I actually liked these episodes! But maybe it's because my expectations were adjusted from reading this thread before I watched, haha.
The kittens were so cute :3
Creator of Heroes of Thantopolis: http://heroesofthantopolis.com/Steven brought up the idea of Pink being alive, but "I had dreams about both Blue and Pink." seems like deliberately flimsy reasoning:
- As mentioned before, the prevailing explanation for the dream about Pink was that Stevonnie's dream powers work differently.
- Blue at least had to be on the same planet as Steven to affect his dreams. Were Pink alive, how would she have ended up on the jungle moon?
- If Pink being alive caused the second dream, why was it a memory set in the exact location Stevonnie fell asleep in?
- Even if Pink's gem caused the dream, who's to say it couldn't be shattered? Steven telepathically connected with the Cluster, after all.
Smells like Red Herring.
They twice mentioned Sadie Killer and the Suspects were having a concert in Beach City coming up. Considering we already had two episodes about the band, and a Vignette Episode about goings on in Beach City, I expect the concert will be interrupted by one or two things:
- The Sun Incinerator makes it to Earth.
- Something cataclysmic.
(Also, the timing seems about right for a third episode set on Beach-A-Palooza.)
"Fear has brought us together. That's the magic of Homeworld."
I'm just curious how exactly Garnet got the job at the Big Donut. Wasn't there any orientation video you had to watch, featuring Mr. Smiley?
I need a fic of this, stat!
Oh God! Natural light!In fairness, anything that attempts to convince people in the righteousness of a cause is, by definition, propaganda.
Oh God! Natural light!Caught up with the new episodes.
I enjoyed them all but I was hoping we'd get a bit more related to the Myth Arc. Your Mother and Mine was the one closest to fulfilling that (by showing us a bit of Rose's origins, establishing that Pearl didn't originally belong to anyone, and showing a bit of White Diamond) so I liked it the best.
I REALLY don't think Pearl doesn't belong to anyone. She clearly was programmed by SOMEONE to not say anything about her past, and I really doubt it was Rose.
As noted by a few people on Tumblr, Garnet joined after both Rose and Pearl. So she only knew the latter as a free Pearl.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.It's not huge, but Garnet didn't specify a weapon the first time. I assumed Rose used some other weapon or her damn bare hands
. But now Garnet's repeated the same apparent inaccuracy Blue Diamond did. Whatever deception occurred, Garnet was either part of it or fooled by it.
Mostly this is evidence against theories that Rose did shatter Pink, but had inside help getting through security.
When Garnet said Pearl "didn't belong to anybody", she meant "did not respect Homeworld's idea that she (or anyone else) was property". By Homeworld's standards she clearly still was.
