Episode 60: Keeping It Together

Join Ivy and Daria as they watch and talk about Keeping It Together and cover such topics as the horrific Fusion experiments, Garnet's reactions, Peridot's status as a villain, whether this is the most Garnet has ever spoken in an episode, Steven's concern and curiosity about Ruby and Sapphire, the terrible experience the forced Fusions must be having, Ruby and Sapphire's traumatic conversation, the physical acting of the characters, the nuanced discussion of consent and the importance of broad metaphors, whether Gem shards are conscious, indicators of time passing in the show, Peridot's insult 'clod', and Homeworld's position on the Crystal Gems.

Probing Question: What might Peridot have been trying to accomplish with sticking Gem shards together? What's the endgame?

Today's recipe: None.
