All are equally likely, but only because that they don't contradict canon and I don't think we'll ever even get any hints as to the Diamonds' origin.

I really don't think that an origin for the Gem race is part of Sugar's plan. Actually, how far do you think she and the crew have plotted things out for? What season do they plan to be the final season? I kind of think saving the origins of the Gems may be something to save in case you end up having a Grand Finale, then need to make a Post-Script Season.

They'd have to...we're always learning about the past, that's it's impossible that it isn't already planned out.

I was hoping for Lapis or evil Peridot, but he's good too. Once the new wave is released later this year, I'm collecting as many as I can until I get the homeworld trio, Amethyst, and at least one of Lapis' water clones.
Going back to that concern that the show will end at season five because it hasn't been renewed for a new season yet, I have the numbers to show that that is bullcrap.
Yes, evidence suggests
the "renewal" from last March was really just reorganizing existing episodes
. But the two actual renewals before that, in July 2014 and July 2015, were so huge that they haven't been used up.
I assessed this numerically by making a countdown of days until a "necessary renewal" date. As a dire estimate, I set the starting date to be that of first renewal, right before the show's premiere. From there, every renewal caused the countdown to be increased by a number of days, where I estimate each episode to be worth ten days. Here are the results.
Long story short, don't worry about another renewal until at least May 2017.
The show's been pretty successful, right? I'd wager that if it ends, it'll be because the Crewinverse is ready for it to end.
Oh God! Natural light!@dude: I seriously doubt they don't have an origin for the diamonds in mind. Not when the show has been so meticulous about world building and foreshadowing. Whether or not it ends up coming up is another question entirely.
I also wonder whether we might see aliens other than gems.

If it doesn't, then they don't have one...stuff like that isn't worth skipping.

I actually have had a theory that humans happen to be the only other intelligent life out there, or at least the first the Gems had come across, or the first that they didn't get to genocide.
It would play straight into Humans Are Special.

"The cruelest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't." -Ben "Yahtzee" CroshawIf it wasn't for corruption gems looking like mutant Earth creatures, I'd say that the Gems can be whatever alien you want them to be...all the alien you need.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.That's actually fairly realistic, if you take Apes or Angels
into account:
Why? Consider the history of Planet Earth. Let the height of the Empire State building represent the 5 billion year life of Terra without Man. The height of a one-foot ruler perched on top would represent the million years of Man's existence. The thickness of a dime will represent the ten thousand years of Man's civilization. And the thickness of a postage stamp will represent the 300 years of Man's technological civilization. An unknown portion above represents "pre-Singularity Man", the period up to the point where mankind hits the Singularity/evolves into a higher form/turns into angels. Say another dime. Then they leave Terra to go to better things. Above that would be another Empire State building, representing the latter 5 billion years of Terra's lifespan without Man.
If you picked a millimeter of this tower at random, what would you most likely hit? One of the Empire State buildings, of course. So, assuming only one civilization develops on a planet, chances are the first-in-scout starship Daniel Boone will discover mostly planets that are currently empty of alien civilizations (but they might have an almost 50% chance to discover valuable Forerunner artifacts or other paleotechnology).
If you only use the section with an alien civilization, you have a ruler and two dimes worth of apes and angels, and a postage stamp edge worth of near Human civilization. If you pick a millimeter at random chances are you ain't gonna pict the edge of the postage stamp. Ergo: apes or angels, but not men.
So according to TV guide and Zap2it, it looks like there's no new episode next week, and the show's timeslot will be taken over by new We Bare Bears episodes. Looks like we're in for another hiatus.
GUNDAMU GUNDAMUAt least something good came out of this.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I had originally theorized that the first time they had ever encountered sentient life was on Earth, and that discovery was what kickstarted Rose's rebellion.
Of course, now that there's a strong implication that Rose was created on Earth, that doesn't really hold water anymore.

Also that.
Gems came early enough in human history that it wouldn't be impossible for them to simply not realize humans were anywhere near as intelligent as gems.
That said, the fact that Gems are so militaristic means they almost have to have encountered other life, since it doesn't seem like they're nearly as prone to infighting as humans are.
The Gems conquer star dust, for it is very deadly ya see.

Unrelated and not very important, but I'm buying an SU little tiny vinyl figure thingy. Not Pop, but by the same people. Will post pictures when I find out what I got.
I'm gonna be buying a shit ton of these later this year when they release the new wave with Jasper, holo pearl, tiny Peridot, and all the various water clones.
