Reference
I've been getting a few asks about what the training scene with Garnet and Steven is referencing to from "Future Vision". I presume they mean this clip:
and I think that they were referencing something called "rajio taisō" which means radio calisthenics, which is popular in Japan and China. Here's a video of a very popular version of a rajio taisō:

But the price for acting like a college student or older while you're still not an adult has the ultimate consequence:
Why "Alone Together" was the best episode so far.
Spoilers up ahead…
You’ve been warned.
The first thoughts that come to mind after watching this episode was: “holy crap that was amazing”. Sorry for poor language, but that’s the truth. And here is my reasons why “Alone Together” was the most slam dunk episode yet. (slang?)
1.
And yes. That deserves a reason on its own.
2. Steven wanted to help Connie feel better about her dancing abilities and She wanted to help him with his fusion abilities. Thus by creating a scene in which they coincide and become one.
Which, by the way, is a very healthy relationship. Not only shown by their motives, it shows how they feel. MY theory, is that Steven can only fuse when the person he is fusing with can feel pure bliss at a moment while he is simultaneously feeling the same way. Either way, I felt that this was a major breaking through in the development of Connie’s character.
3.
New fusion.
4.
Mom Squad being the amazing mother she is. I, personally, really enjoyed how she encouraged Stevonie. (Which by they way, is the official canon name for shipping them. I’m looking at you weird side of the internet.) I also appreciated how she contrasted from Pearl who was scared of the the feat Steven had accomplished so soon.
5.
Two kids just having fun.
6.
This scene is equally hilarious as much as it brings up some confusion. Some of my friends have argued on whether or not Lars and Sadie were into Stevonie or if they were just stunned by its appearance. For me, I choose the latter because Steven is obviously very close to them, and they know about his gem. Ergo, I think that either
A. They know it’s him fused.
B. They think it’s a new gem.
Or C. They are goofed and know nothing about what just happened.
My money is on A.
7.
Why do you think I chose the park bench scene? I will give you a second to think about it. Ok time’s over. The answer? Steven being the amazing person he is in this coming of age story. He asks Connie if she is still fine with the fusion, and is basically asking for her consent. (Which if you’re a spouse, do this. It may not seem like much, but it makes the relationship stronger by ensuring a bond of trust. Please, please, just do this) Therefore, causing their relationship to become stronger.

This is going to sound ludicrous, but man am I glad they included Connie having a panic attack. It shows how insecure and shy she really is. I am glad also, that panic attacks are acknowledged, because I don’t see them to an extent where somebody can be near tears. Rebecca and the Crew, thank you for acknowledging this detail.
9.
ok, first off, sorry bout the quality. Second off, I’m so happy they brought this subject up! Well you’re gonna be like “Oh UUU you’re a cold hearted jerk.” Just listen. As you may have guessed, not many shows give out the idea that there is a possible predator that wants you. I mean, children watch the darn things. But that’s why I love this scene so much! It presents a challenge!
I have no idea how this scene passed through, but I’m so glad how it turned out. This shows people (primarily women I would assume) that people like this are a big no-no. And it teaches people (primarily men in this instance I would assume) to not be like this guy! I see no downside besides the awkwardness of the whole episode.
This may be my favorite scene because let’s get real here. Not many networks, or even a network meant to bring in an adult audience, present this idea. I find it very exciting because
A. It presents to children that there are more than just one shade of bad in the world.
B. Anytime somebody says cartoons are for children exclusively, I’m going to show them this scene.
and C: this happened. period. If they let this through, that means almost anything now is accepted by the network.
and 10: the ending:
I personally think Connie and Steven were crazily laughing in the end because they were celebrating working together on magic, got closer together, and beat that creep.
Oh well! That’s just my opinion on the latest episode! I’m sure more like these will come by! I truly hope so! have a nice day folks!
Pearl, get your eyes off of the prize.

Everyone in the fandom right now.
"Steven, allow me to tell you about the time Lars and I played video games all night."
