I wonder if the culmination of dealing with the fallout of the reveal will have Steven fusing with Pearl and/or Garnet.

That's been my assumption for why we haven't seen that fusion happen sooner.

I believe the creators said the Crystal Temple was originally Pink Diamond's palace, right? What if the statue was originally a Diamond fusion?

...They've never said that. The Temple was called the Crystal Palace in the pilot, sure, but there has never been any word anywhere that the Temple belonged to the Diamonds.

I did have one kinda off-the-wall theory about Steven's next fusion - he's going to fuse with Ruby next - she's going to process and get over the news about Rose being PD much faster, and she's going to fuse with Steven in part to show this and in part to look for Sapphire more readily. It's a very low probability chance of happening (honestly, I think Steven/Pearl is most likely), but it was an interesting idea, I thought.

I can't imagine Ruby or Sapphire fusing independently of one another.

I think it was replaced by Meat Beat Mania 2.

I kind of had the theory about Steven fusing with either Ruby or Sapphire by themselves too, mostly because it would be an interesting direction for two characters who almost by definition aren't usually in the show. Not completely down with it, but I could see it happen.

As for which of the Crystal Gems I'd want more episodes about, even though she gets a lot of them I'd still say Garnet, simply because while Pearl and Amethyst have had who they are rather fully fleshed out, there are noticeable parts of Garnet that we haven't seen even though we have seen them often from other characters.

She is, for example, the only character (at least, who knew her) to date who hasn't had an episode about her specific, individual reaction to Rose's death and how she feels about the way things are different now, of which Amethyst and especially Pearl have had several, even though from what we see of flashbacks her place in the team dynamics significantly changed pre-to-post Rose's death. In fact, while she does a lot of talking about the past and her ideologies, the only episodes that really explore her personal feelings in the present are the ones about her Future Vision. Even the Sardonyx story was arguably more about Pearl than it was about her.

Tumblr puts forward a theory that cows in Steven Universe aren't domesticated animals.
Wild and domestic cattle aren't mutually exclusive. Aurochs didn't go extinct until the 17th century, thousands of years after cattle were first domesticated.

Of course, aurochs never lived on the Northeastern Seaboard, so either wildlife placement is really different, or Garnet was just talking about stray/feral cows.

As for the milk/cheese thing, it could have come from goats, they can be used for many of the same things we use cattle for.

Cow Milk was actually Goat Milk all along! They've been hinting at it since episode 1! Just look at Cookie Cat!

You guys are forgetting that "Steven's Dream" begins with Greg and Steven watching Aliens Steal Cattle on a TV show.

No, obviously Cookie Cat is made out of cat milk.

So do you think Greg got a ticket for Pearl's driving in Last One out of Beach City?

Even beyond aurochs, I'd like to point out that there are wild bovines today. And Theodore Roosevelt really did hunt them (with his later conservation efforts mostly being so that others could hunt them, too). I'm going to assume that Garnet just isn't that interested in the difference between a bison and a cow (to be fair, it's really not at all important to her).

Sure, if you go by the theory that Steven Universe mostly takes place in the equivalent of Delaware, that's notable because it's much further east than bison are found usually, but eh, far from the most radical difference between its world and ours.

Another thing is I've seen cow heads hung up on the wall at real steakhouses. So that's not something they only do for game animals, yeah. They're fake ones, but still.

Also everything I said after the link was a joke. That theory is silly.

Given how off the grind they are it would probably be difficult for the government to issue a ticket

Although I'm now imagining someone turning up at the Temple inquiring about who was driving the car

Greg isn't, that's why they suggested he'd get the ticket.

Though that's assuming the officer either found the car or remembered the license plate.
