And while many people sing praises of the Gems.I have to give props to steven character,he is the ideal goody-two shoes character. Thought not completely immune to negative feeling.
I do hope one day there is an episode where Steven asks if Pearl ever resented him over the "death" of Rose.

I hope there's also a new episode next week. Today's episode was clearly foreshadowing Jasper breaking out. I knew they wouldn't introduce her then permanently write her off. Yeah, doubting we've seen the last of Jasper and Lapis by any means.

I do hope one day there is an episode where Steven asks if Pearl ever resented him over the "death" of Rose. He did say in Joy Ride that he isn't sure if they blame him for his mom not being around, but it isn't just Pearl, his worries involved the others as well. I think she misses Rose, obviously, but he is still tremendously important to her. Like in Coach Steven, we can definitely see that it is super important to her to be able to guide him and be an example to him, and in The Test and Fusion Cuisine, she is very touched when he compliments her and all. Betting at some point, we're going to get more answers on that whole thing.

Pearl's feelings about Steven are obviously very complex. There's no doubt she loves him, but he's still a living, breathing reminder that someone she loved for thousands of years is gone. Rose understood (or at least tried to) humans in a way Pearl still struggles with. She's still probably trying to come to terms with Rose's decision to create Steven. But her love for Steven below her cope with these things. Her being more accepting of Greg is an example of this.

I absolutely loved Steven Bomb 2, it had every end of the spectrum in terms of writing, happy, sad, confusion, anger, disgust, all done right and all done so well. The last episode couldn't have been better, I don't think an episode of a show has had me laughing and feeling in such a flux ever... We wait until July to see more, but at least it will be a whole week again, they know what they're doing over there. CN is making this summer huge, and I am just so glad again this Thread has only gotten more and more active with FAN users who are discovering and loving the show FAN Believes in Steven, and I am so glad they do.

Way that is why i said in the past,i know that at the present is like that,but not right after steve was born

So I'm caught up now, finished the last episodes this morning (the Uncle Grandpa crossover was as good a place as any to take a break). So my random impressions so far:
- I'm sure the show gets a lot of comparison's to Adventure Time, I do want to say that I think the way SU handles the serious aspects is, overall, a lot better. When Adventure Time did it's first few serious episodes, they came completely out of nowhere because nothing in the other episodes really hints as the drastic tone shift the show can take. And while that's good for shocking moments, it makes it feel really disjointed at times, especially when they've started doing more serious episodes in the show. In Steven Universe, there's that serious sort of undertone spread throughout, so the more serious episodes don't seem so out of place. Even in a less serious episode, you'll still get moments of world building or character development that hints at a darker tone (such as Amethyst's reasons for wrestling). I like that they sort of let the backstories unfold more organically rather than just dumping it all at once.
- On the same note, I like how they obviously put a lot of planning into how teh characters would develop and secrets would be revealed from the start. Just little things, like the Gems' changing attitudes toward Greg and why Garnet has 2 gems. Future events explained why, for example, Sugilite was such a hotheaded entity and why Garnet's personality didn't temper Amethyst's.
- I love how nonplussed everyone is about the weird thing in the world. In any other hands, the Crystal Gems would have to be extremely secretive and try to keep humans unaware of what they do, for fear that it'd destroy their world view and warp their minds. Here, everyone knows and doesn't have too much of a reaction to it. They'd rather go without the magical battles, but it's not a big secret what's going on, so there's no need to waste time on cliches about that.
- Speaking of avoiding cliches, I love how uncomplicated Steven's relationship with Connie is. They basically establish that they like each other from the start (so yay, no unrequited affection stories, I'm looking at you every single show with a romantic subplot), and each time they appear together it just further strengthens the bonds they have. The one time it looked like they'd go the cliche route with him wanting to protect her, they subvert it by having Steven be way too soft and nice to go through with it.
- The personalities of all the characters go really well together and play off each other perfectly. Honestly, the only character that seems out of place in the entire show is Ronaldo, which is the joke. The Gems personalities all make sense with their various backstories, and Steven's rounds out the Gem trio, giving them not only a link to humanity but providing the team with joy and an unbridled optimism that none of the other teammates have. Yet none of them come off as one-note to me.
- Garnet is awesome.
- f*** Onion
- Only when I was typing this post did I get the Sour Cream and Onion joke. Damn puns.

For those who want to know Sardonyx is indeed a Gem and this is what is essentially looks like
Now the question becomes... Friend or Foe? And considering this is a WEEK of Sardonyx?? Sounds like we're getting more than one episode featuring this character... all I know is, FANDOM. PREPARE THYSELVES.

It could be a different gem in its own right, could be a fusion. Hard to say.

From the colors of the gem, I think it may possibly be a fusion between Pearl and Garnet, but we'll just have to(and I know how much FAN hates this phrase) wait and see.

I'd love to see that fusion, especially because she probably will have an awesome weapon. Thinking maybe either a warhammer with a pick on it, or something like a pile bunker, to combine a punch with some kind of piercing. Would be interesting.

I love "Giant Women" and "Strong in the Real way" they are just so catchy. On other matters I want to cosplay Pearl I think that outfit is really cute though I would longer pants/shorts. Also wouldn't mind wearing a dress like Lapis Lazuli.

Also wouldn't mind wearing a dress like Lapis Lazuli. both those songs are probably near the top of the series for me. It'd probably be Stronger than you, Strong in the Real Way, Full Disclosure, Be Wherever you Are, and Giant Woman.

Got caught up on the new stuff earlier today, wasn't aware of them running all this new stuff out of the blue so got caught up off On Demand. Main things that come to mind - prefer the new opening video but not as much the new version of the theme (though is still catchy), and I want to see way more Peridot.
