Sigh. Well at least I can say I gave the show a fair chance and a try. It was nice posting here while it lasted. Now I'll just go back to lurking and drawing random Connie pics.

If you only watched episodes from the first half of season 1, then I'd say you should watch an episode or two from the second half or season 2 before giving up on it. Consensus says that "Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem" is where the show started Growing the Beard.

If you already did that, and you're still don't find it entertaining, then I'd say you have every reason to not want to watch it further.

From the sound of it, they don't appear to b interested in the Gem stuff.

I've got a problem.

I can't stop watching this. The way Garnet moves and fights in this sequence is excellent. I don't know if this shares staff from AT but the way they can infuse musical lyrics into things is unreal.

I loved Adventure Time, and unfortunately stopped watching TV so I've mainly followed it and Steven Universe through clips, perfectly legal means, and word of mouth. I've heard a number of good things about Rebecca Sugar, who supposedly wrote some of the more emotional and musical episodes of Adventure Time, but I never really checked.

I've seen the first episode of SU and part of the episode where the ballerina Gem (Amber?) was mourning the loss of her friend (?). [down]So it seems like this show, too, does that slow build-up from silly premise to awesome to tearjerking episode quality.

Is there anything else I should know?

Just know that it's a bit of a slow burn in the beginning. Everything up until around episode 25 or so is world building and character setting.

Don't skip any of it though, lots of seemingly innocuous things end up being big hints or so on later.

And don't let the high episode count of 25 put you off, episodes are 12 minutes long.

Oh really when?

I'm surprised there hasn't been an Amber. Right up there with Emerald for the obvious skips so far.

Today was "issues episodes" day. Watched the one where Amethyst keeps poofing and reforming as we see more of Amethyst's self-worth issues crop up. Then the one where Pearl teaches Connie swordfighting and we get to see *her* self-worth issues about not being over Rose Quartz.

Skipped over "Say Uncle." I'm curious to see it, as i love official crossovers, but i figured it would just be a distraction.

It could totally be canon. He's *everyone's* uncle and grandpa, including people from parallel realities.

I've been thinking, what's going to happen in the rest of season four? Surely they have to introduce a new antagonist. I mean, the show does its Slice of Life episodes well, but sooner or later, Chandler's Law has to kick in, right?

Uncle Grampa is totally cannon

> Surely they have to introduce a new antagonist

I've been saying this for awhile now,without a good villain to keep the gems on the their toes the show gets less interesting although it does mean they can move on to other kinds of interesting things

Rebecca Sugar said in an interview that the main focus of season 4 is "learning you don't need a relationship to be loved". So odds are we'll see a long character arc involving someone who feels they have to be fused, but learn to be happy by themself, because other people still love and care about them.

Yeah, Jasper's the obvious candidate for learning to embrace their own self-worth without necessarily being in a relationship. That's another good message to learn, that if you love yourself, you don't necessarily need a romantic partner to justify your existence. I can't see her in anything resembling a stable relationship, at least not for the foreseeable future.

Also as an aside, this song's perfect for Pearl, and that her va is singing is just icing on the cake. Plus, Hamilton.

[up]Or that, in order to realy have a relatioship that works, you need to love yourself first, otherwise yoy may hate others.

Also, I really want a Jasper-Pearl episode, consider both view of Rose and PD, that would be jucy as hellevil grin

Now a question: what gem you do expect to see soon? for some reason I imagine a Jade who for some odd reason will be doubt by asian women, not real reason for it, just gut feeling

Citrine is yellow, isn't it?

1) Chrysoprase. My favorite before Monster Reunions. Explains the banding and thick quartz hair.

2) Maw Sit Sit: When Steven asked for her name she goes "gargle click click" indicating the last two syllables of her names are either similar or identical. Has a similar color scheme but lacks banding

3) Nephrite: Bismuh named-dropped taking over a Nephrite's ship. Centipeetle was a ship-captain with her crew of similar Gems all working on the ship. Nephrite is one of the two minerals commonly identified as Jade, which fits the Gems, solid green coloration.

I don't believe Emerald to be likely as popular as that is in fan theories. Her gem isn't drawn like a transparent or translucent Gem.

Watched the episode with Sardonyx, and now i finally understand what Garnet was mad about in the "square pizza" episode that caused her to fall apart.

I've got to learn these names eventually.

Finally...[question mark]

I think they stressed the problem Garnet was so mad about in the "square pizza" episode.
