Yeah, given Lapis's comment on how fusion was a prison, I think if she's going to fuse with anyone, it will be the focus of an entire episode and she will fuse with Peridot. Which I do hope becomes a future episode, I know the fanbase has been eagerly awaiting a Lapis/Peridot fusion for years, considering how Future is about tying up loose ends, it would be odd for it to just leave Lapis and Peridot's feelings on fusion unresolved.

That would be really great, I think. As much as the show does include the message that you're not obligated to forgive or keep interacting with your abusers, Lapis's personal arc and journey does involve a lot of that - either with Peridot, as a representative of Homeworld's army (even though Peridot was never in personal command of Lapis, or of any Lapises, I imagine), or Bismuth, as the one who actually put her in the mirror. We've already had some resolution with Peridot with the barn episodes and meepmorps, but honestly, I'll never get tired of episodes about those two, and I do hope we get at least one more.

That said, Onion and Ronaldo both now have more screentime in Future than Connie does, and that's a goddamn travesty.

I have wondered if we'll see more of Connie, Sadie, and Lars after "Little Graduation", after which Little Homeschool will probably be less prominent.

I just realized; why did they add Peridot to the "Featured Voices" section in the credits but still have Lapis as an "Additional Voice"?

or Bismuth, as the one who actually put her in the mirror.

Maybe I missed something, but has the show actually acknowledged that beyond the one flashback scene in Same Old World?

It's weird, really. The gem in that flashback was clearly meant to be Bismuth (those rainbow dreads are unmistakable), but I don't think either of them have brought it up since.

Bismuth poofed her, but some other Gem found her and put her in the mirror.

Ah.

I guess it's possible that Lapis didn't get a good look at Bismuth before she got poofed. As for Bismuth... she probably poofed dozens of gems that day.

Still, it seems weird that they would throw in that detail if it wasn't going to affect the plot in any way.

Even if she did get a good look, she would have seen "a Bismuth" poof her. She wouldn't necessarily know that the CG Bismuth was the exact Bismuth that poofed her. Would she? No, I'm seriously asking, because Gems seem to be able to tell other gems of the same type apart really easily.

Well, some can and some can't. Just ask Yellow Diamond.

I think Rebecca Sugar said neither of them remembers that this was the first time they met.

Which inuniverse makes sense but it raises the question why they decided that it happened this way when they dont intend to do anything with it anyway. Feels like a waste of potential drama.

I dunno. I mean, Bismuth would probably feel real bad about it if she found out now.

Anyway, Crewniverse holiday card from 2017. Talk about Mundane Utility.

In which White subsumes the wills of all Gem-kind in order to force everyone to sing Christmas carols.

Truly, this is the jolliest timeline.

We can only guess how much they'll have in Future, but in the original series Peridot probably had considerably more screentime overall.

It's something that only circulated among the show's crew. They have all kinds of stuff like that—someone made a shirt that showed off Steven's full gem half a decade before finding out what that really meant.

Is Future only these 10 episodes or will there be more?

#60044: Dec 23rd 2019 at 8:14:33 PM

It's certainly more. The opening alone shows two threats (Violent White Diamond and the red thing) while Maya Petersen mentioned boarding a Peridot-focused episode, none of which next two episodes ("Little Graduation" and "Prickly Pair") seem to be about.

Back on to why Shelby Rabara is now credited under “Featured Voices”, it might also be in recognition of all the promotional work she’s done for the show.

[up]Or she's "featured" because she sings one line in the theme song which appears before every episode.

#60048: Dec 24th 2019 at 9:31:32 AM

That explanation doesn't work though because Bismuth and Lapis also sing in the theme song.

Greg also sang a line in the second opening without Tom Scharpling getting the same credit.

Bismuth and Lapis only sing together with the others, they don't have a solo line. But Greg indeed did in the old theme without getting the same billing.
