So an episode featuring Steven's Bathroom..........ok odd, but whateve as long as it's enjoyable I don't mind. Hopefully it ends up better than last weeks episode. With that said this is Catch and Release.
Plot summary-Every single channel guide I looked up said this was span exploration in Stevens bathroom, which just sounded........well, weird. However what we got instead was a decent surprise. As Peridot's in this episode. Which may be considered a spoiler to some but it's kinda hard to talk about this episode without mentioning her. The crystal gems also appear, which after 2 episodes of being no where to be seen is awesome. Anyway the episode starts woth Steven doing his normal nightly routine when he goes to bed he sees an ominous triangle shape......and doesn't care.
Seriously he knows what peridot looks like why doesn't he give it more than an after thought.
Surprise surprise he ends up being kidnapped. Maybe if you actually gave it more than an after thought.......ugh. I hate it when characters are annoyingly stupid. I expect better from you show. I expect this outta Pig Goat Banana Cricket or bad SpongeBob but not you.
Either way Peridot wants Steven to fix a warp pad using his magical spit in another attempt to escape the earth. But unfourtunetely it doesn't work. The crystal gems arrive obviously ticked that Peridot took Steven and begin to fight her. Peridot mentions they need her as she has some useful info but the crystal gems destroy her and bubble her gem up. Steven gets the feeling Peridot knows something and goes to pop her bubble. we then get to see what everybody has been freaking out about. Peridot without her limb extensions. She's tiny.........cool. Peridot mentions something that could threaten the earth but we don't learn much about it in this episode. Building suspense I see. Then peridot goes to hide in the bathroom where she thinks everything is a weapon. Steven convinces the gems to let her stay there and the episode just kinda ends. You know every channel guide said this was about Stevens Bathroom. Like it was more exciting than Peridot. Or maybe they just wanted to keep that a surprise. I sure was surprised. So we got a lot of story in this episode. But what was good, bad, or just plain MEh.
Good-We get to see the start of a relationship forming between Steven and Peridot and they do a really good job of forming it. I honestly can't wait till the next episode to see how this relationship develops. I also kinda wanna see Peridot form bonds with the other crystal gems. Speaking of Peridot she is great in this episode. I love Peridot. They really play out her more comedic side in this episode. The other characters are great as well. I also,love how they only mention the thing that may destroy the world. Really builds up the suspense. I really can't wait to find out what this almighty world destroying machine is. And as I said before this episode added on a lot to the story. Plus it is also a really funny episode. There really isn't much else to talk about.
What about small Peridot
Ummmm......who are you
Call me.......Kevin
Ok.....Kevin. Small Peridot was cool but I don't feel it's worth freaking out about
Thank you for your time
You're welcome?.......I guess
Ok that was weird, but yeah the main focus of this episode was peridot and the start of a relationship with her and Steven and they did an excellent job using both. Plus Stevens bathroom was pretty cool too :p
MEh-Kinda don't like how unaccomplished the crystal gems felt when they caught peridot. I mean the catch her and they just kinda blow it off. Like "good job guys. We did it. See ya later" I'm not really holding it against the episode just something that slightly irked me. No biggie though.
Bad-Steven letting peridot kidnap him in the begging. As I mentioned above I feel it's kinda out of character of Steven to be this stupid. Like seriously. You see an ominous triangle and you don't expect Peridot.......or Bill Cipher. Just blow it off.
Overall it was a great episode. It was mostly an episode used to build stuff up and they did it in an extremely great way. I can't wait for future episodes.
Overall-8.5/10
By the way Season 27 of the Simpsons aired on Sunday and I saw it........it was something. I'm not doing a quick thoughts on it. I have so much to say I feel it's best to do it for a full on Animated Critic episode instead of a Quick Thoughts.
As for Steven Universe I'll see you guys this Thursaday.
And also the Gone Flushin (Fairly Odd Parents) review will come soon. See ya then.
Peace.
