Some drama just happened...it won't happen just immediately yet so soon.

To an extent, yes. Given what little we know of this Friday's episode.

Is it just a thing that "calm before the storm" episodes are usually kind of eh? Gravity Falls did one last monster-of-the-week episode before the giant finale, and it's usually considered to be one of the worst episodes of the show.

Well yeah,you had the zoo and blued diamond,it makes sense to space out episodes so there's come comedy between the intense drama,still,I'm just wondering if the next episode will be a major drama bomb,it could be the mother of drama bombs with super major stuff being revealed

Edit:I think poor quality of light hearted episodes is down to some kind of directive "You just gotta have a funny this week!Save the drama for next week or people will get bored!" So at times I think it's forced,and as everyone knows,you can't force funny.

I don't think it'll be quite that big, but it'll still be huge. I mean, we have Steven finally asking questions and investigating stuff on his own.

I'm thinking it's like "Lion 3", where the revelaitons are significant but don't directly affect the events immediately following—I'll eat my hat if whatever Steven learns is acknowledged in the next episode.

I don't think "The New Crystal Gems" is supposed to be that kind of episode, "Storm in the Room" seem like it will be the odd one out in the next couple episodes.

Well the episode airing next week is a Ronaldo episode, so at best it'll just give us more fan theories from his ravings.

In retrospect, it's almost conspicuous how much "snatch up humans for a human zoo" sounds like a real theory as compared to word salads like "thaw out the cryogenically frozen pets of the one percent".

If there had been evidence of any Homeworld gems who didn't think that Humans are Insects, it would have even been plausible.

And the thing is, that was all the way back in "Rising Tides/Crashing Skies", way back in season 2, 50 episodes ago.

I wonder how late into production that line was added—I'm guessing storyboard revisions, because Ronaldo is speaking on-screen when he says that. The concepts for Holly Agate were from July 2015 (the month after "Rising Tide, Crashing Skies" aired), so I'm guessing it was a real idea but not a fully developed one.

I'll also point out that some "Hit the Diamond" concept drawings were made March 2015 (four months earlier), despite "Gem Hunt" being 33 episodes (about 11 months of development) later. This further suggests the Zoo was an idea they came up with a very long time ago, but held back to develop and build up to.

I've stopped following the spoiler thread for the time being. If someone else wants to manage the roughdraft pages, make a post with links to the new recap page roughdrafts.

Hey, anyone want to catch up on all of the past Steven Universe episodes in the ever-present practice of reruns in celebration of finally getting a schedule again?

Well too bad, CN is showing absolutely none this week! That single new one on Friday is literally the only episode in this lineup.

Hm, fair point. It's not the "harp on cn" thread, after all.

But still, pertaining to SU, we won't be getting a lot of the show besides one episode a week, at least for now.

We've had multiple hours-long marathons just in the last month.

And reruns are a terrible way to catch up on a show with a Myth Arc.

Could Steven heal the cast of Evangelion?

That depends. He probably could, or at the least make them roughly functional human beings, but it would be more a question of how much time on his hands does he have to dedicate himself to the task.

You know, I have thinking about why I dont like the new crystal games and so far I get it: the episode feel to short to work, like something else should happen but it didnt

[up][up][up]Yeah. Honestly, even the cast of EVA were in the process of recovery, and then the plot decided to crush them. So basically it all depends on what the story decides to throw at them.

Still, it could be an interesting exercise to do a Fusion Fic. Gendo and Greg are almost perfect foils of each other. So are Steven and Shinji. Connie and Asuka. Rose and Yui. Then it gets a bit more square peg round hole: Pearl and Ritsuko? Pearl and Fuyustuki? Amethyst and Misato? Garnet and Kaji? Lilith and Pink Diamond? Jasper and Asuka? Kensuke Aida and Peridot? Lapis and Rei? What about Pearl and Rei?

I'm at a weird place where I saw the leaked clip of the first hundred seconds, where nothing really happens, but not the leaked screenshots. Now I want to talk about the clip, but can't even in the spoiler thread.

This is like one of those times where you're behind on a series, are temporarily unable to catch up further, but can't discuss it in the meantime either.

What's not a spoiler is that I was right that "Storm in the Room" is a Howard and Liu-boarded episode.

Hey guys! Anyone else here keep up with SU liveblogs? I want to make a tropes page for the general SU liveblogger Tumblr community, but I'm not sure whether that would go under "web original" or "blog" or something else.

Currently writing something. Currently procrastinating.
darkabomination Since: Mar, 2012
#46673: Feb 15th 2017 at 5:28:25 PM

I'd put that under web original. Maybe webcomics, if there's enough art being used.

Hope you have a lot of examples to justify such a page.

I just watched The New Crystal Gems

  • So is Lapidot happening now? Like it's not a bad ship I'm just a little salty the Amedot moment before the great hiatus of early 2016 was never acknowledged or even dismissed, it was just... ignored
  • The animation seems a little off-model and the cyan Lapis skin hurts my eyes
  • That was an awesome use of powers
  • dammit
  • oh fucks sake
  • this is another cringe comedy ep
  • Peridot has become really obnoxious
  • THANK YOU CONNIE
  • yeah this was a nice episode, kinda forgettable but not Fusion Cuisine level "I can't watch"
