Most likely they thought she was dead.

So, apparently Ashly Burch (Chloe from Life Is Strange) is gonna have a spot on the show in the future. My bet is that she's playing S.

Burch is also a writer on Adventure Time, in addition to providing a few voices, so this isn't super-surprising.

Yeah I've seen one person say it was abortion symbolism. But what does it simply lying dormant in the earth mean?

I actually heard about that theory before. Granted, it was from a quite hateful article about the show, but I think it's still an interesting theory.

The analogy is that the Cluster represents an unwanted late-term pregnancy that would kill the mother (Earth) if it was born (formed). It's a bit of a moral quandary if you look at it that way. Peridot wants to destroy (abort) the Cluster to save the Earth because she doesn't see any worth to it. But Steven has a reverence for all life, regardless of origin, so he begins to regret trying to destroy it. To him (or at least his subconscious [which may or may not be Rose]), the Cluster doesn't deserve to be destroyed just because it will unintentionally bring harm. So, he finds a middle ground between letting it form and destroying it; putting it in stasis (i.e. bubbling it). It's a pretty fair analogy from my point of view.

The article critiqued it, saying that since that middle ground doesn't exist in the real world, it's sending mixed messages to the audience at best, and advocating pro-life to an extreme extent at worst. So either this is merely someone seeing subtext that isn't there, or a case of Unfortunate Implications on the show's part.

Rewatched "Barn Mates" for the first time in a while. I forgot how seamlessly it moved into "Hit the Diamond."

Lapis has got major depression issues, but she didn't need to be so mean to the poor tape recorder.

The contemptuous way she has her water-hand flick the spaceship is amusing.

Tape recorders stink, mang. They should stay a product of the 90's.

Onion Gang is a pretty good candidate for my least favourite episode. It's just boring.

[up] I'm not a fan of filler, but even I think that's unfair to the episode.

It was cute, had some interesting development for Onion, and showed the show's transition from Summer to Fall.

As a non-plot/non-Gem episode, it's a lot better than some other ones.

It's my favorite Beach City episode so far. It's just really relaxed and cute, without being too dramatic. I like that sort of slice of life.

I liked Squash. A fun name that somehow really fits the design.

I usually don't like the Onion episodes, but Onion Gang I enjoyed, it was really cute.
