Steven Universe S05E23-E24, "Reunited"
Reunited, I see what you did there, show.
AH CLIFFHANGER AH
The Cluster coming out, before it formed into an arm, was very FMA.
And in a way it's fitting because this reunion between the Diamonds is the same kind of resolution that the Cluster was, of course! No fighty-fighty, meaningful mental and emotional connection. Via psychic ghost stuff. Is this a little repetitive? Yes. Is it maximally SU and therefore necessary? Yes.
Trying to go in a little bit more order:
That wedding, ugh so cute. Loved who wore the suit and who wore the dress. And everyone hanging out, and the song, it was great.
(I kind of can't with ex-Mayor Dewey/Jaime, however, because I have an intergenerational squick. Putting that aside.)
It's very satisfying when a show set things up well enough that you spot them just before they're explicit. Steven crying big tears with more than half the episode left? Hi, Blue!
Lapis! I knew you were coming back, and your timing is helpfully explained by the spy device thingie, so while I'm not surprised to see you, I am glad. And that was a great moment when you weren't affected by Blue's emotional whammy.
Steven leading with emotional support of all the non-poofed Crystal Gems in psychic space, that was so quick but so well done.
Is it possible that we might get out of this without anyone dying or being shattered? NOTE I deliberately turned off the TV before the promo, because we don't have a date for the last two episodes, but sheesh. Where are we going next? Where are we going to go for season six?! (Don't answer that.)
AH COME FLAIL WITH ME
