethyst

I'm not a feelzy person. This show is sad done well but it never hits me particularly hard. Certainly never got me close to crying or anything.

So some friends and I were talking and the great AHR

Oh, she is watching? Why isn't she posting here? Her posts are usually good. Though, now I think about it, I don't remember seeing her in the forums lately.

Anyway, about Lion's gem. The easier solution for his lack of gem would be having it hidden in his mane. And I don't mean inside his pocket dimension, just bellow all that fur.

Also, are a lot of you just assuming that Jasper is going to get uncorrupted relatively soon? Because this ending feels to me like something that won't get picked up for a good while and is better that way.

It's...possible, but I'd really be sad if that was the end of Jasper.

At the end, it came across as if she only had someone to show her the love and kindness Rose showed her friends, and that they've shown one another and others she could've been someone better...When the most positive relationship in your life is another Gem fusing with you and binding you below the ocean for months that you develop a borderline BDSM complex about, and later mourn a corrupted, mindless creature running off because everyone leaves you? Suffice to say you may have...some issues about people.

No one is saying that, LSBK is just saying people are getting ahead of themselves, and I agree.

I have this feeling like Jasper will come back sooner than later, but that's probably just because I've gotten used to her frequent appearances. More likely, it'll be awhile before she comes back, but I'd rather wait to see what direction the next few episodes take the plot before I make any guesses.

Yeah, it's not like I expect her to stay like that forever.

Its likely gonna be a while before she shows up again (they'll still need to figure out how to cure Gem Corruption first), but I doubt this is the last we'll see of her.

What seems to be the general reaction to Smoky so far?

I like them, personally, creative design and all. But I've heard from a few friends that they don't like the design, and a thread hop (plus Smoky apparently being leaked) means I have no idea where to look to garner y'all's reaction.tongue

I think Jasper will be Patient Zero for whatever technique the use to reverse corruption. As Steven said she hasn't been corrupted very long and might be easier to reverse because of that.

Smokey Quartz was awesome. Both for everything they did, and because I genuinely never expected Steven to fuse with any of the Gems.

Besides, the future can be misterious and no one can predict that(this tropes aside)


I can almost hear my friend Roberto yelling angrilly due Jasper's current situation.
