The “leaked credits” for The Trial? It was a pretty elaborate fake. SULeaks brought up that the music used in the credits was actually a popular fan remix. I also noticed that Aquamarine was on the list even though she left during Stuck Together while Blue Diamond’s name was completely absent.
If all of these episodes are airing on the same day, we’re going to get leaks of the first two minutes and screenshots of each one ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
There was this interview with Rebecca Sugar from TheWrap. The section about Jasper was really interesting in particular:
After she’s defeated by Steven and Amethyst, Jasper refuses
the help that Steven gave to previous adversaries like Peridot and
Lapis. Why is that?
Jasper is very different than Peridot and Lapis. Unlike them, she has
a deep hate for herself because of her origins on Earth. She is
determined to never be weak or vulnerable. So at the point when she’s
the lowest, there’s no way she’d ever accept help, because she believes
she doesn’t deserve it.
Peridot and Lapis both believed they deserved better than what
happened to them, but not Jasper. She went back to Earth to face her
demons, and she lost. She’s consumed by her own self pity.
I saw your comment on the 1 year anniversary of Super Watermelon Island, you said that we haven't seen Jasper in a year, except that there was an entire arc around her during the summer?
Alone at Sea (gets booped back into the ocean by Lapis), Gem Hunt (punches a beast and gloats for a few seconds), Crack the Whip, Beta (at the very end), and Earthlings were the only episodes really focused on Jasper herself.
I don’t know, I just think the show needs a little more Jasper screentime after how important of a character she was hyped up to be since The Return, and ESPECIALLY after her screaming about Pink Diamond. That alone got me more interested in her backstory.
I hope that they didn’t completely forget about Jasper.
I’m not sure how much of the show is left, but I honestly hope that they don’t keep Jasper corrupted and bubbled for the remainder of the show. It’d be nice for them to go back to her at some point. She has a lot of potential for more character development.
I hope they don’t ditch Aquamarine and Topaz either after these upcoming episodes.
Interesting that the statue behind Steven and Lars is a fusion of a Rose Quartz and something else..... It looks nothing like a Rose Quartz, but has its gemstone on the forehead. (Only head is shown btw)
I’m curious as to why there’s a statue of something relating to a Rose Quartz in the first place. Maybe another part of the Zoo?
I’m not expecting full episode leaks this time, but I think we’ll get screenshots for The Trial any time from now to next week. Most likely next week since Stuck Together’s were only uploaded for the Cartoon Network app.
I saw a Reddit post saying that holly blue called carnelian and skinny jasper off colored betas And that one of the next episodes is called "off colors" Do you think we'll get those two to join the crystal gems?
I would honestly love to see Carnelian and Skinny join the Crystal Gems, but I’m not sure if it’d happen immediately as Lars’ Head is the episode right after it (implying that they’re most likely still in Homeworld). I think that it’s a possibility. We’ll most likely see the Famethyst in the upcoming episodes at least, including Carnelian and Skinny.
That also makes me wonder what type of powers they’d have.
So Steven listed a group of people in Marble Madness that Aquamarine and Topaz searched for, but why do both Yellow AND Blue want these humans? I’m thinking that they have different mindsets. I think Yellow wants the humans so she can “dispose of them” (Peridot tried crushing Steven with her giant hand constructs after Steven listed off his friends and Yellow wants Blue to move on from Pink Diamond and her attempts to fill up the Zoo with more humans) while Blue wants them simply because they’re humans.
Also, didn’t the leaker who talked about Topaz and Aquamarine mention that the RUBIES originally gave the report to Yellow Diamond? Perhaps the leaker wanted to lie about some things or that Yellow finds these specific humans as threatening as Steven (Peridot “REPORTED THIS” after the CGs came in and destroyed everything).
Respectfully, I love the message in Future Boy Zoltron - that even though Steven couldn't help Mr Frowny, it doesn't mean Mr Frowny can't be helped. Steven just had to step back and let someone else do it. It also had middle age exs reconnecting, which was cute. I can agree that the pacing was slow though.
I definitely respect the episode and its message, but I really thought its pacing hindered it a lot. If I’m not mistaken, it reused some scenes multiple times as well.
I really liked the conclusion to the episode and how Smiley was able to help Frowney out, though. More Smiley is always a good thing, and I thought it was a cute ending.
My Ranking of Season 4′s Episodes from Best to Worst
I never tried anything like this, so I thought it’d be fun to do. Season 4 certainly had its ups and downs, but I found myself enjoying most of the episodes. These are ranked just by how much I enjoyed watching them, whether it be due to the comedy or how the events within the episode unfolded.
That Will Be All I Am My Mom Kindergarten Kid Mindful Education Adventures in Light Distortion Steven’s Dream Room for Ruby Last One Out of Beach City Are You My Dad? The New Crystal Gems Gem Heist Three Gems and a Baby The Zoo Know Your Fusion Storm in the Room Lion 4: Alternate Ending The Good Lars Buddy’s Book Doug Out Tiger Philanthropist Gem Harvest Future Boy Zoltron Rocknaldo Onion Gang
The only episodes I didn’t like too much were the ones listed under Tiger Philanthropist. I thought Gem Harvest was a mess, but I did enjoy some parts of it quite a bit, Future Boy Zoltron was okay, but it felt way too slow, Rocknaldo had Ronaldo act really out of character for most of the episode (which bugged me because I’m one of those people who actually like Ronaldo), and Onion Gang was just boring to me. I do appreciate it giving Onion more character, though.
So what do you all think? How do you rank the episodes? Which ones did you like and which ones didn’t you like?
