> Just based on that one sentence, I assume it's the Off-Colors meeting the Crystal Gems.

Could be the off colours ,could also be all those Rose quartzes finally being freed

Or another scene at the Zoo with Famethyst. Or a crowd of Homeworld gems being menacing.

There's a lot of things it could be, and you'd expect at least one of them to happen anyway. That's why Petersen didn't consider mentioning it a spoiler.

Isn't it freaky that there are probably hundreds of Rose Quartzes identical to the one we know, and Greg and Stephen would probably have a personal crisis if they saw one?

Not any more so than any other gem. From what we've seen none of them are identical anyway, very similar, but distinct.

Yeah, just take a look at all the Amethysts we saw.

Rubies seem to be nearly identical, save gem placement and the accompanying clothing, but that seems to just be signify how interchangeable they are.

Regardless, the other Rose Quartzes all probably look similar enough to disturb Steven/Greg/Amethyst/anyone who knew Rose but not the others. Though the idea it would cause a "personal crisis" sounds like a ridiculous overstatement.

You know, I wonder if Rose's white gown is the standard for her caste, or her own creation. If the former, Pink Diamond's got some interesting priorities.

If anyone is going to react when they see another Rose,it's going to be Pearl,it wouldn't be a personal crisis for her now since she's worked through her issues and has moved on,but it would be the ultimate test given how far she's come

Or her reaction could be a funny visual gag before moving on.

One would think that gems would be accustomed to that, I wonder how GREG would react.

But then again, even the rubies seemed to have problems differentiating one another.

I mean, considering they can barely count to six, that's not much of a surprise.

That makes sense. The amount of light they need is apparently minimal considering the Off Colors are fine.

Yeah if they really were in trouble they wouldn't be able maintain fusions like Florite or Rhodonite

gems are like Superman basically,only not invincible as they can't/won't cover the vulnerable part of their bodies

I suspect Rose's dress was a personal affectation after she started the rebellion - after all, it had a star window framing her gem. Relatedly, I am curious as to just what she presumably looked like back when she was still Pink Diamond's retainer.

[up][up] "Not invincible" is putting it mildly. An army of literal Spear throwers could decimate Homeworld.

Thanks for the link. I'm now convinced that White Diamond is Rick Sanchez until proven otherwise.

They also made Swan Dive: a fusion of Pearl and Scrooge McDuck; "the ultimate bird adventurer".

Here's the whole stream: the comment is at about 1:00:30. Sugar's said gems' "energy comes from light", which isn't necessarily the same as being solar powered.

None of them have any idea what Swan Dive would sound like.

Thinking out loud here but the way gems have an obsession with physical contact does paint an interesting picture,they fly around in hand shaped ships and their combat is based on fighting in close quarters ,ranged attacks aren't really used *much* and fusion is the ultimate expression of intimacy between gems.Gems not covering up their gems makes a lot of sense now because it's most physical part of them and allows them to fuse,

ranged attacks aren't really used
Yes, they are. They're used less, but that's mostly because gems use a Weapons Kitchen Sink and artists generally find melee weapons more interesting to portray.

ok whatever that's what I meant,maybe I should have added 'much' since your right as their ships are capable of ranged attacks,and aquamarine used a ranged attack

It's also probably more to do with the fact that their warrior gems like Jasper,Topaz rely on brute strength so they have no need for ranged weaponry,where as it's not practical for Aqua to engage in close combat.

Peridot used plenty of ranged attacks as I recall,
