I really enjoyed these episodes!! Can't wait till next week!!

I'm avoiding spoilers after I spoiled myself on Garnet when I marathoned the series, so it's hard to think about what comes next

Malachite looks really nice. I'm actually gonna miss her. And dammit, Jasper is gone again ><

So you don't want to be spoiled? I says I got a treat for you guys!

Don't worry, She will return in some form. But at least Lapis will get her own character development I think!

5 bucks say Jasper is gonna make her way down to the cluster somehow and fuck shit up. Somehow.

Anyway yeah that was pretty great.

I know Jasper will return. She wouldn't be killed off so unceremoniously
I'm just curious about what will happen when she comes back. Has Homeworld's stance on fusion changed in the past 5000 years? After all, she has admitted that she sees the value in the tactic, despite it being seen as an abomination when Garnet first did it. Will Yellow Diamond's next fleet (It's kind of inevitable that she'd send someone down to stop Peridot) accept someone willing to do what was formerly seen as unthinkable?

I'm betting that HW Gems view fusion as an abomination because of the failed experiments. They think that if the experiments failed under supervision then it mustn't be something that should exist. If you can't force it to work in some form or fashion, it must be defective and destroyed/left to perish on its own.

And that if it happens naturally, under various conditions, like Garnet, then it must be freakish mutation. And that is something that can't be allowed. Like humans, in a sense, the Gems fear what they cannot understand and control.

Jasper is in a rough spot, then...Well, literally and figuratively
The Crystal Gems have no reason to not fight and bubble Jasper when she re-emerges, while the Homeworld Gems probably don't have much respect for the veteran who is willing to use detestable and disgusting tactics (Even by Homeworld standards) to achieve victory, so she'll probably be shattered by them.

Home girl is in a bit of a predicament.

Episodes 5-8:

5: Well that was pointless...wouldn't have been if we had gotten to hear what pearl said about the crystal. Also, another case of "I don't like being involved in the family business!" Just. Steven...stop being stupid, and for the love of all that is holy and good, put on some pants.

6: Oh thank God! He's wearing pants! This one was also kinda pointless, but some of the jokes were nice, though the cat fingers were kinda horrifying. It was nice to see Steven interacting with his dad more, though I worry for that man's skin.

7: Oh look it's Connie. She's neat. I also think this episode had some good jokes, especially involving Garnet, she's a really good straightman. I just feel really bad for that man's boat. By the way, it seemed implied that Connie isn't from Beach City, and she just kinda accepts the fact that Steven is magic. That's kinda weird. Also, I still wish I knew more about Garnet as a character, so far She's just been the straightman for Pearl and Amethyst. Like, I know it comes later once she de-fuses, but still. Anyway another cute episode, I liked Connie and Steven's interactions. Oh yeah, and Lars is kind of an immature jerk...just wanted to throw that out there.

8: Oh look! LORE!!! But not very much...also, dangerous temple is dangerous. I was really hoping that the thing at the beginning would lead somewhere, but instead it was a bait and switch...way to blueball a guy Steven Universe. This episode was also cute. I like seeing Steven and all the Gems interact with eachother. They all play really nice off one another, and I'm amazed at how well the writers make them feel like a family this early on. They're stepping up the humor as well, which I like.

Though, I gotta say. The animation can be kinda rough sometimes...ESPECIALLY regarding Pearl. I don't recall is it was this one, or Bubble Buddies, but I remember one scene where Pearl's proportions were all messed up, only for her to raise her arms and for it to get worse, since she became Slenderman all of the sudden.

Yeah, I still don't get what all the hubbub is about. So far, I just think it's a nice, cute little show. I don't get why the entire internet is all like "OMG THIS IS THE PINNACLE OF CARTOONS! NOTHING CAN EVER TOP THIS!" Like, it's nice. I like it (Happy, Matrixbeast?) but I'm not seeing "greatest cartoon of all time" here. I guess we'll see when I go through the rest of season 1.

[Matrixbeast]

Oh hey, you watched more episodes!
I guess that 1 episode of Gurren Lagann under my belt won't cut it anymore x3

Cat Fingers is fun for straight up strange imagery. It's awsome~

As for Connie just accepting that Steven having magic, just roll with it. At 11 minutes an episode, irrelevant details have to be cut
Concerning Garnet, you actually learn a lot about her in season 1. While she is a lot more subdued and quieter, she gets some pretty solid characterization.

And don't worry, don't worry. You're getting to the point where plot points will start connecting and you can start to piece together the a story.
Glad to know you're liking it! I makes me happy to know that the animation and design isn't still making you projectile vomit!

[Matrixbeast]

Well, the 3 leaked episodes were neat (I think America is now only one week behind).

And mission complete. I managed to get Sideswipe to enjoy the series, rather than watch is as part of a bargain~
