I've said before that this show feels like it's in between two much more...eventful shows.

That in mind, if the show had a Spin-Off after it ends (or gets cancelled), would you rather watch a show about the first rebellion led by Rose Quartz, or a Time Skip to when the rebellion is heating up again, this time being led by Steven?

Depends on what happens before the end of the series. If we know all the major events of the gem war before the series ends there's not much of a point in doing a series about it. And if the series ends at a good spot, doing a future spin-off could feel like the network is just trying to milk everything they can out of it.

I wouldn't mind an anthology spinoff filling in the gaps of things that happen in the lives of other Beach City residents when Steven's stuff is happening. Like, how did that dance competition go for Buck and the others? How is a day in the life of Mr. Smiley as he's rushing to work all of Funland single-handed? Just what DOES Suitcase Sam do?

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

That sounds more like something for a single Vignette Episode than a whole show, even a short one.

Yeah, I feel like wherever the show's going to end, it'll end on a high note. Maybe it won't realy so much as end as just be a good stopping point, but it'll be on a high note.

I was wondering what a Steven+Pearl fusion would look like compared to the Rose+Pearl Rainbow Quartz, and then a thought occurred:

Are any of Steven's fusion going to change appearance when their components change? Besides changing clothes, that is. Like, will Steven and Connie growing make Stevonnie and/or Smoky Quartz larger?

There was fanart of Stevonnie showing them as being taller than Greg's van if they got older.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Sounds about right. Steven and Connie will definitely grow up to be bigger than Pearl and Amethyst, respectively, so you'd think Stevonnie would end up larger than Opal.

#43337: Sep 17th 2016 at 9:28:04 AM

Not necessarily. Fusion sizes tend to not make much sense, as shown by how two gems (Jasper and Lapis) fuse to be the same size as four gems (Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl).

Stevonnie could be giant 10 years down the line, or they could be about the same size as Rose was. iirc a crew member once said that fusion designs are pretty much just whatever looks best, without any science behind it.

Steven is definitely gonna grow up to be Rose's height.

In my mind.

I think Steven will grow to be taller than Greg, but he'll be shorter than Rose.

As for the episode, Onion crashing through Steven's screen was my favorite part of the episode. I like Onion's little gang, hopefully they'll return next summer. I want a Suitcase Sam episode. Guys with eye-patches tend to have interesting secrets.

As for a spinoff, I wouldn't mind seeing the adventures of Peridot and Lapis traveling the world and learning about humans. I'm bias toward Peridot adventures. When Peridot first crashed I wanted at least one episode with Peridot lost in Canada.

You don't need to guess, because we've already seen Steven as an adult. That's about what size he was.

Fusion sizes tend to not make much sense, as shown by how two gems (Jasper and Lapis) fuse to be the same size as four gems (Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl).
I think Malachite and Rainbow Quartz are a better comparison, because the variables are closer (both two gems of similar sizes).

Regardless, I'm sure Stevonnie will get somewhat bigger because adult Steven was larger than current Stevonnie (overall, if not in height). A fusion's not gonna be smaller than any of its parts, unless one of the other parts is Peridot.

Watched "Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem." I didn't know they'd do the reveal from "Monster Buddies" so quickly, i figured they would have let it lie longer before revealing that the monsters were once Gems. "Indirect Kiss" leads in perfectly by showing that the core gems can crack, cluing you in almost immediately to what the mirror might be. And now some of what i noticed from later in the series makes sense: this is where Steven first met Lapis, this is where Lapis' alias "Bob" came from, and this is how the rest of the plot is kickstarted: Lapis goes to space where she is caught by homeworld or Jasper, and reveals that the rebellion on Earth is still active, leading to Peridot and Jasper being dispatched.

I just wonder what fills the gap between "Ocean Gem" and "Jailbreak."

Mystery girl isn’t just tall, she’s about as tall as Rose was.
Um... no, that doesn't follow. Just because S is taller than Pearl doesn't mean she's ten feet tall. When we've seen Rose near Pearl and Greg she's ridiculously tall. She's like 3 heads taller than Greg, and 2 heads taller than Pearl. She makes Greg look like a baby man. S is only like a head taller than Pearl in that pic at best. And even then this theory relies on the creators being consistent with character heights. Fat chance of that.

Didn't seem unusual to me. It wasn't unusual enough that anyone in the show felt the need to point it out as strange anyway. The only thing they thought was strange about her was her hair. It's not unusual just because she's taller than Pearl. And it's a huge leap to say she's as tall as Rose just because she's taller than Pearl.

Yeah, she's definitely not as big as Rose. Compare Pearl flirting with S to Pearl dancing with Rose in We Need To Talk. S is big, but not that big.

Plus, her being a gem defeats the point of Pearl talking to her. Pearl wanted to socialize with humans, and S being a gem negates that.

Plus, I'm just not fond of theories that go "S/Connie/Onion/Kiki is secretly a gem"
