honestly it's cool to have it at a place where the plot is moving foooorward.

honestly out of the 49 episodes (not as odd of a number once you take into account that the batch of shorts and the two half hour specials eat up 3 of the 52 episode slots), only like 15-ish of the eps could be considered "not moving the plot forward" (and even then some of them has stuff that comes up later), and that's honestly not a bad number considering they're not consecutive (though they are mostly in the first half, aka what's called "season 4")

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
That was amazing and I can't wait for whenever the gently caress the next one airs.

Also it's cool that The Diamond's don't have weapons because they don't need them. They attack in completely unique ways with their bare hands and energy beams.

I wonder if the writers of this episode are fans of One Piece because that Lapis' "I've felt worse" moment reminded me heavily of Usopp's "I'm already negative!" when facing Perona.

I think he was just knocked out and doing his dream powers harder than usual. Unless you consider being knocked out to be the human version of being poofed.

Given how much this show references anime all over the place I'm willing to bet it was an intentional bit.

In a half-hour of surprises, none were bigger than the diamonds disavowing knowledge of what corruption was. I guess we're going to be throwing this on the still-not-appearing-in-this-show White, then?

I can tell you that.

It's going to have a bedroom for Greg. It's way past time. Greg living in his van is a relic of the time when he and the gems didn't get along (man, that seems like ages ago).

In retrospect, the real reason Greg lives in a van and hasn't at least rented a place probably comes down to "Greg doesn't want a house of his own; he wants to live with his son."

Considering the house has taken significant amounts of damage in the past I won't be surprised if they just rebuild it as is.

To make the scheduling that much more painful!

Non double-posting edit: So, Steven has these psychic dream powers, and as far as I remember nothing we've seen suggested that Rose/Pink had any powers like that? It's interesting that Steven has a unique diamond-scale power all of his own. It kind of makes me think of how Garnet's powers aren't just Ruby's+Sapphire's powers. Steven isn't a fusion, exactly, but he also sort of is? In some sense, he's the physical existence of Rose and Greg's relationship; he's different than just Rose reformed.

So I haven't actually looked at the extended linked preview, but if the corruption was a failure from the Diamonds' actual attempt at mass genocide, maybe they'll just smile to themselves and say, "Let's pick up where we left off," and shatter Centipeetle. Blue, for all the sympathy she's being played up for, is still the Gem that wanted to destroy Ruby for fusing with Sapphire.

I straight up yelled YES irl when Lapis showed up. What an episode. Everyone came back like I said with the exception of Lars' crew, I really expected them to make a last minute appearance.

What a loving cruel place to put a cliffhanger, especially with that promo right after! The episode could be fuckin months from now!!

Lapis and Pearl are gonna reform with stars on them, calling it right now

We still don't know who sings escapism.

There have now been four other songs released since it was first premiered.

I don't know why this bugs me so much.

What's the deal with that song!? What does it mean!?!?

Yeah I figured that was Steven being "poofed" which is what made it so interesting.

Willing to bet this may be how he uncorrupts the other gems....

Wait is that the leak everyone was bitching about a bit back? I never looked up what that leak was cause I thought it was some series finale leak.

I looked up that leak way after CN deleted it, and I could never figure out why people were freaking the gently caress out. It just seemed like, okay, so Blue and Yellow come to Earth and are kinda sorta on good terms with the CGs. Sounded like an interesting plot point to me. Let's see just how quickly things can go to hell, because you KNOW that peace ain't gonna last.
