Nightmare Hospital was the best kind of episode, working in some great character moments while passing us some lore under the table. The lore could probably be classified as subtle since no special efforts were made to call attention to it, but we’re always on the lookout. Read on for a spoilerific overview.

Immediate reaction to Nightmare Hospital
Alright, while this isn’t a place for spoilers I just want to say: no, Connie is not banned from saving the world. Just in case there was anyone out there afraid that something like that might happen.
Other than that, there were a lot of people who watched the second preview and got the right …
Peridot’s hard suit
Peridot was kind of a big deal when she first showed up. Do you remember? Among all sorts of speculation over who she was and what she was doing, there was a lot of wondering about her outfit: was it part of her, a projection just like the Crystal Gems’ outfits, or was it something …
The fate of the Galaxy Warp and the flask robonoids’ work ethic
Friend Ship didn’t beat around the bush at all: we saw the Galaxy Warp, and everything was decidedly un-annihilated. Oh, sure, none of the warp pads worked and the homeworld warp was rubble, but that’s exactly how the Crystal Gems left things at the end of Warp Tour. We didn’t get the destruction that we hoped …
What did we learn from #StevenBomb3?
There was a lot of information hidden in #StevenBomb3 (as one would expect from a grouping of five episodes!). Plenty of it was speculation fuel, but we also got some more certain stuff to discuss.
The warp pads and the robonoids
Well it looks like the Galaxy Warp didn’t get hit with the shooting star …
Immediate reaction to Friend Ship
Ooooh, this one has some really good nuggets in it. Pearl confirms a bit of what we figured about the role Pearls fill in Gem society, we learn about ancient Gem space travel, and we learn that the Crystal Gems never went through with obliterating the Galaxy Warp.
Also, dark implications about Earth’s impending fate… What …
Immediate reaction to Historical Friction
First of all, it’s great to see another Mayor Dewey episode. He’s the Internet’s mayor, after all, so he’s always a welcome presence. The script he turned in was pure gold (though perhaps not for the reasons he thought it would be).
The final script also told us some, and considering its source we can …
Immediate reaction to Onion Friend
This is very much a character episode. Vidalia is finally introduced in the present day, and we learn a lot about her. It would be hard to say that it’s even possible to learn anything about Onion, but we get more data to try to figure him out, at least. Plus: G.A.L.S! We learn about …
Immediate reaction to Keystone Motel
Well if you haven’t seen Keystone Motel yet then there are some fairly large spoilers that we’ll be very happy to talk about (later), but we also learned the name of another state: Keystone. So add that to the list of states we know about, along with Delmarva and Kansas.
Immediate reaction to Cry For Help
So it begins.
Well, we’ve (officially) seen Sardonyx, and the Pearl-haters will now never stop talking. Plus we’ve seen some actual clips from the Crying Breakfast Friends and we still don’t understand what Steven sees in that show.
Lore-wise, we’ve seen that there’s a limit to the damage that a flask robonoid can repair (and …
