Interestingly, it kind of explains why Steven doesn't just explain the whole truth about the gems to Ronaldo. He tried that already shortly after "Rising Tides, Crashing Skies", but Ronaldo wasn't ready for it.

It also pretty thoroughly establishes Ronaldo has an APPROXIMATE knowledge of many things. For one thing, felt the "music" of the Cluster when it was close to forming, which is actually pretty creepy if you think about it.

So the zap 2 it schedule was wrong... the actual premiers are a week earlier.

That is a damn good trailer, even if they're giving giving away a big spisode from probably the third episode—granted, the episode descriptions made it somewhat obvious.

I've got a couple of theories here about what's going on with that last line.

1) Steven is not unique and there's another human Gem hybrid out there.

2) She's a human who's somehow escaped the Zoo and has been looking for her father back on earth.

[up]I'm sure it's not the first, but there's a decent chance Rose had some other kid of child before Steven.

As for the second, those silhouettes are definitely not humans, and I would think it weird to show those when the line is from neither of them.

I suppose it could also be something said by a gem designed to kidnap humans that looks like a human child.

Though that feel like a bit of a cop-out, depending on the context.

Some child? One that was never mentioned before this point? One that would have had to be immortal but without Rose's Gem powers? I suppose some kind of stasis could be involved but other than that there's no way any adopted child of Rose would still be both alive and a little girl.

I'm guessing that the one with the buttefly wings is an Era 2 Lazuli.

I meant "child" in almost facetiously broad sense. As in a lifeform Rose made, not gave birth to or adopted. Like the plants, or possibly Lion.

Why would such a being have a dad though?

My idea was that Rose made someone, they met Steven, and were asking if Steven's "I am my mom" thing makes Steven their dad.

2) She's a human who's somehow escaped the Zoo and has been looking for her father back on earth.
This seems impossible since the only human to be delivered to the zoo in recent memory is Greg. The fact the Zoomans have their own society suggests they've been out of the loop a while.

What I meant to say is somehow escaped before ending up in the actual Zoo. That seems far-fetched too.. What I'm saying is I'm not sure what's going on.

As a reminder, spoiler marks aren't really protecting anything in a forum.

I'm gonna do a shot-by-shot analysis... sometime today. I'll keep it in a folder to reign in the page space.

I'm guessing that the one with the buttefly wings is an Era 2 Lazuli.
The wings are translucent, but that would be a pretty radical design shift compared to the Rubies, who seem visually unchanged between eras. If so, maybe the other is a Era 2 quartz similar to Colin Howard's concept art for Jasper.

This seems impossible since the only human to be delivered to the zoo in recent memory is Greg.
I cannot imagine how a human could have escaped, either. If a zooman came to Earth, it's because a gem brought them there, and the only reason I could imagine is to serve as bait. Even that sounds like a needless risk.

The important thing is that this quote is being spoken *about* a human male, by a character that we've never seen before. And, given the degree and weight of importance the trailer gives that line, it's probably spoken by a non-human. Of course this doesn't have to mean that Greg's been busy as of late, it could also be more relationship wise, but that's still a big freaking deal. Even if it's a human to another human, we've never heard this character before, which means that there's a guy in Beach City that has a daughter we've never heard about.

Lapises are terraformers, used whenever Homeworld needs to access more resources. Era 2 gems have less resources put into them because there's a lack of resources to go around. So I don't see why there's be an Era 2 Lapis at all.

I can't wait for when the credits of the first episode do the "full season cast list" thing that reveals all these characters' names multiple episodes before they appear.

[up] I remember that happened before, but with which episodes?

During the season one finale with Ruby, Sapphire, Jasper, and Malachite—though the latter was obscured by Malachite's Voice of the Legion. Technically it also happened with Vidalia (and Marty?), though their debuts were knocked back by a season.

There might have been some more minor ones, like listing characters from Crying Breakfast Friends some time before "Cry for Help", which were just confusing.

Wasn't their existence spoiled even earlier than that by the listing for a marathon in their name?
