From watching it, or watching it be your rest?

From watching it.

I have to watch it on my laptop because of it not being on Hulu. Hard to sit still for episodes straight lol.

One thing you might enjoy doing when you're done, is going and watching old theory videos that people made of things that turned out to be true, there's all sorts of them. It has a really active theorist community.

So wait...Lars is literally James Tibirius Kirk?

I wasn't either, but they got the cape right out of it.

Now you get to feel this torture like the rest of us. The episodes you just watched came out on May 7th. New episodes may come later this month. Could be in July. We'll have to wait for a TV, video, or convention announcement.

Damn good show..

QQ Rose is dead? She fell in love with the planet and didn't want to destroy it?.

@Turbam thanks for the link.

We don't have all the answers yet. Pink loved the Earth and it's people. She didn't care for the rules and regulations of the Diamond Authority and so staged the shattering with Pearl. She's part of Steven. We have no idea what could happen if the gem was removed from him.

Meanwhile unknown to the remaining gems after the war the Diamonds had placed the cluster down in the depths.

and there are so many other things you can spot when you look back at particular episodes. The one where Steven finds Rose's junk in the desert. Look close enough and you can spot the fingers from a pink arm shaped ship buried in the sand. Stuff like that.

Neat.

Well I'm at my Dad's over the summer and he has cable so I'm happy for that at least :D.

Was that one of the theories that came true?
---

One of many.

If it interests you at all check out old comic-con panels with the cast. They're rather good (imo anyway).

Of course! Glad I could be of service!

We shouldn't have nearly long a wait as last year.

Same time last year, we were fresh off the heals of the first four episodes of season five, and then nothing. Nothing nothing nothing. We didn't hear a thing for months, and then finally got some new episodes in I wanna say November. It was a really rough hiatus.

And while it was a theory, a lot of people, including myself, seriously didn't buy into it. Not until it all came together at least, and used parts that TONS of people did theorize about too. They left the clues for it, that's one of Sugar's goals. She wants us to have "AHA" moments.

Unfortunately now people are like "Well doesn't that mean the show's gonna be predictable?"

My argument to that is Lion's origins. There were a million and a half theories on it, and I don't remember seeing any about him dying and brought back to life. There were a lot of theories though that he was connected to Pink Diamond somehow, even WAS Pink Diamond, and now I guess we at least know about the connection. Plus you know they briefly killed a character pretty much on screen which I was surprised by.
---

One of the biggest questions still being asked is what's inside the chest on Lion's island.
---

Definitely, plus with how they teased us on it even too. >.<

Also can I just say I love how we knew about the glowing orb on the moon base way back from the very first time we went there? Lapis was using it but it's not the first time we'd seen it. Garnet was all "That's not what we came here for." And so it's really cool to finally find out what it is and stuff. It's just such a small detail but quite frankly really satisfying. Just a tiny detail like that to be addressed so far in the future.
---

Was one of the clues You rarely see Pearl's outside of service to diamonds?.

I'd accept an ending where Pink diamond extracts from Steven. And they're able to live as a family again, and Steven can grow old with Connie.

I listen to an ASMR soft singing to fall asleep (and she sings songs in a low soft voice like a lullaby)..and she's covered a couple Steven Universe songs.

So I looked them up. Loved the animation and the music so I dove into it.

I kinda wish Cheeseburger backpack made more appearances. When they advertised it it was part of his character design lol.
---

Yeah, it has some really amazing songs, I can see why those could bring someone into it.
---

I don't know if you knew this yet, but all of the fusions are voiced by singers.

Which is why they've almost never appeared after their debut episodes, and are silent if they do.
---

I imagine they picked them for ones they wouldn't need very much. They got a singer for Stevonnie, but I'd guess one they knew they could get back plenty.

Hmm, I didn't think that Smoky Quartz was a singer though, just an actress.

It's a really enjoyable show, it really sucks how many people are put off of it by that big incident with some of the fandom, and/or it apparently being too sjw.
---

Yeah, Smoky doesn't have a singer voice actress. But she's the exception.
---

And Yellow Diamond is voiced by a broadway star.
---

Oh, TC, have you listened to Escapism?

It's a song that was promo'd but we don't know who sings it. Everyone was thinking Lapis, but then she got That Distant Shore, so now I'm thinking maybe it was Pink Diamond.
