SU 1x02 Laser Light Canon

I liked this episode a bit better than the first - I thought it was a silly but nice way to introduce Greg and a tiny glimpse at Rose Quartz. The jokes were great - I laughed a lot at the gems and Greg and Steven. Honestly I felt this could have been a fine way to start the show. Plot-wise it didn't give much away but it really showed us what each gem is roughly like before diving deep into showing their personalities.

My favourite part was the laser light canon and how the beam took the shape of Rose Quartz - that was neat! My partner was awwwwing at Steven loving his dad's old, cheesy song he sang years ago.

I teared up when Greg saw the canon and action and just said "Rose.."

HEARTBREAKING OMG

But I agree that this should have been the first episode! While Gem glow is nice, it felt a little strange to me as a first episode. Cuz we see Stevens shield, but then in Laser Light Canon we don't see much interaction with his gem at all and it feels like a regression almost. I think they at least should have switched the epsiodes around xD

Yeah, I agree! Episode 1 and 2 should be flipped. I wouldn't say it's regression per se but I do think Laser Light Canon sets up the characters a bit nicer than Gem Glow. Plus we get to see Greg and hear a mention of Rose, which will pique your interest as a viewer because you're like "ooo who's this mysterious Rose Quartz why aren't we seeing her?!" and then we would see Steven and be like ????, waiting, eager for more.

I do really love how Greg is kinda like...well...probably how anybody would be in his situation. Kinda goofy, trying to be a dad and doesn't have a CLUE on how to deal with gem stuff. He's just like *shrugs* iono.
