I was too, a little. Hopefully she shows up again soon so we can see for real.

[up][up]Someone on reddit speculated they did that, because the point is that she now starting to be on a path to recovery from what PD did to her and not healing her eye so showing the eye healed or still broken would distract from that.

Personally i was not too invested in the new episodes but thats because i wasnt really intrested in them to begin with.

The only things left of interest for me is will solving the pink white diamond issue reveal the origins of gemkind and how will the pink demon a.k.a. wormi boy come to be. (i think thats really steven after a emotional break down)

Also that does not sound like Rebecca. Who's singing this?
I misread that part to. The credits list Rebecca Sugar under "Lyric" while "Music" is Rebecca Sugar, Aivi+Surrashu, and Emily King—the last one is presumably the singer.
The show very deliberately obscured Volleyball's face for the aforementioned issue of it distracting from the point.

Literally speaking, Mega Pearl still had the scar up to the instant she defused. Even if the scar heals significantly by the next time we see her, it almost certainly hadn't at that instant.

My take on it is that she's not just healed at least figuratively but that now it doesn't matter, because with Pearl she can now see 'the full picture' with regards to Pink and her arc.

Did our Pearl ever belong to White Diamond?

Implicitly so by process of elimination, color scheme and gem placement.

At a post-movie screening Q&A, Sugar actually outright said she wasn't, but White Diamond was involved with making all Pearls, and to wait and see how things continue.

The Reef probably figures into this, as it's possible Pearls aren't made the same way other gems are.

[up][up]That's what we had all assumed, but then why would Pink Pearl be much older than our Pearl?

I kind of get the impression that Pink, Yellow and Blue Pearl were the first three off the assembly line.

The Reef was a very nice little worldbuilding detail. It makes sense from a bunch of angles, so it's nice to see.

I also really loved Mega Pearl, though I'm not so fond of the name.

Overall, a good start to the series.

An interesting post on reddit points out that part of Volleyball's crack is seen from the side earlier in the episode, but is absent in the ending. Could be just as much as a hint as could be an animation error.

So did I miss it when the chest in Lion's mane was opened during the previous season? It was open at the end of Rose Buds.

It was also open in the movie. We have no idea what's in it.

So, Snowflake Obsidian is the first pure gem that's voiced by a man? (Since both Steven and Rainbow 2.0 are part human.)

At least one of the pebbles was voiced by Zach.

[up]I think that was the point.

[up][up] Either is probably fine in discussion, if that's what you mean. The important part is whoever reads the name knows who you're talking about.

I am looking forward to the "Volleyball Finds Out About Pearl's Secret Rap Career" video. ;)

Also, I have a feeling that the camp of Pink Diamond's haters has grown even further after the reveal what she did to her Pearl - ignoring that she did it 8000 years ago, 2000 years before she abandoned Spinel.

I haven't gotten the impression things like accurate timelines are a factor in their thinking.

I like Maya Petersen's idea to shorten it to "Volley".


As far as things Pink Diamond did by accident, even the early stages of colonization probably killed thousands of people. So to me all this revelation does it bridge the gap between the scenes on the jungle moon and Pearl's first memory of her.

We need a four Pearl fusion
Then someone better get Deedee Magno-Hall some sulfur hexafluoride.


The premier of Steven Universe: Future ratings almost as good (757k-837k) as "Change Your Mind".

Probably helps that it didn't air on a damn Monday night (989k).

Do you think Steven going pink was effected by him getting hit by the rejuvenator or his general experience in the movie? It happened pretty suddenly, so I'm wondering if it's just supposed to be Jasper that set it off (hence "You brought something out of me I didn't know I had.")
