Wow, that was intense. I'm really glad we're finally seeing what Homeworld is going to be like, but also wondering if we're going to spend most of the season with adventures on Homeworld.
I'm really astonished with Zircon's theory/hypothesis that Rose might have been framed with the shattering of Pink Diamond, but at the same time it's been confirmed by Pearl, Garnet, and Eyeball that she did indeed shatter Pink...idk I definitely think that there's more to Pink's death than just Rose (possibly with White or Yellow Diamond) but we'll see.
I loved the off-color gems, especially Padparadscha. Hope they join the Crystal Gems (they better make it back to Earth). Also Lars' death really surprised me though, especially with how brutal he got hit from the explosion. Of course now he's alive and pink like Lion is...I wonder if he'll have the same powers? And apparently Steven has resurrection tears, maybe he'll use them to heal corrupted gems?
Honestly I just really liked the special and can't wait for the next episodes to come out.
