at least you got to get yours in
moved to Oceanstuck because this handle was starting to bother me my tumblr"Watermelon Steven" explains a later episode. I saw the one where the Lapis/Jasper fusion resurfaces and an island full of weird watermelon-people help bring her down. Now i understand where those people came from.
Also gathered that this was the same island from "Island Adventure."
Now Island Adventure was an interesting episode because of how easily (relatively) Sadie took down that gem monster, suggesting that aside from The Masquerade humanity might not need the Crystal Gems to protect them.
Of course, this isn't the kind of show that gets into that worldbuilding, but it's still something that often goes assumed in speculative fiction, that muggles are helpless against the supers of the setting.
Sorry to barge in on the thread, but was recommended this elsewhere, gave it three episodes, saw nothing special and forgot about it. Then was recommended it again, and again but I dismissed it as the standard hype for better than average western animation. And then I was recommended it again.
So I decided to pop in here and ask if there's a relative consensus on when this show gets good. Understanding the subjective reality of good, I'm not looking for a hard episode number, but some vague idea would be good. How many episodes should I give this before making my mind on it?
12 was the episode i got sucked in at
so 12

Also yeah, the obligatory 12, then 17, and 25-26. That doesn't mean skip ahead though, as others said there's important scene-setting and foreshadowing.
17 is the big indicator of the plot and is a critical episode, and the two-parter "Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem" is when the payoff is rewarded.
Pearl was helping Gregory fix the van...Amethyst tagged along because it was her room, and Steven tagged along because he was already pestering Amethyst about that online test.
