My sympathies generally lean towards Pearl, since dedication to the point of obsession hits my buttons with a bleeding jackhammer, but I'm not surprised that Amethyst's raging inferiority complex and need for attention hits buttons a little bit too hard for some people.
Amethyst is definitely my second favorite, in terms of Crystal Gems, and third overall in terms of Gems.
Garnet is too opaque most of the time to get my vote, and too in control for the rest of it. She has her moments, but they're kind of too far apart for me
Connie is adorable, and her and Steven's whole thing is wonderful, even as just a super-close friendship, but I lean a bit more towards Sadie and Lars. Largely because Lars is a terrible person, and Sadie's also gradually becoming a worse person to keep up with him. It's not a question of 'Will They, Won't They'. It's a question of how extensive the collateral damage will be to the both of them.

I wonder...do you think they'll get a new opening EVERY time all three Gems regenerate?
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I'm so very happy about it. And it does show them changing, the Gems growing closer to Steven, Steven prominently shown with his shield (Jamie's still sitting there, moping), Greg is rediscovering his groove, as well as Connie and Lion now pretty much part of the family.

Well, and something relevant changing with Steven and Connie--as this episode demonstrated he's using his shield a lot easier (it was still a Moment, but this is the first time he sustained it) and, of course, Connie hauling around Rose's sword (and the book, still).

I like how, in the orignal into, Connie just stands by passively staring on as Greg drives by, but in the new intro she runs off after him because she's friends with Steven now.

I'm also going through the /co/ thread and I'm amazed at all the people who think that Gems would fight with conventional military tactics of "fill that gap with lots of men and bullets."
I personally see them more like war-bands, multiple specialists centering around a war-chief (Rose) that prize resourcefulness and individualism and the ability to accomplish multiple tasks.
I'm also amazed at all the people who claim that Rose isn't fat.
[12:38:17 AM] Carlos: poor pearl [12:38:39 AM] Carlos: But Connie and Steven fighting together was awesome. [12:44:25 AM] Magic Jane: pearl's got some issues yep [12:44:45 AM] Carlos: I wanna give the poor gem a hug [12:50:03 AM] Magic Jane: me too [12:50:09 AM] Magic Jane: I think a thing with Pearl [12:50:19 AM] Magic Jane: consider that Rose Quartz only "died" like upwards of a decade ago [12:50:28 AM] Magic Jane: and then consider that gems are thousands of years old at youngest [12:50:30 AM | Edited 12:50:40 AM] Magic Jane: in gem time [12:50:36 AM] Magic Jane: a decade ago might as well have been last week [12:50:40 AM] Carlos: wow [12:50:42 AM] Carlos: you [12:50:46 AM] Carlos: are really right [12:51:18 AM] Magic Jane: furthermore, I think Pearl's situation (and Amethyst's if we remember "Maximum Capacity") actually bring some of Rose's own flaws to light [12:51:34 AM] Carlos: Which one was maximum capacity again? [12:51:48 AM] Magic Jane: the one where they clean out Greg's storage shed [12:52:12 AM] Carlos: Right [12:52:31 AM] Carlos: What do you mean, may I ask? [12:52:49 AM] Magic Jane: consider that this is a woman (well, gem) that professes to love everyone and everything. Indeed she well might've [12:53:10 AM] Magic Jane: did she really [12:53:11 AM] Magic Jane: get [12:53:17 AM] Magic Jane: how she affected Pearl and Amethyst? [12:53:27 AM] Magic Jane: we've never seen her interact with them so we don't really know [12:53:35 AM] Carlos: hm [12:53:40 AM] Carlos: You might have a point [12:53:41 AM] Magic Jane: but it's something to think about. [12:53:44 AM] Carlos: maybe Rose was loving [12:54:08 AM | Edited 12:54:16 AM] Carlos: but not very good with recognizing peoples' emotions unless they more or less came out and said it [12:54:36 AM] Carlos: Like, Greg wooed her pretty much by being up front with his feelings [12:54:42 AM] Magic Jane: yes [12:55:04 AM] Carlos: But Pearl, who was too busy being selfless and devoted to the point of senseless sacrifice [12:55:23 AM] Carlos: and Amethyst who does not like thinking about herself or analyzing her own emotions [12:55:37 AM] Carlos: probably never told Rose exactly how they felt about her
I don't think anything about gem military tactics would be conventional, not with their abilities, but it's really hard to say. In fact, I'd say "what the war was actually like" counts as an ongoing mystery in and of itself.
It sorta flew by amidst everything else going on in this episode, but Pearl referred to the arena she was training Connie in as one of the first battlefields in the war. I can imagine the opening of the war as sudden, confused skirmishes--individual warriors deciding their allegiances very quickly--that gradually escalated as the sides coalesced and solidified, culminating in the large-scale battle that left all those giant weapons lying around.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I like to think that Rose was loving, but hardly able to fix everyone. At some point, she probably knew. But she didn't feel that she could do anything about it. "I don't want to hurt you," or something like that. Too close.

I don't use the expression "hit me in the feels" lightly, but my GOD did "Keeping It Together" qualify.
