• Episode Followup: Alone At Sea



    Ah yes, Alone at Sea! Cartoon Network says to set a course for fun, so I'm looking forward to a relaxing episode about a boy and his dad on the high seas!



    I don't think that blindfold is working very well.

    Lapis is not amused by human puns.

    No apology for breaking Greg's leg and she doesn't know what a handshake is? Steven, you gotta work her Earth manners!

    Ah yes, the good ship misery!


    Er, I mean, Li'l Lappy!

    Wow, an actual laugh from Lapis? There's our happy Lappy!


    There she is. Maybe we are setting sail for fun after all!

    "DON'T PUT ME IN CHARGE!"
    Woah, Lapis, you have some stuff you need to work out?

    When you have to go to a wedding and your mom wants you to wear something really fancy.
    "Thanks, but, I'm not putting that on my body."

    Don't play with your food, Lapis!

    I wonder if she likes playing with the horn because it kind of makes the hand fart noise she made in the mirror.

    Hmm, Lapis controlled the whole ocean into a tower while cracked, but she seems to be concentrating a lot to make a water bubble. Hmm.

    What the heckie is that?!

    WHAT'S IN THE WATER?

    COULD IT BE?

    IT REALLY IS JAWS!

    Steven: "But... she's terrible."
    Lapis: "I'm terrible! I did horrible things! I-I broke your dad's leg. I stole Earth's ocean! Go on! Tell me I'm wrong!"
    Lapis should rightfully feel guilty for what she's done. Jasper isn't blameless by any means, but they both hurt people Steven loves. You can't pick and choose who to forgive, Steven.

    WAIT THAT'S NOT A SHARK!

    I know she's bad but she looks so adorable with that grin!

    Look at my beautiful wife!

    Hmm, Steven is pretty calm though all this. Heck, she's even giving Jasper a chance to say her piece. Maybe he's hoping she'll apologize? All he asked was for her to stay back, but he didn't tell her to get off the boat or even to leave them alone. It's really amazing that Steven always gives everyone a chance to explain themselves, to be redeemed, even if they've hurt him or his friends or he's scared of them.

    "She's the one you should be afraid of!"
    Those are some very bold words, Jasper. What does she mean by that? Lapis is powerful, sure... maybe the most powerful gem we've seen so far. She was able to take on the Crystal Gems all by herself, and she was winning until Steven interfered. She was even able to keep control of a fusion - not just controlling it, but keeping it together. Is that what Jasper means? Or is there something more she knows about Lapis' past?

    Lapis doesn't deny anything that Jasper says, even though Steven is right there to defend her.

    How can Jasper be so cute and yet so hurtful?

    "I was terrible to you. I liked taking everything out on you. I needed to. I-I hated you. It was bad!"
    Hmm, sounds like Jasper got more than she bargained for with that fusion. She forced Lapis into it, but in the end she was the one who was controlled. Yet in some sick and twisted way, they both liked it, for awhile.


    OH YEAH JUST A SATURDAY "DOODLE", EH REBECCA?

    Fusion is an extremely intimate experience in a gems life, one that Jasper has only experience through Malachite. Hopefully in the future, she can fuse in a more positive way, out of love, not hate.

    "I'll shatter you!"
    SET SAIL FOR FUN!
    YEAH THANKS CARTOON NETWORK!

    This is pretty much the episode, right? (Source)

    ONE PUNCH!

    ...HER AIM IS GETTIN' BETTER!

    Aww, poor Greg.

    And that's all folks!

    ...let me just throw in one last meme.
