  As I've pretty much caught up with the entire show and now know what's been going on and everything important about the show (e.g. The gem war, the cluster, Garnet being best gem, etc) I can now waltz right into any SU thread and act as if I know lots of things about some dumb cartoon people watch and have everyone around me think I'm being a huge idiot about it.

  That's what happens when you bring these threads into the domain of the master of televised sports, and corporate cross-promotion, and puffing up the audience so I can charge more for commercial spots

  You know the Diamonds probably make defective (overly-aggressive in this case) Rubies fight each other to the death for amusement

  Now I'm wondering if they could grow a bunch of Quartzes to play spectator sports, but I imagine Homeworld finds the very notion wasteful and absurd

  Amethyst seems like she'd enjoy playing football.

  
  

  Pearl would probably berate her for not going easy on the human players, though.

  It turns out that PlayStation Vue for some reason carries only the Pacific feed of Cartoon Network, therefore delaying the episodes three hours for me

  If you have a decent internet connection Cinema Equestria will probably be streaming it.

  The National Weather Service reports that CN's Headquarters in Atlanta (the same place that Desiigner has broads) is currently experiencing intermittent thunderstorms, and a high of 84.

  maybe it's because I didn't have the year's worth of buildup but it feels like the Cluster and Malachite arcs ended so fast

  
  

  also the Watermelon Stevens are never allowed a happy ending

• Tre

  2016-05-12 23:40:28

  
  

  My thing was that I was expecting the Cluster itself to be an eldritch abomination type thing, though I guess such a thing wouldn't have really been a tonal fit.

  
  

  Steven's freakouts made me worry that he was going to recede into his Gem for a bit, though, so if anything jumped out as particularly intense to me it was that.

  I was wondering if the Cluster would at all resemble the Greedy from Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure in how it moved, but this show is made on a TV budget and schedule so that might have been too much for that
• Haven

  I'm just going to cry forever over Steven thinking he was going to die and saying "I love you Peridot" and also the very end of Super Watermelon Island for similar reasons

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  You know, I find it a huge shame that the spoilers ruined the whole "giving the episode a deliberately nondescript name and beginning it like a filler episode" distraction tactic.

  that is too bad

  
  

  though I also inferred it from reading somewhere that Malachite looked like a watermelon, hence the episode title

  
  

  also did anyone else get Harry Potter vibes from this?

  See, this is why I avoided the teasers and stuff. I thought it was going to be "Part 1: watermelon fun time, Part 2: Journey to the Center of the Earth" but then 3 minutes in I just went nuts.

  I knew Malachite was coming back, but I didn't expect it to be that soon.

  Old Problems:

  • Malachite's a thing still
  • The cluster's gonna blow up Earth
  • Yellow Diamond's pissed off

  New Problems:

  • Jasper's unaccounted for

  Spoiler:

  I like how Steven's like "I can bubble you!" and starts bubbling individual shards and we're all thinking "oh, naive little Steven, how cute" and then that turns out to ACTUALLY BE THE SOLUTION.

  Someone on /co/ theorized to a degree that is probably not very serious that Jasper will pop the Cluster's bubble

  
  

  Still, I won't count Jasper, or the Cluster, out
