White Pearl then transports Steven directly to White Diamond’s chamber, but when we finally see her, it goes without saying that both White Diamond & Pearl in appearance alone know how to leave quite a lasting impression in terms of appearance, but given White Diamond comes off as a condescending emotionless cunt who doesn’t even give Steven a chance to speak for himself, the episode ends on an unsettling cliffhanger when the talk with White goes about as well as you’d expect…ĭamn! I would’ve expected them to build up White Diamond for the next few episodes before introducing her so damn quickly, but this was a surprise even for me that they’d go that far. Upon arrival to Homeworld, the group is surprised to be greeted by crowds of Homeworld Gems who have gathered to celebrate Pink Diamond’s return, But just when Yellow Diamond tries to tell Steven to let her talk first, White Diamond’s Pearl servant suddenly appears before them, and assures the group that White Diamond wishes only to see “Pink Diamond” but when Yellow and Blue prepare to follow, White’s Pearl clarifies that only Pink Diamond’s (Steven’s) presence is needed. Since the the previous battle consequently destroyed both Hand-shaped spaceships that belonged to blue & yellow, Steven decides to seek out Rose/Pink Diamond’s old spaceship which hilariously turns out to be a pair of robot-legs/lower torso (Hence the episodes title) and while Bismuth stays to look after Lapis & Peridot who are still recovering, The rest of the Gems and Connie tag along with Steven and the diamonds to homeworld. When they do attempt to uncorrupt Centipeetle with Blue and Yellow’s help (which reveals Centipeetle was originally named Nephrite), It doesn’t exactly work out which motivates Steven to seek the help of another Diamond that’s rarely mentioned within the Steven Universe Mythos but barely been talked about… White Diamond.ĭeciding to come to her as a solution to fix the “Corrupt Gem” mess, the challenge of actually getting her to earth could be a bigger problem than it sounds as they’d have to come to homeworld and back, but due to never leaving the planet for thousands of years, White might not be on board in regards to this idea. He even explains to both Blue & Yellow Diamond that he doesn’t have Pink’s or Rose Quartz’s memories, But Yellow then remarks that his memories might “be in there somewhere”. The Mary Sue has a strict comment policy that forbids, but is not limited to, personal insults toward anyone, hate speech, and trolling.Long after the intense & epic events of Reunited, Steven catches Blue and Yellow Diamond up on what happened to Pink Diamond and the presumed “obliterated” gems during the war.

Vrai is a queer author and pop culture blogger they’ve fully embraced their lifetime role as a lover of trash. I fully intend to see things through until the end, whenever that might be, and I would love nothing more than for these rather pessimistic assumptions to be proven wrong, but for now, all we can do is wait.
There’s even some part of me that appreciates Steven’s firm and clear-cut demand that the Diamonds fix what they’ve done, rather than trying to empath why we should feel bad for them at length.īut a greater part of me is sad, thinking about the many branching points that might’ve kept the show from feeling like a work no longer of its time. The show is, for the moment, back to the long begged-for weekly premiere schedule that bolstered its early successes, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t pleased to have the show back in my life. Bismuth is the character for 2018, and she’s back on Earth.
The cosmic scale, both literal and figurative, of these characters has slowly begun to separate the viewer from those everyday concerns that were so vital to the early days of the show, turning us instead toward a chess game in which being born special is an intrinsically important component.Ĭhosen One narratives aren’t the worst thing, and Steven is plenty rounded as a character, but it feels like a somewhat tired narrowing of focus that further underlines how unintentionally disconnected the show feels from the current plights of its intended marginalized audience.

But the pointed emphasizing of Steven’s Special Chosen One status at the end of this episode makes that slow build feel somewhat pointless, particularly as the show has finally turned its full attention to the Diamonds.
