    I was rewatching some episodes and there definitely was a gem civil war.
    In serious Steven the entire inverse pyrsmd is full of glyphs depicting Rose quartz fighting a male with a triangular gem and figures worshipping something.

    Oh and the crow from Opal was a myraid gem fusion and she bubbled them with that arrow blast.
    Maybe the war was over the age-old struggle of boys vs. girls!

    Okay, that was a pretty great mid-season finale.
    Everyone got in on it! Like, almost every single person from town showed up in it, and also Greg and Connie and Lion were in the midst of the big fight at the end.

    Also, Steven used his shield again! On purpose! :D

    Lapis is such a sad character. And she's left us with even more questions than ever.

    God dammit how is this show so good

    I am guessing...
    The gems were actually hiding from whoever actually won the war, and bubbling the broken gems to keep them/themselves hidden/safe.

    Now that Lapis went back, they are going to start getting into conflicts with the main antagonist (the guy from the mural?)

    Especially since Steven seems to be getting control of his powers.

    Well these last few episodes have only raised more questions than they've answered

    even if there were a few pretty big answers in there

    @king_riptor let me let you in a secret.

    Remember when I said that Garnet was a stone cold baller?
    Steven is becoming baller with his heart on his sleeve.

    Speaking of Garnet, I think this is the first time she's gotten genuinely mad at Steven, isn't it?

    She's always super patient with him, but she looked ready to smack him upside his head.

    I think you are right about that, Goatmon. There are definitely ramifications and extenuating circumstances regarding all the stuff that went down in Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem.
    This is serious biz, if Garnet aint gonna be chill and patient with Steven.

    This show keeps getting better, and frankly I really love how they've been doing the world building

    organically informing us without just straight info dumps, and or leaving things up to our own interpretation

    The one thing I wish they would do is
    A flashback episode while Rose was still alive. Maybe show how her and Mr. Universe met, or just how she was.

    Though is Steven is anything to go by, I think we have a very good idea already.

    Greg mentions how they met in the light cannon episode: he came to Beach City to do a music gig, and Rose was the only person who showed up.

    Okay some bullet points
    Pearl has twice given Steven powerful artifacts that cause major problems.

    Lapis was shocked that Steven can heal. It may be more rare than we thought.

    Steven can neutralize gem powers with his weapon.

    Quartz is a crystal so the Crystal Gems are definitely named for her. I'm thinking the gems are least two factions, the Crystal gems aka followers of Rose and the Triangle Gem we saw in the glyphs from Serious steven.

    Red Eye came from space but we've seen monsters like the crow and Ice Kreemzek that clearly have been there a while. Most monsters seem to be guarding artifacts so I'm guessing there's two kinds. Some are corrupted and out of habit protect ancient stuff and others that attack the temple directly which might be made by prisoners .

    Some interesting, possibly spoilery stuff from the tumblr of Ian Jones-Quartey, supervising director on Steven Universe:

    saiyanshredder said:
    Fans have already begun speculating the names of corrupted gems from previous episodes. Can you confirm or deny the following theories: the red eye gem from Laser Light Canon is Spessartine, the giant pufferfish from Beach Party is Watermelon Tourmaline, and the centipeedle from Gem Glow and Monster Buddies is Malachite.


    Answers straight from the source:

    1. The Red Eye is NOT a gem.

    2. The Pufferfish is DEFINITELY Watermelon Tourmaline.

    3. The Centipeetle is absolutely a Gem, but it is NOT Malachite.

    The more I watch this show the more I appreciate the character development of the gems themselves

    Garnet being immensely strong but also immensely restrained
    Pearl being graceful and precise but also obsessive and condescending
    Amethyst being flexible but also sloppy
    Steven being curious and kind but also naive and incapable of harnessing his power

    still haven't figured out what Rose's dichotomy would be, but it probably has to do with her incredible selflessness leading to her own self destruction

    plus then even the supporting characters have their own personalities and augh I love this show so much and want more

    He's actually gotten a decent handle on things by the latest episode.

    Dude's really getting the hang of it, and it's super cool.

    I also like how the theme of his powers (and his mother's I presume) is all about love, which is absolutely perfect.

    Yeah, it makes a lot of sense that his "weapon" is made to protect rather than harm.

    I wonder what Rose had.

    ...but I would say that

    Rose had that pretty epic weapon collection so pacifist she was not. But I think its clear for her child she wanted something else. Im also thinking her Fountain "fixed" his gem so that it works better with his personality

    When healing fails, there's always duct tape.

    Also, it's annoying that Greg lied about his leg, buuuut

    I can't really blame him for wanting to see more of Steven.

    Shouldn't have lied about it, though, but whatever. Saving the day made up for it.

    On Tuesday I had a long overdue conversation with my dad about patching up a miscommunication we had a couple years ago, which had led me to feeling like I couldn't trust him

    so this episode hit me really really hard in a good way and I love this show so much you guys

    Hmm, someone uploaded Lapis' theme.

    It's very.. angry. And sad.

    Huh, well
    I think this is the first time we've seen Pearl get really reckless.

    At least, to an extent that put anyone other than herself in direct danger.

    I don't count the sword hologram bit, since that seemed more like an old program going haywire. In this case there was some clear desperation behind her actions.

    Not that I blame her.

    She must really miss their old home.

    woof, that was a rough ending to Space Race.
    Ok, peeps, you've traveled around our planet. Been across the US, or seen other countries and some of the cool places to see and eat and meet people.
    Now you are confined to your room for the next 50 years. With only the filmiest of windows to peer out of, but it's never the same as when you were there.

    That's the closest analogy I can think of for the Gems being stranded with broken warp gates... except they've been stranded for millennia...

    Yeah.

    I guess Lazuli's lucky by comparison.

    Well, NOW she is.

    Not counting being locked in a mirror for god knows how long. That must have been insufferable.
