Was expecting heartbreak, instead got heartwarming. The chemistry between Greg and Rose is off the charts.

That was the cutest ha.I love Greg pure hearted attitude. The few secods with the gems were hilarious to,with garnet "Better make it good" and Pearl trying to impress rose. Also,risk on getting all fan-theory here,Sour-Crem is probably Martin son?Because if i remember he has a step-dad Almost certainly. For one thing, what were they doing in there? Secondly, her name is Vidalia, which is a variety of onion, in addition to Marty's resemblance to Sour Cream. I loved how casually Greg said "He's dead to me" about him. Also, I laughed way too hard at "You fantasize about having one huge woman, when you could have several, smaller women".

Also, I should point out the episode expands a little about Pearl's affections towards Rose, when she gets a little jealous. I don't know that it's necessarily romantic, but at the very least it was obviously a situation where she had a great deal of admiration for her and her standing with Rose was vitally important to her.
Additionally, I knew Rose was big, but she towers over Garnet, even, who is quite tall, and Greg describes her as 8 feet tall. She's probably even bigger than Jasper. No wonder Jasper wanted to fight her.
Rose comes across like she has a good deal more knowledge of humans than the Crystal Gems did, even before her relationship with Greg. I have to wonder how we should take her "You're awfully cute, and I really want to play with you, but..." emphasis being hers. Umm, what do you suppose she meant by that?

Also, I wonder if Marty's been paying that child support. Dude looks like he could be Sour Cream's dad and he looked like he got pretty cozy with that woman in the van.

Wouldn't be shocked given his personality if he is a deadbeat dad. But that's almost certainly Onion and Sour Cream's mom, given her name is Vidalia, a variety of onion.

That's a lovely name with a weird as hell origin.

I have to wonder how we should take her "You're awfully cute, and I really want to play with you, but..." emphasis being hers. Umm, what do you suppose she meant by that? I got more of a vibe that she was less afraid, not so much "knowledgeable" of humans. Pearl's always been afraid of the unknown, afraid of mystery. Amethyst typically isn't, but it comes off more as being naive. Rose just seems to not be afraid, or at least not let that fear show. In the tape to Steven, she seemed she'd come to terms with either her or Steven not existing, whatever those circumstances actually are. Ha! That's awesome. We got a convention here in a few months in KC, and I'm wanting to do a Ronaldo cosplay, complete with a "Keep KCCC (Kansas City Comic Con) Weird" page on Tumblr. I gotta find some way to pull the hair off, but I feel like I'm a dead ringer for everything else and can complete the rest of the outfit with clothes I already have. Just gotta get a white apron from the store I work at and boom!

A few notes:
So it seens that they met when Greg was a Teenager. And Amethyst was also a "teen".So it explains the friendship they had.
Also,iw as afraid they wasn't going to mention the fact that Gems outlive humans,but i'm glad they did even if it was for a second,it was enough.

It's a good show but it's last on my favorite current CN cartoons. Though Gravity Falls is my favorite cartoon right now/one my all time favorites.

Also,Amethyst modern hair seems based on Greg young hair Very likely, especially since all three changed their looks. I wonder if they did so consciously or it was due to regenerating. I know when Pearl got impaled, Garnet and Amethyst said it just happens sometimes, with Amethyst being the one it happens to most often, since she's "scrappy". So odds are during one of those regenerations, she copied his hair.

Also two things more.Rose is much less naive than i expected her to be like.
How did Yellowtail,a sailor that speaks gibberish get with that punk girl?
And Martin wasn't THAT bad,he was kinda douchy and greedy,but at least he saw talent on Greg and didn't treat him like trash.
And Pearl and Garnet really were not that good when treating humans,they really avoided and treated greg over being human.I mean not sayign they were evil,but they really didn't know how treat then

Story for Steven was well worth the wait! I don't know why it never occurred to me before that Greg would have had a manager. I guess because of how he stayed unsigned. Marty was a creep, and it was easy to see why Greg dumped him but I actually liked him. He had a bit of charisma to him despite being sleazy. I'm positive that Marty will be back. The way this episode ended, I know that we're going to get more flashbacks to Greg and the Gems' pasts. Either Marty will appear in the past, or he'll return in the present an antagonist to Greg and Steven somehow. Its more than obvious that he's Sour Cream dad like people have said, so I doubt he's a one shot character.
Funny enough, when I was watching it, I didn't notice Marty's resemblance to Sour Cream. All I focused on were his sharp teeth (what was up with that?) and his voice sounding familiar. If I'm not mistaken, I think that was the guy who played Donatello in the 2K3 Ninja Turtles. That Vidalia lady reminded me of Android 18 from DBZ.

Caught a random episode on earlier and figured what the hell, could stand to finally give the show a look, then wound up watching a bunch of it off On Demand. Not seen most of the most recent episodes and really only seen things from the tail-end of season one to the very beginning of season two, but it's a start. Quite enjoying it.
Though I f***ing refuse to watch the Uncle Grandpa crossover. Just knowing one exists made me seriously consider never looking at this point.
Also, man, the whole set-up with Stephen's mom gives me Gunnerkrigg Court flashbacks. Let's hope this show ends up going in a less horrible child-abusive direction than what Gunnerkrigg's presently doing.
