Lapis being used as a skateboard is a hilarious mental image
I believe it was actually put on the internet, I just can't find it.

Finally! 25 bucks ain't that bad, either.

It's not "the complete first season" though. It's missing Story For Steven and Shirt Club, with Full Disclosure and Joy Ride in their place.

So to be more precise/anal the first 52 episodes aired.

I already have all those digitally (which unlike a DVD are in HD), but I might check out the bonus features somehow.

In hindsight I'm starting to feel that Season 1 was the best.

I feel like we peaked with Seasons 2 through 3.

Fair point.

Hmm... Season B, I guess. The mythology of the universe was building and I think Jail Break is still one of the best episodes of the series. It still felt like things were rising to a peak, rather than the slow crawl things have felt like since Season 4.

I dunno, Seasons 2 and 3 had some of the best character episodes and arcs. Season 3's finale is, in my opinion, better than The Return and Jailbreak were.

Was Season 3 or 4 the one with Andy and the bit where Greg gets kidnapped? That's where I thought things went downhill for a while.

Season 4. And I still don't understand your hatred for Out of This World when that was the biggest bright spot in the season.

I mean, it wasn't wall-to-wall excitement or anything like that, but I felt like it was pretty interesting.

Uh...not really? The entire arc was some of the best stuff that season.

Nothing interesting happened other than Yellow Diamond getting a hint of depth and introducing Blue Diamond.

Other than Last One Out Of Beach City and Room for Ruby I don't think I even like the entire season TBH, though going through the episode list I'm remebering Season 3 had some bad ones as well like Drop Beat Dad, New Lars and Too Short To Ride, though of course the rest of the Nuke was fantastic and had the payoff for years of buildup like Bismuth.

I don't think things picked up until The Trial.

EDIT: Lemme rephrase that; after Last One Out of Beach City is when I think Season 4 got bad and didn't pick up until The Trial (so I liked the stuff prior), except for the awesomeness that was Room for Ruby. I didn't find Aquamarine a very interesting character either.

Okay and it had worldbuilding, some revelations about the Rose Quartzes and Homeworld, Amethyst bonding with other Amethysts, a great song, and was kind of thrilling. Not the best arc but it wasn't awful or boring.

And I don't think Aquamarine was meant to be deep or whatever? She's just a huge bitch and I love her for it.

I didn't like the Famethyst either. I thought they were too easily converted.

They were perfectly down for some family-bro time and screwing over their shitty boss, but I highly doubt that they've been "converted" in any real way.

@52243 I mean, on a gem's lifetime scale, Peridot and Lapis' conversion is still pretty dang recent. Also, true In-Universe - hasn't it still been less than a year?

Finally got to the other episodes from the most recent bomb. Over all, it reminds me how I do not miss being a teenager for the most part (well, I miss being that skinny, but other than that...). The thing that still gets me is the sheer gall Kevin had in even inviting Steven and Connie in the first place. I mean, I know that people can really be that self-centered and jerky, but seriously.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

I recall mentioning this previously but I was really surprised that with all those other Amethysts there that Amethyst didn't express in either joining or at least plead with them to return to Earth with her

I now think the exodus the from zoo will happen eventually but it will be because different group of rebels.
