Someone commented some pages ago that it was odd that the zoo was so far away from the Earth,then I realised they may have actually moved it away from Earth's orbit to prevent the rebels from attacking ,since they knew where the zoo was I'd say it was at least a possible target for them once the Earth was won.

I thought the distance to the Zoo was weird considering how Era 1 spaceship were apparently so much slower than modern ones. I thought they'd have to have kept the Zoo closer initially, otherwise the humans would starve to death (or even die of old age) on the way there, even with a ship full of food.

Then I remembered the Galaxy Warp allowed instant travel over any distance even back then, so they could have just moved humans with that thing.

I mean it's a zoo. We put our zoos in cities, not near the animals' habitats. So the zoo is probably closer to Homeworld or another major Gem population center than it is to Earth.

It looked like the Zoo was orbiting Saturn.

Yeah but it's a little different here since the zoo is literally off planet,the logistics would be insanely complex,although I admit the galaxy would have made things infinitely easier

Also the zoo was primarily for Pink Diamond so having it closer to Earth would have made a lot of sense since it was her planet

I think they could survive the warp fine. A trip by ship would either end up with them starving or dying of old age though.

No way the zoo orbits Saturn. It was going to take them 70 years to get there using the Ruby ship, which is much longer than it takes our stuff to get to Saturn.

They did say at their current speed it would get there in that time. Maybe it isn't normally fast outside of using its gravity engine?

I'm just assuming it was Saturn though. It sure looked a lot like Saturn to me.

Unless they were on some really, really bizzare trajectory involving a bunch of gravity assists there's no way you'd take 70 years. The Cassini-Huygens probe took around 7 years to reach Saturn, and even a Hohman Transfer would only take like 13 years +/- a year depending on how far from an ideal transfer window we're talking. 70 years is more in like with a trip to Neptune than Saturn.

That being said, we don't know how aware of these sort of things the writers are; Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale might be in effect.

I assumed it was a planet with a ring, in a completely different star system.

You know what we need more of? Songs. When was the last time someone sang? We need another kick-ass song.

If you don't count Sadie and Buck singing in "The Good Lars", the last one was "What's the Use of Feeling (Blue)", which was 14 episodes ago.

That would make this the longest period without a song, with second longest being the 12 episodes between "I Think I Need a Little (Change)" and "Here Comes A Thought" (and that's only if you don't count the full version of "Love Like You")

The event is listed under the official name Wanted because it aired as a TV movie (all four episodes premiered in sequence, no credits between) not as a bomb (one episode a day).

First of all:

  1. LARS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
  2. NEW GEMS
  3. THE LION QUESTION ON THE BETTING POOL IS ANSWERED
  4. I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE LION QUESTION ON THE BETTING POOL
  5. BUT SO WAS EVERYONE WHO SAID PINK DIAMOND

Ok now onto the calmer observations:

  1. I swear Rhodonite was made in that dolldivine gemsona maker
  2. Calling it now, Lars is going to learn to teleport like Lion and that's how he'll get back to earth
  3. How can I put that on the betting pool because it is my final answer
  4. [Some sort of D&D joke about Raise Dead idk]

People always suggest the warping thing and immediately forget the distance thing...
