Okay, the new episode, I got a huge laugh out of the Purple Rain/Pizza Rain gag. In addition, no longer grounded!
The cool kids are growing on me. That said, Steven saying that he thinks the Crystal Gems blame him for his mother being gone is just heartbreaking. I really hope that they talk it out, but as it stands, I think Garnet is the only one who hasn't accidentally slipped and said anything without thinking of how Steven would take it, in regards to Rose. Amethyst's tirade against Greg was heard by Steven, about how she had someone always there for her until Greg was in the picture, and Pearl's "YOU NEVER EVEN MET HER!" to Steven, which I can only imagine she deeply regrets.
Buck Dewey was right. Steven is a champ. All of this, and he's still got it together.

The more I watch this show, the more I like it. The first few times I saw it, I thought it wasn't really my cup of tea, but I appreciated its uniqueness and hoped it would be successful. Now I actively look forward to seeing it on TV. It's just a supremely well-balanced cartoon. Talented VAs, great artistic direction, good character writing, and neither overly serious nor overly silly.
I'd be really surprised and terribly disappointed if this one doesn't last for the long haul.

I imagine that will come up somewhere next season. Yeah, it's sad that Steven feels that way but its something a number of kids out there can relate to in some way.
I'm glad we got to see the Cool Kids again. I already liked them from their last appearance, so it was nice seeing another episode with them. There's another episode with Buck Dewey coming up, so we're sure to see more of them next season. It didn't hit me until this episode that the Cool Kids are the human counterparts to the Crystal Gems. Buck talks exactly in the same way as Garnet does while also wearing shades, Jenny's personality is a lot similar to Amethyst's, and Sour Cream has the same complexion and nose as Pearl. They even stand next to their respective equivalent in the selfies at the end! There's just no end to the deep layers the writers put into this show.

So the next episode...this is happening: #ItHappens But seriously I don't watch either show regularly , but from what I've seen of both these shows seem nothing alike and I wonder how they plan on making it work.

Yeh,i first saw about SU when they annoucne the plans for the crossover some time ago,and a clip of both shows.
Just by association i wanted to avoid SU since Uncle Grandpa is so bad(for me).But then i gave it a try...ende dup watching all episodes in two days.
No doubt an other show to the great age of Cartoons we are,very unique too and full of emotional moment which i love.
My favourite would be no doubt Pearl,she is just awesome,tough Lapis if she appear more may take the spot.
I also love Greg and Steven,Greg is so different from other cartoon dads and really cool too.

He's kind of a mess, as Amethyst puts it, but I get the feeling he likes living like he does for the most part. He cares deeply about Steven and helping him in any way he can, though, and I like that it comes across. I saw this and had a huge laugh. Anyone who has seen the Nigahiga video "Things that Ruin Thanksgiving" will get this joke.

The Steven Universe/Uncle Grandpa Episode was fantastically done
Not only did they put everyone at ease straight away making it Non Canon, but in doing so they had free range to do almost anything they wanted, including
- Sink a "ship" with a "Head Cannon" - Eat Pizza Steve (Thank you) - Shout out the creators, the theorists, and the Tumblr Heads by Mr. Gus on top of the OC's that are made - Make the Gems go a little crazy but at the same time, it's non canon, so it's ok, it's funny, it's wacky, and for Pearl, it was hilarious, her Voice Actor had the time of her life - Show the ending list with all the old CN Shows and even hint at a Clarence Crossover
Uncle Grandpa is what it is, it has moments, but it's random, uncaring, insanity most of the time. I enjoyed how the characters were used and his chaos really worked in the end with the Confused Gems and the willing Steven. Also, for a prank episode, the moral was actually really strong in this one, it's ok to be weird and different, and it's not something to be immediately shunned and or attacked.
I am convinced Rebecca Sugar just cannot miss. She wanted this crossover, she got it, her crew wrote Uncle Grandpa and honestly gave him some of his best work as a character, and overall, I loved this ALOT. It was a nice fun break from the roller coaster Steven has been. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first heard about it, but now I can say, thank you Rebecca, you never cease to amaze me.

So, some people are already chatting about the preview for the next episode, with many sort of fawning over younger Greg Universe's looks, but a lot of the comments have been like "Oh, I see why she'd fall for Greg".
Like, it's kind of a shitty thing to say anyway, in how shallow it is, but we're talking about Rose here. That goes completely against basically everything we've learned about her and who she was. I'm sure she probably thought he was cute and the like, but it's far more likely she liked him for the same reason many fans do. Greg is a very caring person who has a great deal of optimism and positive energy, not unlike her.

I just binged-watched the whole show on Amazon and hot damn, this might be my favorite show on all of tv. The designs are gorgeous and the music feels perfect for every scene it's in; there's moments and episodes where nothing plot-related happens, but it never feels like filler.
I just wanna consume everything related to this show: the comics, the mobile game, EVERYTHING!

ok um I avoided this show forever because my initial encounters with the SU fandom were really negative... seriously someone I used to respect actually insinuated only people of nonbinary gender should be allowed to watch it and I was like... NO
they and one other person actually ganged up on someone who wanted to start a fansite and gave them a panic attack so yeah
wasn't until recently I found actual good people who watch it. So I gave a random episode a watch maybe a week ago... it came off as really odd because I hadn't been following along or anything so I was horribly out of the loop. However I must say I really like Pearl.
I'm going to keep watching, and I'll start with the earlier episodes and try to catch up soon hopefully.
