So the TV refused to show "Future Boy Zoltron" and instead reran "Bubbled," meaning I had to go online and watch, *le gasp!* a leak.

Fair enough. I do wonder if he'll ever show up again.

Pretty nice piece of filler. Garnet was convenient, but I don't really mind. Plus, I liked the Lars and Sadie appearance. I'm not a Lars hater, but he wasn't an exaggerated jerk like usual. Just a lazy jerk of smaller proportions.

Considering there's already TONS of lesbian subtext on this show, its about time there was some for a male gay couple.

Also I've seen a lot of people joking that Mr. Frowny looks like a depressed Neil Gaiman. [lol]

For some reason I thought Paul Mc Cartney, even though I don't think Paul ever looked like that.

I dunno why, but Mr. Frowny sounds like David Bowie to me.

Embarrassing secret don't tell anyone, I thought Mr. Frowny would turn out to be Greg's estranged British, not-bald brother. This way makes more sense.

Too bad for any potential shipping he had to get on that there bus and we hardly ever see Mr. Smiley so who knows about Mr. Frowny. Maybe if we're lucky decent fanfics will be writ.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

Wait, the British guy was Brian George? I knew he sounded familiar but that's not who I would've expected. Man that guy has great range.

Can't wait for the Onion Arc. You think the show's gone through Cerebus Syndrome now...We haven't seen anything yet.

That'd be a great troll episode...as long as they get it across as a joke as soon as possible.

[up]Notice how they're always on-screen at the same time.

It's nice to see a new character on the show, even a one-off. Last one was Bismuth ten episodes ago, and the ruby squad (if you count them as new) twenty episodes before that.

Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one who saw Neil Gaiman with Mr. Frowny. I like his design so I hope he comes back.

Anyway Garnet showing up and giving Steven a smooch was really adorable, but I'm worried that her future vision is making her into more of a walking plot mover who sometimes dispenses words of wisdom and punches things than a character in her own right.

Isn't that what she already was?

Or is she just not displaying enough personality recently?

It feels like they're leaning a little too heavily on her future sight ability. Granted it mostly shows up in the lighthearted episodes so it's not like she has plothax but she always just conveniently knows things or is there to help shoo the story along.

Anyway regarding the shippy undertones does anyone think it comes off a little one-sided? The subtext is pretty damn blatant on Mr. Frowny's side, but not nearly as much with Mr. Smiley's that it could be chalked up to Does This Remind You of Anything? parallels. Though there's still a few lines from Smiley which also come off that way too.

[up][up][up]Yeah, Garnet and steven will always be cute, but sometimes I wish garnet would show a little more of... personality (?); I don't know, maybe by making an episode where she's the one getting help froms others?

You know something? Even before none of the outcomes steven saw with future vision were good, I actually thought that Mr Frowny personality was going to make steven depressed... and other thing, after all the things that have happened to him I'm actually surprissed Mr Smiley is still able to tell others to "take things with fun".

Also, I never noticed that Mr Smiley had beaver teeth...or at least they weren't as noticeable as in this episode.

His teeth were always like that...but apparently, someone decided to draw a line there to make it more...obvious, I guess.

I just found out Mr. Smiley used to be voiced by Sinbad in season 1. That explains why Mr.Smiley always seemed familiar, and him being a stand up comedian in this episode. Guess it's a Mythology Gag.
