Back to the Moon spoiler:

they used the word SHATTERED.

Still, I think that the outcome could be different. Could even be Rose AND Pink Diamond acting to fool everybody. PD could be involved in the rebellion.

PD could be Lion - and that's why even Pearl didn't know about "him"

EDIT: Sorry TheFlow =(
 
So,
subaru failed to say this is a to the moon spoiler
they used the word SHATTERED.

all Gucci. I am just going to avoid the thread till the episode comes up
 
Goddamit, before i only had to avoid this thread during air times, but with the leaks now this place is spoiler city until i get back home at night!

;_;
 
Back To the Moon Spoilers (nothing too specific, mostly impressions, tagged anyway):
Liked the plot revelations, but would have rather the episode focused on the individual rubies (we only got some 'hints', nothing else) instead of, again, on how dumb they are as a collective. Felt a bit too forced for me and it was probably the weakest episode in a while, but sets up Bubbled super well.
 
Holy shit

Wonder what happens next.

That tear from Eyeball when Doc was chosen to sit on Jasper's lap instead.
 
So ...

It's confirmed that Rose Shattered PD. Eyeball saw it first hand and Pearl/ Garnet seemed disturbed by this reveal. Either they didn't know about it (Rose coulda said that one of the Diamonds did it or placed the blame somewhere else) or they did but never talked about it.

That's it, I'm calling it. I think that she used the Break Point on PD. We know that Rose doesn't have a weapon that can shatter a gem like that. Her Sword was designed to never harm the gem's gem and her summon weapon is a shield. Plus the Diamonds are HUGE with big ass gems we can assume and Bism made a big deal about how the Break Point could shatter even a Diamond. Plus there's the fact that after bubbleing Bism Rose kept the Breaking Point hidden in the forge instead of, ya know, tossing it into the lava like Steven did so that no one could use it.

Also it's interesting how much cross gem attraction goes flying around with how rare cross gem fusion seems to be.
 
You know, I know Steven Universe is a pretty feel good show but honestly, it really makes me wonder how the crystal gems ever thought they were going to win a war if they were so squeamish about permanently killing anyone.

It's no wonder Rose lost. Bismuth really was right.
 
Back to the Moon
that's not quite how space works, heh
anyway, I'm pretty sure we'll get a big info dump next episodes, it being the last of S3 and Steven floating around in space alone and probably going on a spirit journey of some kind

Hasn't it been said before that the Crystal Gems were fucking the Homeworld forces up so bad they literally needed a Deus Ex Machina? I don't really think Homeworld won. They retreated and Rose saved the earth plus she left Homeworld severely messed up if we go by what Peridot has said.

If that's true, I have no idea why 1.) Bismuth is bubbled right now, or 2.) why any of the CG's are sad or ashamed about Pink Diamond being shattered.

Part of me still thinks Rose is PD.

But yeah, I feel like the likability of the characters gets in the way of the lore fact that they are soldiers, supposedly excellent soldiers, who were fighting with a purpose. I mean, it sounds like they were so good, the other diamonds basically shot an ELE at the earth that reset life on the entire planet, so where is the 180 in the CG's demeanor? Why is Bismuth bubbled right now? How is she wrong in making the pilebunker?

I don't get it.

HW won in that they turned the planet into a egg for their fusion cluster, corrupted all but 3-4 CGs and left the planet to die. That's not really a CG win. CGs only "won" out in the end because Peri came to earth, became friends with them and told them about the cluster so that they could stop it. And now they're working on corruption.

If I had to guess PD being shattered took this stale mate war and turned it into a "table flip and forget" for the diamonds.

Also, Shattering PD likely greatly disrupted the systems they have in place on HW. Like I said before, I believe PD was incharge of gem growth, production, population and health. If she's taken away then the others would have to take charge of her responsibles with varying amounts of success that could be crippling their planet.
 
The HW doesn't seem to be in great shape if the Rubies are a crack retrieval team and Jasper is an elite warrior. The Rubies are more or less the Ginyu Force of SU at this point and Jasper has gone been from being intimidating enough and barely constrained by Lapis to being poofed with a
gag shot from Peri after being beaten on pretty bad by a simple two-gem fusion.
 
back to the moon:

Why the FUCK was sardonyx so HUGE? I get there can be size fluctuations sometimes and things arent fixed but she's like, 3 times her normal height. She could take on 2005 king kong.
 
Rose did not shatter Pink Diamond. Why are we taking all this at face value? Again, this is "Vader killed your father" levels of stuff.
 
So
Rose shattered Pink Diamond but bubbled Bismuth when she wanted to use the Breaking Point? What?

Rose shattered Pink Diamond first, but felt an immense regret over it. That's probably why she decided to not use the Breaking Point. She bubbled Bismuth after Bismuth attacked her. Bismuth says that she "didn't want to fight, but [Rose] left her no choice". However, she also said that Steven said exactly what Rose had said, so we can infer that Bismuth reacted violently to Rose as well. Rose kept Bismuth hidden away so the Crystal Gems wouldn't find out that their friend tried to kill their leader and/or so they wouldn't end up taking Bismuth's side, which would doom the Rebellion. That's my closest guess.
 
Because
Eye says she witnessed it and Pearl reacts viscerally instead of refuting it.

Until we get a flashback scene, I'm pretty certain it is just misdirection. There'd be no need for the writers to be so vague about it and leak the happenings of the event in drabs and drabs otherwise. As it is, there's simply too much abnormal about Rose for her to genuinely just be a quartz. Jasper is also a quartz, as is Amethyst, and they've displayed at best a minute fraction of Rose's abilities. Given that the writers are very deliberately concealing key information about the precise events... it's clear groundwork being laid for a plot twist.

How the fuck does a Quartz shatter a Diamond?

I think its this is mostly true but maybe Rose shattered PD after she bubbled Bismuth. Like she was against the idea (and the weapon itself) but it came down to a situation where she had to shatter PD (maybe to save a CG life). I'm pretty sure PD's death is what led to the ELE level attack that created the corrupted Gems. Bismuth was bubbled because she tried to kill Rose. She might of been ahead of her time, but it doesn't mean that the CG's were pacifist the whole war.
Like the idea that nobody was shattered during the Gem War doesn't make complete sense when you think about the strawberry field and how so many soldiers supposedly died there.
