Actually if you look super closely when Alexandrite defuses you can see them.

Oh really when?

A few fans noticed, and it's a little hard to tell with that one frame of animation, but it did help the early Garnet's a fusion WMG take off. Man, imagine how crazy that would've been!

Yeah... you can see the outline of Ruby and Sapphire for maybe a half-dozen frames at most when Alexandrite defuses in "Fusion Cuisine". I... may have tried pausing that episode at just the right time a few dozen times to finally see it.

Meanwhile, I'll just be the guy who thinks "Fusion Cuisine" was just okay. It felt like a slight Retcon in order to justify a Zany Scheme being used, and Steven was a bit annoying in that episode, but it had some hilarious Pearl and Garnet moments, and I think it works extremely well to set up elements that came into play in "Nightmare Hospital". Maybe it helps that I watched things out of order and thus watched it after "Super Watermelon Island" (which is a way more awesome introduction to Alexandrite), but as far as such things go, it was okay.

Ooh, I heard about what Lauren said about the whole Lapidot/Amedot thing. Ha, that really didn't calm anyone down. I think it mostly just really pissed of Amedot and Amethyst fans. Whoops.

Lauren Zuke and Hilary Florido story boarded and wrote both Too Far and Beta.

So it's not like one writer set up Amedot and Zuke came along and knocked it down for their preferred ship

Per Zuke's post, this was the intended arc the whole time

The shippers don't have to prefer where the show is going but getting angry seems like it's going

Too far

I wish there were no ships in Steven Universe (besides Ruby/Sapphire). That way there's no fandom explosion.

I'm more surprised they went and spelled it out for us, rather than saying nothing and letting us see it unfold ourselves.

If it wasn't so late into production (probably) I'd expect it to get cut entirely if fan backlash was strong enough.

Honestly... I really hate the idea of a Lapis and Peridot ship, but again I would prefer there be no ships at all in SU.

The only ship I ship is Jaspidot, and that's only jokingly. I don't really do shipping.

I'm aware of that. But of course Amedot shippers are going to be mad, that almost confirms their ship isn't endgame. And That's Terrible. (I've also seen some people claim that Amedot being "sunk" in favor of Lapidot basically uses Amethyst as a stepping stone for Peridot's development and implies that fat, neuroatypical woc lesbians are inherently unloveable.... it's been interesting, is what I'm saying. Shippers be cray.)

Fusion cusine wasnt that bad at first but the actual dinner is just "what?", in fact I also skipped that part until they unfused which the episode return to be funny(as garnet said "the base of good humor is fear") and the permise is weird(I mean, all connie have to said is that greg is a widow and that it)

Now with this episode...is good that it show part of connie and lapis without being around steven but I feel the episode was too short, it should have more stuff before they argue.

Also is intersting because I made the sugestion in this thread that Peridot is like Pearl and Lapis is like amathyst, I guess I was right tongue

I still can't watch Fusion Cuisine, the dinner became too much like a Gross-Out Show.

Oh yeah, and Fusion Cuisine's plot is honestly very contrived. I mean, props to the creators for wanting to show off Alexandrite in a comedic way but when the whole plot happens because of a very flimsy reason and then the episode itself isn't that good I can't help but have a :/ face.

There's nothing actually gross about the dinner scene...

Especially nothing worse than the earlier scene of Amethyst picking her nose.

I was just saying I found Fusion Cuisine to cross over into Gross-Out Show and when someone said they didn't understand what was gross I elaborated. Why are you taking this so personally? It's fine to have different opinions than other people do.
