Episode 58: Sworn to the Sword

Join Ivy and Daria as they watch and talk about Sworn to the Sword and cover such topics as Connie buying into Pearl's programming, Pearl's self-sacrificial nature, Connie getting bandaged up instead of having Steven heal her, Connie's existing athletic skills before starting sword-fighting lessons, Connie's upbringing having raised her to value obeying authority and following rules, Steven and Connie's jam bud relationship, how Connie and Pearl are similar and different, what Rose might have thought of Pearl's behaviour, what Gem armour might be like, details of the Ancient Sky Arena setting, questions about the timeline that could have Pearl learning about knighthood for the first time in a Sky Arena, how old Pearl is, what Connie's parents think she's up to when she's running off to sword-fighting lessons, and Garnet as 'Master of Comedy'.  

• Probing Question: What did Pearl mean when she said Connie (and, presumably, Pearl herself) isn't built for fighting?
