I...didn't expect a talk show episode.

I died at "Footage courtesy of Cartoon Network"

This episode just exists beyond the Fourth Wall huh.

I saw a really good Pearl cosplayer today.

And I met Yondu's actor from GOTG. He gave me a hug.

But the Pearl cosplay was ON POINT.

Guys something's wrong with Cartoon Network. Yesterday Steven Universe was usurped by Wile. E. Coyote reruns, and tonight they replaced it with some late night talk show.

Lame Pun and References and past footage "From Cartoon Network" Abound. I would call this the first true filler episode of the series. Or that Uncle Grandpa crossover.

This is probably my favorite "Filler" episode by far.

It's the first time two fusions have actually interacted with one another! And one of them was Smoky! And the other was Sardonyx!

and i really liked how it was played off as its own show cuz they still credited the clips as being from CN

Cool, they put a new preview for the new episodes. It's gonna be cool seeing Stevonnie training.

Idk about calling it filler... the fact that fusions also have rooms is some excellent fandom/possible plot fuel. What is Smokey's room like? Opal's? Sugilite? Malachite??? Expect the fandom to go crazy over this.

[up][up] I mean, sure, but not only is Garnet less a fusion and more her own gem by this point (imo), those interactions only lasted a few seconds. This was a whole episode.

[up][up]I don't think we should assume they all have rooms (especially Malachite...). An episode about making a room could be pretty cool. For Peridot maybe...

[up][up]Pretty much, outside of Garnet and Stevonnie, pretty much none of the other fusions have gotten the main character spotlight untill this one.

I think applying "filler" to anything but anime-original episodes of a manga adaptation is probably a bad idea. Most of the time when people say that they mean "it does nothing to advance the Myth Arc and I personally don't find it interesting", which is a fine opinion, but in the case of SU specifically I feel there's more to the show than the main plot about Homeworld and those parts shouldn't be disregarded as unimportant.

Not that anyone here is guilty of this or anything, my ears just perk up whenever I hear the phrase these days.

-

The episode was great btw, I wanted the interplay between Smoky and Sardonyx and it delivered on that so I have no real complaints.

Yeah I don't actually recall Garnet saying two words to Opal. Though Garnet and Stevonnie count I suppose.

[up] Garnet's only line to Opal was asking about the beetle they were supposed to get.

Wasn't really feeling that episode. Most of the jokes didn't work for me and it got kind of predictable once it got to the game show segment.

"Do we still have to pay her?" and Sardonyx's Freak Out were the highlights for me.

[up]Even then, it's hard to call that 'filler' if it does advance the plot or becomes its own spinoff from the manga, as anime is wont to do.

I was really meh on this episode because I prefer episodes to be Myth Arc related somehow, and this episode didn't even have Beach City resident character development to balance out the 'fillerness' of the plot. I'm also not a fan of Fourth Wall episodes unless the show is deliberately done with Animated Actors, so...

That was a cute episode even if the jokes didn't really land all that well. Nice hearing Minaj's voice again and love that Opal's theme showed up during the bow and arrow section. Also interesting getting more insight on Sardonyx's character, including how her performance artist side can go too far.

I guess this episode also confirms Smokey Quartz is a "they".
