Reincarnation...this show hasn't introduced that concept.

On Pink Diamond, I'm sure it was Pearl, because The Butler Did It.

On Lars: My issue with Lars is that I felt his good points weren't enough for me to overlook what a jerk he was. His stagnant character development was another problem. I actually like the idea of a character that doesn't learn to not be a jerk in just one episode, but throughout the first season, it seems like none of the attempts at developing him stuck. And after being almost for most of season 2, "The New Lars" made him seem worse than ever, showing us that his parents are afraid of him, the Cool Kids don't like him that much, and Sadie doesn't trust him to be sincere.

I enjoyed his depiction in these last few episodes because his character development finally stuck. At the same time, the fact that it happened right before he was Put on a Bus makes it feel less meaningful than it should have been.

@randomness4: The show need not introduce a concept before people start theorizing around it.

@The Handle: Ooh, I hadn't noticed that trope applied. Nice.

Saying Lars' parents were "afraid of him" seems like a bit of an exaggeration. They were nervous to talk about something his grades and such, but people not being sure how to initiate conversations like that and worry about how the other person is going to respond is hardly out of the ordinary.

That's only because Seasons 2 and 3 and Seasons 4 and 5 were supposed to be two seasons each. CN split them in half for some reason. They'd done that with a lot of other shows, actually.
And the opposite happened with the first season: the initial batch of episodes was the 26 up to "Ocean Gem". When the next 26 were greenlit close to a year later, for whatever reason they were classified as an extension on the first season instead of a new season.

Basically, back around 2012 someone at CN decided to change the standard season length from 26 episodes to 52. Then it changed back to 26 around 2015. Both grouping were applied to seasons already in production, hence why Steven Universe has one long season made from two short ones, and four short seasons made from two long ones.

>I like to imagine Lapis' being the demolition crew of Homeworld, and a group of Lapis Lazuli's lounging around, catcalling and whistling at other Gems when they pass by.

There was a theory that Lapis gems were scouts,though they could be both scouts and later terraformers

That said I'm now imagining Lapis singing about riding a wrecking ball..

Re: Lion. Whatever way you slice it there was no "obvious" answer to Lion. Every answer theorized, including the answer we actually got involved a new mechanic being introduced, albeit one based from an existing mechanic. We did not know that Rose's tears could resurrect organic life, and we certainly had no way of knowing that resurrected organic life would turn pink and gain the ability to access a pocket dimension through hair.

What if you revive an animal that has fur, but no mane, like a tiger? Why does only the mane work, and not all of Lion's fur? Or Lar's arm hair (or does it work and Steven is too large?) Would a beard work?

The tiger would grow an extra thick fur mane like a lion

A beard could work actually

Why would arm hair work...? He's a teen...no teen would have thick enough arm hair to be a portal to a pocket dimension.

Speaking of beards and manes, I wonder if they ever considered having Greg become the pink Zombie instead of Lars. Aquamarine never really found "My Dad".

Not for a Steven-sized creature, but what if Steven was as big as a small ant?

Steven should've saved Blue Zircon's gem.

To be fair, had he tried, the Diamonds would have likely noticed him attempting to do so.

Not to mention, Blue Zircon'd likely blame herself for accusing the Diamonds, similar to Peridot's hilarious breakdown after calling Yellow Diamond a clod, right to her face.
