Must've been the DBZ connections...

I can't think of a single reformed villain in Dragon Ball which that happened to.

Anyway, I feel like Jasper coming back is an end of series thing. With the current set up to cure all of the corrupted Gems, if they get White on their side that essentially ends the last threat. There wouldn't really be anything left unless some other aliens come out of nowhere.

I could see Blue and Yellow standing up to White,during their confrontation Blue goes down and Yellow is the last one standing,she gets to be supreme leader of the Gem Empire and the show still has an antagonist

[up][up][up]Seriously, of all the times Vegeta's gotten his ass kicked, one of them even literally ending with him killing himself (in a heroic sacrifice, mind you), nothing even comes close to matching the scenario described last page.

I can't believe it's been five years already. I still remember the first promos for the show. Some people were saying it was going to be a stupid cartoon, but I was always interested in it. It's changed so much in half a decade, though.

I remember seeing some promos before it came out but didn't think much of it at the time.

Honestly, every time I heard about the show online I thought it sounded dumb. That didn't change until a few years ago when a friend of mine recommended it. I'm really glad I gave it a chance.

Myself, the early episodes (in particular, "Frybo" and "Hamburger Backpack") turned me off (and I still find large chunks of the first season downright difficult to watch - I don't think I full-on enjoyed an entire episode prior to "Mirror Gem"), but I came back to it when the whole drama with "Alone At Sea" happened, because I just had to know what caused such a blowup (and as it turned out, I loved that ep). I had to play catch-up to get much of the series.

This show has definitely gotten better with age.

Oh yeah. Wait... If they had an actual time machine, why didn't they go back in time to prevent Pink Diamond's "shattering"?

they probably know messing about with time is bad idea.

I'm half expecting the origins of the Gem race to be result someone messing about with time and space

I remember when I first saw ads for Steven Universe and what I presumed the show would be like:

Pearl: "I am a human woman selected by destiny to wield the power of the Cosmic Pearl and save the Earth from evil. Together with the wielder of the Cosmic Amethyst and the wielder of the Cosmic Garnet, we form a group called the Crystal Gems. Our lives were turned upside-down the day the Cosmic Quartz chose Steven to wield it. Never before has a male been selected by a gem, and Steven has a lot to learn, but I think one day he'll make us proud."

Was Rose even mentioned in the ads for early SU?

I'll admit, I cheated a little with that post. I knew there were three Crystal gems, but I didn't know their names, and I didn't know what kind of gem Steven had, though I did know it was in his bellybutton.

I remember seeing a few episodes here and there, but I wasn't fully onboard until I saw "Space Race." After watching that I knew I had to see every episode.

I don't think Blue or Yellow would have so much restraint unless they were sure it wouldn't work (i.e. the alternate timelines erasing themselves like they did was inevitable).

More likely they didn't know about it—it was assumed destroyed, a secret/surprise that it ever worked, etc.

I watched a couple early episodes but wasn't hooked until I stumble across Garnet singing Stronger Than You on Youtube while looking for a rock song that had "stronger than you" in its lyrics. Based on that, I decided to go back and rewatch the whole series.

Hilariously enough, that Youtube video actually started with Garnet having already refused, so I wasn't even spoiled on the Ruby/Sapphire twist, I just didn't really think about the lyrics too hard.

I saw "Coach Steven" and "The Test" (both of which I really liked), and they got me curious about this show enough to follow the trope pages. Then I heard about the big Garnet twist and how it coincided with the Stan's twin twist in Gravity Falls. So while that was on break my friends caught up with SU.

I'm not totally sure, but I think I started watching the show when it first came on.
