we're gonna need this tomorrow.

*prepares party equipment*

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.

THIS IS THE STEVEN UNIVERSE PREGAME SHOW ON ESCN, PRESENTED BY CHUCK E. CHEESE'S

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-12 08:08:04

This quickly expanded beyond my control.

Like one of those spongetoys you put in the bathtub and they turn into dinosaur-shaped things.

Anonus · 2016-05-12 08:09:54

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

Anonus · 2016-05-12 08:10:18

Yes, Steven Universe is a sport now

Anonus · 2016-05-12 08:10:51

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

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-12 08:10:56

still a better sport than DOTA.

Anonus · 2016-05-12 08:50:32

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

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-12 08:56:32

Sports Quartz

Amethyst seems like she'd enjoy playing football.

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

Probably in her Purple Puma Persona.

do you think the pads would protect her gem?

What is the actual time the episode airs?

Mandelbrot · 2016-05-12 16:23:30

Is there going to be a marathon of any kind before it happens? cause I've missed a jillion of those already and I'd like to not do that anymore

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

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-12 21:58:45

That's weird.

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

Anonus · 2016-05-12 22:01:17

pony fans come through again

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-12 22:37:05

Half an hour til game time.

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.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-12 22:55:53

Cinema Equestria is playing The Final Countdown this is the best thing of all time.

Tre · 2016-05-12 22:58:08

If you've got a provider that CN's got a partnership with there's a legal stream right here.

well that was the most intense half hour of my life

Tre · 2016-05-12 23:30:06

Anonus · 2016-05-12 23:30:26

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

Anonus · 2016-05-12 23:32:09

Also the Cluster was much creepier than I imagined it'd be

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.

Tre · 2016-05-12 23:54:38

Tre · 2016-05-12 23:54:59

CASUALLY FALLING OFF OF A CLIFF NBD

Anonus · 2016-05-13 00:21:48

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 · 2016-05-13 00:31:32

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

FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION

Section42L · 2016-05-13 02:46:26

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.

Anonus · 2016-05-13 03:08:23

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.

Same here!

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

LOAD Cherry · 2016-05-13 04:34:43

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

Plus side, LAPIS IS OKAY :D

Princess Alice · 2016-05-13 04:48:00

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.

Anonus · 2016-05-13 04:52:53

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
