[up] I don't think Rose would have the time to cultivate some lions during the rebellion. I always thought she got them afterward.

[up][up]Trailers Always Lie, after all. They might just be playing it up.

There's gonna be a huge Broken Base if it turns out Pearl shattered PD, I just know it.

Theory related to the promo: the Junge Moonbase's orb wasn't inactive because it hasn't been used in thousands of years, it was inactive because the planet it was connected to died.

The special announcement was date confirmation of the 7th may
I know some people that won't like that.
That's the very next week after the previously scheduled episodes will air.

Yes, they were put online almost a month ago, but what are they gonna do? Put up more episodes online before the last batch aired on TV?

Trailers Always Lie, after all. They might just be playing it up.
Trailers Always Spoil seem more prevalent with cartoons, especially since this is a foreign (Australian) promo none of the actual crew may have had input in.

But am I mistaken or Pearl still holding Rose's regular sword there? Because if so that leaves the question of "why bring up the sword couldn't shatter" in the first place if the answer is "actually, it could"?

Before we discuss this too much, we should probably come to an agreement on whether to discuss this in the main or spoiler thread.

I know official promos are fair game, but it would still be more convenient to forgo the wall of white.

OK,so with Lapis being on the moon and Steven going to the Moon to see her I'm wondering what prompts Steven to go there,it could be in relation to how her leaving effected Peridot,and what is up with this thing going into the sky?

[up] That actually makes me wonder if Steven tells the Gems that Lapis is on the moon before he goes after her.

As for the orb, it looks like it's projecting Beach City onto the moonbase.

And now that we're spoilers off about the promo, I'm gonna repost this theory from last page: the Junge Moonbase's orb wasn't inactive because it hasn't been used in thousands of years, it was inactive because the planet it was connected to died.

Lapis is clearly operating the orb from the moon base, which becomes a globe that she can use to project locations on Earth, presumably live.

I'm curious if it has other functions, or Lapis just used it to watch Steven and others while on the moon.

Theory related to the promo: the Junge Moonbase's orb wasn't inactive because it hasn't been used in thousands of years, it was inactive because the planet it was connected to died.
For reference, here's the Jungle Moon orb now. I don't see why the orb's surveillance ability would be tied to the planet's ability to support life.
Is Garnet saying "You have it all wrong!" from a previous episode? There's clearly some clips from "It Could've Been Great" thrown it, , .

[up] Garnet's line was from her telling the Off Colors about Rose Quartz.

Regarding The teaser, obviously that scene with Pearl isn't going to be the big reveal that she shattered Pink Diamond or something, but I still like my theory that Pearl was originally a Manchurian Agent for White Diamond sent to spy on the Crystal Gems during the original rebellion (and perhaps even a witting spy who ended up falling In Love with the Mark), and even now White Diamond's power is what compels her to silence herself about certain topics.

Remember when Greg said he was going to by a telescope for the lighthouse? An earlier trailer showed Steven looking through that and spotting the barn. So that's how he finds out about Lapis being on the moon.

I've got a few observations and a lot more questions:

  • Not necessarily a response to this promo, as the previous ads already showed Steven going to the moon to meet Lapis, but what does Steven want to tell her? He was OK with her leaving before.
  • Steven goes to the moon because he sees the barn in a crater, but Lion's portal starts him on the moon base. At first I thought Lapis was already on the moon base, and opens the door to kick him out. Now I'm pretty sure Steven meets her at the barn, they go back to the moon base, then Lapis is opening to door to leave herself.
  • Is Steven still on the moon while standing on Pearl's shadow? He's still wearing his jacket.
  • What is Steven standing in front of when he yells "Wait!"? It's blowing in the wind—not something likely to be around in the moon base or the barn, except maybe from the orb's projection.

Garnet's line was from her telling the Off Colors about Rose Quartz.
Thanks. Knew she was in some kind of ship.

I was all for Pearl being the culprit but I fear Trailers Always Lie might be in effect. Most important to me here is that we still see Pearl using Rose's sword as opposed to one of her own swords which could (by the logic of the show) shatter Pink Diamond.

I do however believe that whatever happened, Pearl knows the full story.

[up][up] Hmm...

  1. 1 Maybe he went to ask "why did you take the barn?", or "if you wanted to avoid another war, why are you here?".
  2. 2 The moon has no oxygen. It'd be easier to warp to the moonbase, bubble yourself, and then go outside, rather than warping to the moon's surface and immediately dying from the cold and lack of air.
  3. 3 I think so. Pearl's silhouette is the same color as Lapis' shadow from that Portugal leak (is it okay to mention that?), which takes place in the moonbase.
  4. 4 Lion, I believe. The light pink color matches his mane.

[up][up] My suspicion is that particular shot isn't going to be all that significant, and we won't get any answers about what really happened to Pink Diamond, just more questions.

It'd be easier to warp to the moonbase, bubble yourself, and then go outside, rather than warping to the moon's surface and immediately dying from the cold and lack of air.
Sorry if that part sounded like a question. It's obvious why Steven started at the moonbase, I was just figuring out if Lapis was already there or came there after meeting up with Steven.

that Portugal leak (is it okay to mention that?),
Is it a real leak (e.g. was not meant to be release and/or brazenly shows a plot twist) or just a foreign promo like this one?

Lion, I believe. The light pink color matches his mane.
The left half kind of looks like his star-shaped mane, but the right half looks like some weird tuft I don't recall him ever happening.

EDIT: Wait, that might just be the part that goes over the side of his face.

[up] Well, the second one is indeed interesting.

As an unrelated question, how does the moon base have breathable air and why?

Blueeyedrat Since: Oct, 2010
#53848: Apr 22nd 2018 at 11:18:36 PM

[up] My headcanon is that Gem moonbases are temperature/atmosphere-controlled, to match the environment of their host planet (or Homeworld itself, chalked up to All Planets Are Earth-Like). Saves them the trouble of having to recalibrate their equipment whenever they warp between base and planet.
