We need a recap episode like The Ember Island Players.
Well, not need, but it would be funny.
Yeah...I was surprised by that too.
"Buddy's Book" is the closest thing to a recap episode we'll be get...
Maybe a Clip Show?
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.My headcanon for now is that the 'gem' race is the result of an advanced civilisation upgrading itself nonstop until they discovered immortality
Converting themselves into light and having gems for bodies ensures they can't ever die,which makes maintaining an empire that much easier (its ideal actually,think of how many empires would have survived had that one person not dropped dead right when disaster loomed)
Of course,the downsides being that conquering other worlds is all they ever do,I can;t imagine their citizens enjoy the endless obsession with war unless they are winning,the rebellon was probably the first war they 'lost'
Steven is technically the only organic gem that we know of

* "will be", for me

One doesn't necessarily have to do with the other. How they came into existence doesn't have to explain why they are the way they are now. It's not "They've always been assholes" it's "Their assholishness isn't because of some shitty creators".

I'm not sure they could even do a competent Recap Episode in a normal episode's runtime. It occurred to me the other day that as continuity-heavy as this show is, it never indulges in Previously on… because it ain't got time for that shit. I'm not sure I could properly describe the show in 11 minutes. It's just that dense with content.
Yeah, they just don't have time to recap, they don't have the need or desire to do so. The fact that they can pack as much content as they do within 11 minutes is precisely because they don't waste time, the show assumes you know what's up and just moves on.
"Full Disclosure" doesn't really work as a recap either. It's more about getting Connie caught up to speed and even then the explanation we here is a super crunched down explanation that sums things up to their absolute essentials.
Admittedly bingeing isn't as easy as it was back when "Jailbreak" was the latest wham, we've got the equivalent of 54 regular episodes now, and you could afford to cut out a third of that if you're being generous.
Heh, we've now officially made it past the Legend of Korra in overall runtime. Not bad, not bad at all.
Milestones, honestly not very surprising...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I consider Know Your Fusion, and Buddy's Book a creative way to do recap episodes on some bits of info without doing a clip show. Mostly they recap information on fusions and locations people might have missed because it happened awhile ago. Like when's the last time we saw the sea spire? Warp tour? Sugilite's appeared more recently, but she only appeared for a moment, and didn't have any lines so she's easier to forget. And the people who didn't see her first appearance would probably be confused about what that was all about.

You know, I really liked Bismuth's leitmotif; that industrial glare that almost sounds like a harmonious scrape.
Me and my friend's collaborative webcomic: Forged Men
Two more, next one is "Last One out of Beach City" supposedly. (I still can't find a correct source on this though) But given all of the conflicting reports I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

One thing I thought was interesting was that they're still making Gems on Homeworld. You'd think it would be tapped out after 6000+ years. If even Homeworld is still being mined out, maybe no planet in the Gempire is "complete" the way Earth was supposed to be.
Gem space could be filled with half-eaten rocks, all but forgotten in the rush for the next planet.
