IF nothing else her range is impressive, I mean I definitely wouldn't think the same woman is voicing Princess Allura too.

I've never had a problem with Jasper's voice, but I think I can see why some might find it overly gruff.

And as great as her last scene in "Earthlings" was, I admit that the way she screamed "PIIIIIIIIINK! DIAMOOOOOOOOND!" was kind of...mood breaking.

Yeah I kind of laughed at that scene. Though it was mostly a recognition about how narmy that line is out of context

Things Jasper has survived:

  • Being repeatedly punched in the head by Garnet
  • Being thrown into a ships power core
  • which then exploded
  • which then exploded again after the ship crashed from orbit
  • Being Malachite
  • Being Malachite being beaten up by Alexandrite
  • water punched by Lapis for miles
  • Power slammed by Stevonnie
  • Smacked around by Smokey Quartz

List of things Jasper hasn’t survived:

  • Peridot with a sharp stick

Just something I saw and found hilarious.

I wonder if corruption directly makes a gem weaker, or that was just because Jasper was corrupted so recently.

Gems generally have varying degrees of durability (considering the next episode)...even corruptions, so it could be the "recent" thing.

Gem durability I think just runs on Rule of Drama and Rule of Funny then any real set scale.

If we put it in Dungeons & Dragons terms, maybe Gems are just more vulnerable to piercing damage than bludgeoning damage.

If piercing damage was more effective, you'd think shrapnel from the exploding power core or the crashing ship would do something.

Well, unless it's directly to a gem, gem bodies are just light constructs. Blunt force trauma can cause internal damage, but compromising the physical form of a gem seems easiest with a stabbing or cutting weapon.

By the way, I like how quickly they've been shattering fan theories. Like after confirming that Rose did something to Pink Diamond, the next episode confirms she shattered her, and then this episode really says "Yes, she actually shattered her, no PD didn't fake her death, no the Ruby wasn't tricked, or any other convoluted theory you've come up with". Very straight to the point, which is unusual for the show, but I really appreciate it here.

Once last thing on Bismuth, I wonder how the criticism is going to effect the Crewniverse and what was there response? It'll be interesting to see how later stories with her go.

Notes on bubbled:

  • The theme tune is a reassurement not just a catchy song I really needed that "and if you think we can't we'll always find a way" to sing to myself at every point in this episode
  • That's not how asteroid fields work
  • It seems Steven can create air and/or breathe in space????
  • STEVEN CAN'T DIE WE HAVE TWO MORE SEASONS TO FILL D: wait never mi—WAIT
  • THIS IS NO FUCKING WAY TO END A SEASON WHAT THE FUCK CREWNIVE— oh?

  • WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS HOW RELIEVED I AM NOW HOLY FUCKING SHIT
  • Hello infodump my old friend

I just assume that Steven's bubble has magic life support.

We already know that he can withstand much thinner air than a full human: 1. could survive at the top of Lapis' water pillar in ocean gem 2. didn't die when all the air was sucked out of moon base in back to the moon

No, he was clearly running out of air when he re-bubbled, he curled up fetal style.

That's the first dark thing on this show.

But he made the bubble like five times as big when eyeball tried to kill him, making the air in the first bubble way sparser

Yes, yes they are. Essentially dead until retrieved by other gems...or slam into a white star.

So do you guys want the other Diamonds to be genuinely grieving over the loss of Pink Diamond, or just concerned over her death as a political manner? Both? Depending on the Diamond?

I don't think the Diamonds are being redeemed, especially after this season, which is all about the people that will not listen to Steven or accept his friendship. Even if it is likely some season 3 antagonists will end up joining the CG, it prepares the audience for other villains not doing so. That does not mean, however, that the Diamonds cannot be well-rounded, complex, emotional villains.
