So that's 3 episodes of different types of reactions to the bombshell. Seems to have resolved now at least in the short term, so curious what's next.

With Ruby's comments in the episode, I wonder if we might see Sapphire and her hanging out more as individuals, rather than staying fused as Garnet almost all the time.

The end of this episode was cute, but the thing which made me choke up was Ruby stroking her empty palm.

Also Amethyst looks really cool as a horse.

Sapphire resting her head on Ruby's poofy afro is adorable

I get the feeling the corruption problem is going to be developed, maybe even solved, soon. I just think seeing Biggs in this episode was not quite necessary but maybe served as a reminder to the audience "hey just keep it in your mind that all these gems are corrupted while we go get something ready."

Torn on if I want to see the old gems un-corrupted.

I mean, of course Steven would try (we saw him try to befriend one), but it seems like hitting a big reset on how badly Rose screwed up.

My predictions for tonight:


I think these last two episodes are going to be 20 minutes of wedding and then 2 minutes of drama leading up to "TO BE CONTINUED". Then cartoon network won't schedule the next part until it's almost Christmas.

I bet Bismuth planted the big idea in Rose's head.

"If we shatter Pink Diamond, we'll end the war and free Earth!"

Rose: Actually no let's not shatter Pink... ... :ponder:


E: Sapphire's trust in Rose led her to never look into her, which caused a lot of grief. Yet she still trusts Steven enough to not look into what he does (e.g. Bismuth was a surprise to her). Not sure if sweet or risking making the same mistake twice.

Though it's not like Steven would have sinister motives. You couldn't make him sinister if you gave him a cape, a top hat, and a handlebar mustache.

And a cane. Gotta have the cane.

That was an amazing half an episode.

So what's left? Season 6 is going to start with dealing with Blue/Yellow's actions now that they're listening. Lapis even came back rushed this episode. The only hook I think is left is White Diamond. Pearl was loaned to Pink by her. Who is White?

Also, lol another Pink Diamond superpower deus ex machina to get out of the situation. (not really complaining, but it's a trope in the series at this point)

Lapis' return didn't seem rushed. She would have seen the ships coming, and at that point she needed to make a choice to flee, or to help her friends.

We're definitely wrapping up here, but there's some openings I'm aware of.

The off colours and Lars are still out in space proselytizing for the Crystal gems and fighting off Emerald. The real hook is the idea that there are gems in space that need to either see a change in Homeworld society or find sanctuary somewhere like Earth. Solving that hook could be as easy as Blue and Yellow saying "we'll be nice from now on" after their chat with Steven/Rose/Pink Diamond. It could also be complicated, and might even be complicated by whoever White Diamond is.

There's hints of trouble for Homeworld society. We got talk of a resource shortage, and the whole place looked dilapidated below surface level. The jungle moon which should have been a colony looked abandoned and overgrown. I don't think this hook needs to be resolved but it's a potential opening for more story.

There's the corruption but my money is still on that being solved very soon. Again there was no reason to bring Biggs into the previous episode unless they needed to remind us about the corruption. Now that Blue and Yellow are at the table, this is the perfect chance to ask if they can do something about this. It is another piece of the puzzle which might be complicated by White Diamond.

As for the shattered gems and the stray forced fusion experiments: I'm betting not everything can be fixed.

Oh and there's a chest in Lion's mane that needs opening.

If she didn't see the ships coming she would have been watching the wedding from the orb on the moon. Also it was a significant moment for her to choose to face the diamonds when they actually arrived.

I wonder what caused the Diamonds to finally do their own dirty work? Even if they wanted to arrive on Earth themselves, they seem to have done so alone rather than with a fleet.

It could just be convenience for plots sake, or maybe the sky is currently twinkling with the light of the sun bouncing off the underbelly of a thousand gem ships and we've just not noticed them as apart from the stars.

I think they came specifically to retrieve the cluster and say goodbye to Pink's colony/watch the Earth be destroyed. They weren't expecting a fight.

Looking at that preview video, it doesn't look like we're getting a new look for Garnet. I wasn't expecting her to keep the Tuxedo Dress, but I thought it would be an important enough moment where she changes her look.

What else could it have been? They didn't go to the Temple, they weren't looking for the Crystal Gems. They just wanted the Cluster and to be done with the planet. They weren't looking to personally see the demise the Crystal Gems, just the planet where Pink died.

I just don't see why they'd go to the risk of shaking up a planet destroyer themselves, or attending a planet where gems keep going missing. Also how, given their status, they actually got their giant hands dirty.

I actually can't tell if you mean their regular hands or their giant spaceship hands.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next. It seems like the story might be over... But you just know White Diamond isn't going to be happy with this.

Yes and also their figurative hands in the expression "to get your hands dirty".

Great song... I loved how it started melancholy then switched to major.

Peridot in a dress was adorable

I so was not expecting the arm wrestling. Cluster is the best member of the crystal gems

I loved how Garnets crawled to Blue and clutched at her legs, just to prevent the future of her stepping 3 steps over and allow Lapis to drop a house on her head

Yellow NARUTO running

Yellow CBA remembering any insignificant Peridot of her Court, but blue... She not only recognized lapis lazuli but she also recognized Sapphire and Ruby with in garnet

The mindscape battle was rather interesting. It looks like yellow internalizes a whole lot more grief then originally thought to have. She actually directly blames herself for Pink's shattering

And I absolutely loved the look of concern that blue and yellow hadt staring down at Steven I was actually kind of funny. And definitely like how yellow doesn't or didn't sucking on a lemon at that moment like she always does

"Does every gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?!"

Let's see, how many gems have come to Earth in this show and not gone to Steven's side? There's the Rubies, Aquamarine, Topaz (sort of). Anyone else?

While she didn't join Steven's side, she did technically turn traitor by turning her backs on the diamonds and doing her own thing.

Since Lapis and Peridot got poofed, does that mean we’ll get to see them reform in snazzy new Crystal Gem outfits? :ponder:
