    PSA: Steven Universe may make starting your own alternative school fun and easy but actually it’ll be a gigantic quagmire that’ll grind everyone involved to dust. In my experience

    I'm kinda not. Seems like an out of nowhere change for a character whose secret weapon is "if every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs."

    I guess it is meant to communicate that Steven is way different now and we didn't even notice, putting the audience in the place of the Gems.

    To say nothing of the sentient and sapient vegetables Steven has met and created.

    It's a good thing Steven seems to need to have intent for that to work, or he'd be giving life back to every plant as he eats it.

    I went from “ok, I should start Steven universe, people seem to love it” six days ago to all caught up and declaring Pearl the best character in western culture.

    I assume that being his most important human connection outside of his dad,

    Excuse me?

    Aren't we forgetting about Renaldo?

    As a cow I'm biased but I think it fits with his character (Steven's radically compassionate attitude towards all living things) and also fits in with the season's overall theme that people change and aren't static

    It does fit with the theme!

    I also don't like it.

    I can totally buy Steven just randomly becoming a vegetarian. He's a teenager trying to find himself so it seems perfectly natural.

    Or was I the only teenager that was like this every year.

    I love the new intro but find it a little tiny bit weird that they sing the title of the show ("Steven Universe Future"). In the original they just sing about the Crystal Gems, the team, not Steven Universe, the show!

    My personal headcanon for Steven turning vegetarian is that he was eating a hotdog, and it started squirming on the way down.

    At least with plants it seems to take a bit.

    Anyone know how many episodes we're getting / when we're getting them.

    Just finished SU Future e10 and I'm already getting withdrawal.

    Also,
    when was the chest on Rose's island inside Lion opened? Did I somehow miss that?

    Thank you for bringing to the forefront of my mind the existential terror that Steven grants sentience to everything he eats.

    He doesn't. Even the plants need to take root first

    It happened during the timeskip. Nobody saw it. Nobody knows what's inside.
    That is the joke.

    I was afraid I had missed something. Good to know that's not the case.

    To speculate on my own question: There are six (technically seven) "enemies" shown in the opening. Four of them have had episodes so far.
    E1: Jasper
    E5: Bluebird
    E8: Lapis Lazulis
    E10: Cactus

    Leaving white diamond and sandworm.

    That implies 15 episodes if they have the same "density" as the first 10.

    I've loved all the new episodes except for "a very special episode" which was just bad.

    I suspect the season will end with
    Steven hanging Rose's portrait back up.

    I agree with your spoiler, but I loved a very special episode.

    Very special episode is one of those episodes where something clicks in your brain and suddenly you realize “oh the creator watched Invader Zim as a kid”.

    Probably a production wrapping thing even if it hasn't aired yet.

    Oh for some reason I thought the last few weren't scheduled until May.

    They could be, but episodes 11 through 16 are all in March, according to wikipedia. For this stuff it's usually accurate. But then again, Cartoon Network scheduling might as well be as clear as mud.

    Yeah that's what I thought was the case, we're getting some more episodes now, and then there's a 4 episode finale that will air later.

    It's pretty intense.

    I think it was @Incenjucar who was saying that Steven hasn't had any real character development on the show. SUF is almost 100% that.
