How much of this season do we have left? I think someone said the next one would be the season finale?
Assuming season five is 26 quarter-hours, it would be. However, it's possible the season was made longer or that there really is a season six—I'm leaning more toward the former since the movie was announced. Either way, we know there are at least three episodes left.

Is the movie going to be set after that episode?
We don't know. I would guess, from how the gem showed is clearly not a diamond, that it's separate from the show's story arc either way.

My theory is the huge White Diamond structure we thought was a statue the first time is actually White Diamond's ship that's shaped like a torso and head.
That's barely a theory by this point. It's a torso without arms or legs, which we now know isn't White herself. Blue, Yellow, and Pink's ships are arms and legs.

The common theory was that that statue WAS White. Another theory was that she was Homeworld physically to explain her various absences like the Trial.

So naturally, the writers have to Power Ranger Megazord these diamond ships at some point.

I feel based on White's light style that her court would be heavenly/light named gems like celestite or angelite (I probably misspelled those).

I was going to say that. The sillhoutte looked a lot like WP

So, what do you think would happen with Blue and Yellow?

[up][up] The silhouette in that trailer doesn't have hair buns from what I see. When you look at other frames of the shot, it's clear they're really long pig tails. Also she has a rounder face with bigger cheeks, broader shoulders that look like shoulder pads maybe, and a wider torso.

To me, she looks similar to Baby from Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.

Specifically, the head's silhouette is two ovals (main and cheeks), while all the Pearls are shaped like a single oval.

Given that the Diamond ships clearly form a megazord, that makes me wonder what the purpose of such a Combining Mecha is.

@fasoman1996: I don't think White is going to do anything to them. We're probably going to get an arc with Steven and friends stuck on Homeworld struggling to even get an audience with White Diamond to try and broach the issue of corruption.

So, I’ve heard that at Comic Con they apparently said that there would be FOUR more seasons. Has anybody else heard this?

I’d heard this from someone who heard it on the sub-reddit, incidentally.

It's super-disturbing how White Pearl has freaking scars and a missing eye.

More than a few people have wondered if White Diamond caused them (either with some way to permanently disfigure gems, or just ordering her to change to form). I'll put a different theory: White Pearl's so old, her gemstone is starting to malfunction, or predated gems ability to regenerate.


People were wondering whether White Diamond would act like an imperious overlord or a senile grandma. The answer appears to be "creepy, possible senile grandma would might also be really violent".
[up]I've heard that from nowhere, and I don't see how the staff themselves could know that.

Considering Diamonds are supposed to be immortal and White is presumably the oldest Diamond, would it be possible that she just doesn't perceive time the way others do? A few thousand years is practically a blink of an eye.

@Karkat: That's from a 4chan "leak" which gave some correct details about SDCC, Legs from here to Homeworld, and 9 was the tentative target with there being "no end in sight" for the show's production.

Maybe White is able to affect a small dose of corruption to other gems. That may explain what's up with WP if mind control is not involved.

Judging from this post, "Legs From Here to Homeworld" included the last of the leaks from that one podcast. Since White Diamond spoke (her voice actor mentioned being cast like a year ago) I think that means we've officially got no active leaks.

Yeah, I thought about that too. Part of the reason why she sheems so nonchalant might be that the whole thing, from her perspective, was the equivalent of a child running away from home for a few hours.

Given the way Blue and Yellow talked about her though, I imagine she's probably still pissed and simply decided to punish Pink a bit later.

[up] I'm leaning towards her having known what Pink was up to all along and not telling the other Diamonds so they'd go along with the corruption blast, forcing Pink to watch all of her fellow Crystal gems suffer an agonizing fate and being powerless to stop it, with Blue and Yellow's subsequent grief being their punishment for failing to get Pink to act like a proper Diamond. White strikes me as the kind of person who would go for that kind of absurdly passive aggressive and ice-cold means of harming somebody.

So, how do you think White knew that Steven was pink before the Diamonds even introduced him to her?

Is the "Our pearl is a gift/creation from White to Pink and she has been secretly using her to keep an eye Pink/Rose/Steven" theory still plausible?

Funny how Pink Diamond has a navel gem with a forehead gem Pearl while White Diamond has a forehead gem with a navel gem Pearl. It was so close proving the fan theory that a Diamond and her Pearl share gem placement on their body.

[up]That's probably still significant. It's pretty obvious that something is wrong with White's Pearl anyway from her facial scars, her being voiced by White Diamond's VA and not Deedee, as well as the fact that she doesn't really move properly and just kinda glides around.

That's a strong possibility, but I'll point out it could be the exact opposite: Maybe she knows nothing about what's actually happening, and acts completely different than Blue and Yellow described, because she's suffered severe dementia since those two last saw her.
