Quick Thoughts #5-When It Rains (Steven Universe)

New episode, new episode, new episode!

Well aren't you excited
Oh, Kevin. Why do you keep coming on to this blog. Whatever, after last weeks episode I'm excited for more Peridot and according to the TV Guide which says "Steven helps a friend who's scared of thunder storms" I'm gonna assume we are gonna get a lot development on the relationship between Steven and Peridot. One of my favorite parts of Catch and Release. I'm assuming it's Peridot who's afraid of thunder storms. It could be someone else though but I'm putting money on Peridot. Then again they may surprise me. After all they love surprising their fans. Whatever let's get into When It Rains. 

Plot Summary-This episode adds a lot of plot to the story. I'm gonna try my best to not spoil anything. It's gonna be hard. In this episode The Crystal Gems leave to go on a mission leaving Steven to watch Peridot during a thunderstorm. Peridot is afraid as she thinks it's the Cluster, the thing she said would destroy earth in the last episode. Steven assures her it's just thunder and teaches her about rain. Peridot is impressed. So impressed she takes Steven to the kindergarten to tell him what the Cluster is.
So.....what is the Cluster
Should've watched the episode to find out, Kevin.
I missed it, sorry.
Well trust me when I say you don't want the Cluster to be spoiled for you. 
We'll talk about the reveal later. 
Any way Peridot thinks that Stevens Knowledge of earth and her intelligence put together could stop the cluster. However Steven tells her that it won't help. They need the crystal gems. They get attacked by some gem fusion experiments (It's not a spoiler. If you've been keeping up wth the series you'd know they were there based on the episode Keeping It Together) 
Luckily, the Crystal Gems come and save them. They pretty much do a Deus Ex Machina. How do they always know where Steven is. The episode ends with Peridot telling the gems about the cluster. 
So really this episode isn't just about thunderstorms. So that's like twice now the TV guide has made an episode out to be smaller than it actually is. 
So let's just move on to the Good, the MEh and The Bad. 

Good-The reveal of what exactly the Cluster is. It's pretty impactful. I'm not gonna spoil it but it made me go "oh crap, that can't be good." It just goes to show how much I actually care for the world and characters of Steven Universe. We also get a lot more development on the relationship between Peridot and Steven. I really like how they are developing it. They actually feel like real friends in a strange sort of way. It's just so enjoyable to watch. Again, can't wait for the next episode to see even more development in the relationship between these two. The characters are great as well. Peridot is as fun as usual, same with Steven. Though Steven did say something kinda stupid when they were getting chased by those gem experiments "Let's get in that corner. Oh no we're cornered" I will admit though that was still pretty funny in a stupid way. Something Family Guy tries but fails to do.
That was a cheap shot.
I'm sorry I had to take it. 
But yeah the comedy in this episode was great as well. 
And that beginning scene with Steven telling Peridot why she shouldn't be afraid of thunderstorms.......it's......it's fantastic. I love it. 
Just watch it for yourself. 

MEh/Bad-Nothing. There really isn't much to complain about it was an enjoyable episode but as I said with My Clique just because I can't find a problem doesn't mean I'm giving it a perfect 10/10. Nightmare Hospital had a problem but I still enjoy that one more. 

Final Score-8.5/10 
It was enjoyable. I love how they are developing the relationship between Peridot and Steven. That and the reveal of the cluster were really the big things this episode did. 
With that said watch it. Watch it now. 

Now that that's out of the way we need to talk Kevin
About what.
Well, this is the second time where you've come onto my blog without me knowing. Why are here. 
That's my buisness, not yours 
What are you planning. 
Can't I just stay. Maybe keep you company. I mean you seem so lonely.
Hey, I have plenty of friends. 
Sure you do. Now if you excuse me I got some important buisness to attend to.
You can't just leave.........I'm not done with you.......ugh he's gone. 
That's weird. Who is that guy. 
Well, I guess I'll find out eventually. That can't be the last time I see him.
See you guys this Thursday with another new episode. Personally, I wanna see Connie and Peridot interact sometime soon. Either way see you guys later. Peace.
