So, it might have been overlooked by some because of the ending, but the Crystal Gems have a commandeered space ship now. Wonder how long it'll be before we revisit some stuff from Space Race?
Someone apparently asked at comic con about why Pearl wanted to show Steven space, when Homeworld wouldn't exactly be friendly to them, and they said they can't say because of spoilers. So it's probably going to come up again at some point.

She could've just shown him places that weren't conquered by HW.
And any gem not in the war isn't likely to recognize a random gem appearing on a planet somewhere...Pearl maybe able to blend in.

I don't have a source. It was quoted in this thread from what I remember.
Edit: I found it.
It was asked pretty early on in the Q&A I guess.

No swayed opinions on this train of thought.

Heck it's not even the third time.
Poor freaking kid, this whole season's like the span of a month, and he's had to confront a mass of melded psychic screaming voices in his head, help a friend cope with ptsd and the concept of freedom, having increasingly conflicted thoughts on his mom/prier life, let his maternal and father figures have a painful emotional confrontation so they could grow from the experience, messed with his human friends with good intentions and misuse of his new powers he's still trying to grasp, learns to dislike someone on a personal level and work through feelings of sexual harassment, reunited and tried to cure an old friend and only partially succeeding while learning of her backstory and insanity, encounters an even harsher example of sexual harassment crossed with mutual abuse, a trusted friend admitting feelings of stockhom syndrome and self-hatred, sees his sister figure get beaten the crap out of twice and helps with her and his own self-worth issues that haven't gone away, learns that his mother had done necessary crimes in the war and is forced to bubble a new friend because she's gone off the deep end and refuses to let someone suffer a fate worse than death, sees an enemy become corrupted and refuse his help, has confirmation that his mother shattered a Diamond, nearly dies in space yet again, ejects an enemy into space because again they can't be reasoned with, and not only that she's done the shattering for what might very well be the greater good, but that the line between good and doing what's right is very thin indeed.
All at the age of 14.
I'm going to respond in more detail to a previous post.
Jasper and Eyeball are the two gems so far that Steven's negotiations couldn't get close to reaching. For both, it's because they're too obsessed with avenging Pink Diamond. That obsession comes from a view that Pink Diamond is flawless, which they probably have without ever knowing her well, if at all. Now that she's dead, I don't see how that's gonna change unless they find a whole bunch of notes from her that say "Jasper and Ruby (Facet 1F4 Cut 4ND), you were always garbage."
Let's consider the most positive, platonic version of Bismuth's ultimate goal: shatter the Diamonds with a minimum of any other casualties. Forget the chaos from governmental collapse, on an individual level you'd had a huge portion of the population losing any purpose in life except revenge.
Conversely, Peridot and Sapphire both defected after seeing what a bunch of petty, selfish jerks their Diamonds really were. But if the Crystal Gems had somehow shattered Yellow Diamond before Peridot met her, I think she would have let herself be killed by the Cluster if it meant them going down with it.
The Crystal Gems or Steven in particular may be forced to shatter the Diamonds eventually, but I think they'd need to discredit their Cult of Personality first. It would be even more important now, as there's no army that could stop even a small fraction of Homeworld from take revenge on Earth.
That naive optimism is such a pest...it must be broken, broken even harder by something even worse than anything he's seen before.
Maybe we'll see a planet get blowed up...if only HW had that kind of fire power they wouldn't have had to resort to doing things the old fashioned way.

◊ and after some extensive testing with chip music and various video game soundtracks, concluded it is the visual version of "Guile's Theme goes with everything". Really, go find any piece of music, wait for the melody to kick in, and let the magic carry you away...
KK is not aired yet...you watched a leak.
