Does this episode make Amethyst into Jake...?

Her part/development in this episode is really similar to Jake's development in a "recent-ish" AT episode.

Except she was way more aggressive about it.

Ya know, if "My [gem]" is how you refer to your superiors the "My Pearl" takes new meaning if Pearl is what inspired Pink to start the whole thing in first place [lol]

Yeah, no way this was filler. This was actually a pretty important step in the development of both Amethyst and Steven.

Also, Amethyst is the friggin' best.

Why has nobody pointed out how unnecessarily dramatic Ruby's "Sapphire Wait!" is?

She's not even saying it while she's teleporting, she's saying it while she's 3 ft. away.

Can't help but think it was directed that way for the ad.

I love Amethyst so much. She's really is the most mature Crystal Gem! tongue

The calling of this as filler makes even less sense than usual in this case, because it's both the culmination of the major arc of one of the series' major characters (Amethyst), and it's the establishment of the main character's (Steven's) state of mind going forward after the latest crushing reveal. And it arguably marks a maturity shift in the series as a whole, given that this episode specifically takes to task and defies the kind of emotional gut punches the show has been relying on since the beginning. This is important stuff, or at least about as far from what filler is as you can get, and it's content that this series has always made sure to have after big moments: these reaction episodes are how the show moves its characters forward.

This feels again like people just using "filler" as a buzz word to mean "I personally wanted the episode to be about something else, ergo it's useless," as tends to be the case with this show.

I still hate Rose Quartz. I don't think anything will make me stop hating Rose Quartz at this point. But at least someone told Steven that this isn't his fault or responsibility to fix.

So I had a thought; what if, during Ruby's or Sapphire's bachelorette parties, Pearl runs into Mystery Girl and invites her to the wedding? Be a nice way to bring her back.

[up] I have the sense she's not returning.

I remember a lot of people thinking she would be the character voiced by Joan Jett.

Would be interesting to have Ruby and Sapphire around individually for a while, but that would mean Garnet is out of the picture and not having one of your main characters around for such a long time isn't exactly the best.

[up][up][up] She was in the same episode, funnily enough.

And I mean, you never know. They could have easily just shown Steven and Greg at the airport during "Steven's Dream", but they instead decided to include a scene of Andy flying them to the airport.

Considering the amount of episodes where the CGs aren't even in them.

Garnet is in a interesting spot in that while she is one of the primary characters of the series, she's also the leader and the most capable member of the Gems whom everyone relies on to guide them through: losing her for a while would be a perfect beginning to an extended Darkest Hour storyline. Pearl freaking out about the possibility of not having Garnet any more is very apt.

In fact, I've been wondering if they're going to be evil about this story, and have the big attack from the Diamonds happen during Ruby and Sapphire's reunion / wedding, followed by one of them being taken or injured after/during the Alexandrite battle, resulting into the rest of the Gems being forced to handle the major problems about to arise without Garnet.

That'd be a good opportunity to have Steven step into the leader role.

I like seeing Ruby not being a perpetual grump. Last time she was angry, she evaporated a pool's worth of water.

wild mass guessWhen Garnet inevitably comes back, she'll have an inexplicable new love of dipping into a Western accent at random.wild mass guess

I love how Ruby is exuberant about everything. The way she's animated is really bouncy: she doesn't ever walk, she runs. Usually, she jumps. Leaps. Flips. She never does anything simply. It's really fun to watch.

Well, first she wanted to be a dolphin, but Steven pointed out that was impractical.
