As a peridot stan I agree, but green gems need more in-show love.

Sadly I'm convinced that the show will end after season five so there's probably only ~30 episodes left in the show but that wont be a problem if it has a satisfying ending and all the loose ends are tied up.

Yellow Diamond was first mentioned in the Season 1 finale, and was fully revealed near the Season 2 finale.
Blue Diamond was first mentioned and shown in the shadows near the end of Season 2, and first fully appeared in the middle of Season 4.
Pink Diamond was name-dropped at the end of Season 3, became one of the primary driving forces of the plot even now, and will probably be seen in flashback either at the end of this season or sometime in the next.
By that pattern, we can possibly expect a mention of White Diamond at the end of this season (Season 4). As far as showing her goes, I think we'll how Pink Diamond looked before dealing with (presumably) the top Diamond in the Diamond Authority.

Wait, how do we know new gems are coming?

I just don't understand what we're heading towards. There hasn't been a main threat in a long long time. Are we going to liberate home world in 30 episodes?

It's undoubtedly Ronaldo having a crazy theory about the temple fusion and imagining himself controlling it. Love the Gigantor reference though.
I originally thought the temple fusion was Rose+Garnet+Pearl+Amethyst. But then I remember how Amethyst was found after the war, and the temple looks like something built during the rebellion (or by Homeworld themselves and reused by the Crystal Gems).
Yeah... For that same reason, part of me wonders if Bismuth was part of the fusion, too.

Wonder what the difference between the official soundtrack and what you can listen to on Aivi & Surasshu's SoundCloud is...
Probably about $10 lol.

Every so often I see stuff like the MLP or Spongebob soundtracks come out on vinyl and I think to myself "who would buy that?". If I were to see the SU soundtrack on vinyl, I would buy that.

Neat. Not really something I'd buy, but more merch isn't a bad thing.

Mixing (?) and sound quality. Soundcloud uses 128kbps files.

Also convenience. Unless you are dedicated to using Soundcloud to MP3 websites or downloading shady compilations, you can't really get the music off of Soundcloud... legally at least. So if you want to listen to a song from the show on the go, you have to use the trainwreck that is the Soundcloud app, which will beg you every 12 seconds to pay for their overpriced subscription service.
Here's hoping that the soundtrack will have songs other than the vocal ones. A lot of the instrumental tracks are top notch.

Took them damn long enough.
I don't understand why soundtracks are not readily made available for a lot of animated television.
Yet they can't release the season Blu Rays in the US?

Oh wow, this is awesome. Glad we're finally starting to see more SU merch. I just got my Lapis and Rose POPs in the mail today. Still waiting on Peri, Lion and Connie.

The titles and synopsii are probably real, but zap2it doesn't always get the airing dates right. Usually because CN's erratic airing schedules.
Hm, those last two. Prime season close-out material.

I'd say there's a last one for the Friday on the docket that's not listed on that page- can't have a Stevenbomb with only 4 episodes!
Hm, true. Though CN can surprise us. Also: one or more of those episodes could be double-length.

The fifth one would be Lion 4 since it hasn't actually aired, right? It's labeled there as airing in March but that wasn't its actual air date.
Hoagmaster

First one there has a supposed airdate of 5/16, a Tuesday. If these are legit, this could be a week of episodes that starts with Lion 4 on May 15. I suppose we'll know before too long.

The titles and descriptions of those last two episodes are pretty ominous.

I'm guessing The Good Lars ends with
Doug Out might even
Still, it's a pretty big coincidence that
one of the Cool Kids, Sadie, or Lars disappearing or being abducted, which kicks off the season finale arc.
set it up if Doug is staking out something related to a disappearance.
Still, it's a pretty big coincidence that
Blue Diamond would be abducting people specifically from Beach City. Hopefully they establish that it's been happening all over the world and that Beach City is just a part of it. Or come up with some story reason why she would abduct from there. Maybe they use coordinates from when the hand ship in The Return arrived in Beach City or maybe the Rubies send a signal.

Those last two episode descriptions sound promising.
Also, caved and saw Lion 4. That
pink thing in the desert was definitely Pink Diamond's ship. I'd be surprised if it wasn't considering the coloring was similar to the other Diamond ships.
I only caught this off of the Reddit, but
Steven & Greg brought the Zoo earrings back to Beach City. Since they were supposed to track the Zoomans, it's safe to say they brought people to Beach City. My guess is that Blue Diamond is tracking the earrings & is abducting people 1 by 1 because she still thinks the Cluster is about to form. Someone Doug was supposed to be bodyguarding disappeared, so he unintentionally gets Steve & Connie into the abduction plot early on.

Oh man.
July can't come soon enough.
The content in the preview is really fascinating.
Already we can see that the pre-production lore was quite different from what we've got.
Rather than being alien rebels who cut ties with their homeworld, the crystal gems were apparently just random magical guardians sent from a completely different universe to protect the earth.
It also says that their powers allow them to disguise themselves as teenage girls, which makes a lot of sense considering that some of the pre-production designs look more like typical young human women than the finalized versions do.
There are a lot of very interesting implications in these concepts, especially if you take into account the blurb that mentions that pilot-pearl's bangs were supposed to allow her to more easily disguise herself as a human.
