It now feels kind of funny how people expected this to be about what Peridot had mentioned in Catch and Release, but then it turned out to be a Thanksgiving special.

To be fair, there's not much space in the temple.

Each of the Temple's rooms are ginormous caverns bigger than my whole apartment. New rooms are created out of nowhere to accommodate fusions. I think there's space.

A nice, but kinda awkward thanksgiving special...

Twas alright, I guess.

Honestly, I can see this episode as being a bit of a base breaker, but aside from the ending portions that hit me pretty hard, I think this episode is more in the middle compared to other episodes. Not bad, but not the highest of quality.

The humor in it was on point though.

As miffed as I am that the Myth Arc didn't advance at all in this episode, I'm a sucker for episodes with all the gems together.

Also Carl is Steven's uncle which amuses me to no end.

Nice to have new episodes again. Now Andy's a bit of a jerk but I like the guy if only because he gives Steven more access to his human side then just Greg as the Gems kinda outnumber him in that regard. I wonder if were ever gonna meet any more extended family members.

Also it never fails to get a laugh out of me just how out of touch the Gems are with humanity. Over a thousand years living among us & they apparently don't even know what marriage is. I swear at some point someone has to sit the Gems down & just give them an in-depth detailed explanation over human culture and biology.

How should I feel about the Gems making light of their history? I didn't think any of them were ones for Gallows Humor.

They dwell on the past a lot, it's actually pretty nice that they can make light of it...despite the harshness of it all.

When Pearl said to raise your hand if you got thanked, I was cringing so much inside. Like that sooo awkward for Andy, geez. Also, I like how they showed Andy as super conservative, but didn't just paint him as a bad person.

What was really interesting to me though, was how Andy seemed to understand that they were from space and that wasn't exactly the problem. His problem was that they were 'illegal aliens'. He's another example of people not being fazed by the fantasy parts of SU's world, but this time from a person who isn't from Beach City. I had previously just assumed the residents of Beach City weren't too surprised about all this weirdness because the Crystal Gems and their temple have been there longer than the city, but that wouldn't apply to Andy.

I find it interesting in the fact they confirmed that Rose & Greg never actually got married. I wonder if Rose ever considered it or was even aware what the concept is. I can assume Greg most likely brought the topic up at some point.

Miffed?! I'm straight-up ticked off that the Myth Arc wasn't even addressed, let alone advanced.

I remember saying when the preview came out that I didn't expect it to be a non-plot episode, and no one believed me, saying there could be something more plot-related or dramatic in the rest of it.

Who's wrong now?

Also, at least Bismuth (the episode and character) advanced the mythology somewhat.

The thing is Rose really couldn't get married. None of them obtained citizenship.

[up] Oh yeah that's true.

We should have an episode where the Gems try to obtain citizenship. Would that be fun?

Upon further thought, Gem Harvest is officially my least favorite episode of the entire show. It's beaten the cat fingers episode.

[up][up] I think that was "Onion Gang".

I do think this one was somewhat underwhelming.

Onion Friend had Vidalia in it, which elevated it by a large degree.

Eh, Vidalia as awesome as she is didn't save that episode to me, still hated it. I actually thought Onion Gang was cute though.

Wait.....yeah, sorry, my bad, "Onion Gang" was boring imho. Onion Friend was incredible, probably one of my top 10 or 15.
