I listened to Here Comes A Thought and rescind my previous complaint that it was a boring song (tho it still aint It's Over Isn't It).

Please kick me in the face for being wrong at your earliest convenience.

The little rings around them were nice.
What did those gemstones look like when they weren't in someone's body? You say it's a ring, but they could also be covering most of the gem that isn't visible. It also might disappear with the body.

I assume they're a ring because Amethyst still has one in the series, though it's only visible when poofed.

I'm not nearly as familiar with Neil Gaiman as I should be- I thought Frowny was supposed to be Alan Rickman.

Yeah, it's been a busy few days- I'm visiting and doing stuff with my folks so I just now watched the episode and caught up with the thread.

We've had a fair number of flashback episodes but no flashback episode dealing with Amethyst's past. That could be pretty interesting, seeing how they found her and convinced her to join them and the like. And why they were even at her Kindergarten to begin with.

They were looking for other Crystal Gems, remember?

The CGs used to make the Cluster.

Has amethyst gotten any songs before besides On The Run?

I liked her song in "Cry For Help". It was short, mellow and sad. It's my fifth favorite song on the show, below "It's Over", "Do It For Her/Him", "Here Comes A Thought", and "Stronger Than You".

I wish that song was longer. It was a beautiful song, but it felt too short. I feel like if not that she should have gotten a song during the Jasper arc.

[up]The illustrations at the bottoms of the pages remind me of Stellaluna. It's the only other children's book I've seen that does that.

That book certainly would fix someone's only possible gripe with that episode...

Though...being that it's a supplement, it won't get off the hook so easily.

I have no problems.

A criticism on a review I saw of the episode was: how short the passage of time was when Ruby and Sapphire were connecting in a romantic way. It seemed like no time had passed and they felt that kinda ruined Garnet's "no love at first sight" speech in a prior episode, it was a minor criticism though.

Probably that Garnet told Jamie love at first sight isn't how things work, only for The Answer to show that R&S's relationship was kind of love at first sight after all.

I don't know, the point of a montage is to get through things quickly with the implication that a fair bit of time is passing.

it looked like it was awhile before they decided to try and form Garnet again, and even then everything didn't immediately come to them.

Really though, the problem seems to be having to tell the story in eleven minutes. Though, I guess that Ruby and Sapphire's initial reactions are really sudden.

I thought that was the point of the montage, though indeed the passage of time could have been more clear.

Yeah, it was that the passage of time didn't seem clear enough during the montage.

Maybe showing a montage of days passing as they explore Earth would be better.

Since that montage was always at night, what about the phases of the moon?

Went to a con this weekend, saw a decent amount of Stevonnies, Roses, and Stevens (with one mother/son cosplaying Rose and Steven it was so adorable), three Pearls (including a Waitress!Pearl), two Garnets, and at least two Amethysts, a Peridot (hosted a fun SU Jeopardy panel), one Lapis and one Bob. Surprised I didn't see any Bismuth cosplays, but it hasn't been that long since she premiered...
