Finally watching Steven Universe!

Lars of the Stars

0. I like this already just based on the name.

1. I'm already weirded out by the mention of Lars' parents just... accepting this weird, weird situation?

2. Connie already has that huge sword. Why is she ALSO carrying the backpack? She's your friend, not your packmule!

3. Right there with you, Lion is adorable.

4. I am so glad I wasn't spoiled for this, because that would've ruined the effect of them popping out of Lars' head straight into a space battle.

5. But where did he get the cool cape?

6. Hey, Steven wants to know too!

7. Yes, Sadie is happy without you. And you're happy without her. That doesn't mean you don't care about each other. Don't lose any of this hard-won maturity/coolness, Lars!

8. Aaaaand it's gone. Insecure Lars is the worst.

9. Hey, it's Stevonnie! "An Experience" indeed! I forget, has Lars met Stevonnie before?

9. There's the useful Padparadascha we've been waiting for! Not sure I spelled that right, not willing to Google.

10. Way to ruin the fun, cliffhanger!

Jungle Moon

1. Yeah, that'd be what's wrong with the ship.

2. What the hell happened to the planet!?

3. I'm with you, Stevonnie. It's too cute to eat.

4. A gem outpost. How surprising.

5. WHY IS THE FIRE BLUE?

6. Hello, weird dream sequence!

7. That's not her mom, is it?

8. Do gems... grow, like human people do? Because Pink Diamond is acting like a young child.

9. What happened to the colony? It doesn't seem to have been successful.

So that was good. We had a fun, goofy episode and a question-raising episode. And Lars is... well, he's Lars. Thinking on this a bit.

Maybe. Pink Diamond clearly had a temper.

Wait, are we meant to think that Pink Diamond was also involved in the destroyed planet that Stevonnie sees? My interpretation was that the planet was destroyed in the nice orderly way as intended for Earth, and then left to sort of decay. Though it's probably only been 6,000-10,000 years (presumably the dream was not long before the colonization of earth began, maybe it had even already started under Yellow Diamond and then was transferred to Pink Diamond) which is nothing on geologic time scales.

I don't think so. I think this is just about how she ended up with Earth?

[frayadjacent]

yes that's what I thought as well.
