Man, AT was cray again. It started out just good, but that ending easily made it a great episode. Sweet P isn't really an interesting character, and is really just a blank slate for our emotions, but the Lich controlling him subconsciously makes him interesting. It was nice to see the King of Ooo again. I really don't think they're going to do anything with him in the future, but it was cool to see that PB was right about him being a fraudulent swindler. The Lich's speech is easily one of my favorite moments in the series, period. One of Ron Pearl's best deliveries so far. Like Evergreen, this episode admittedly left a bad feeling in my stomach, but it was still superb nonetheless. Had a nice Pinocchio vibe too. A

SU was pretty predictable, but it ended up having a great pay-off. Garnet and Steven's relationship is easily the biggest highlight in this show, and also the most developed of the gems. Again, the moment with Steven on the roof was what really won me over. It's amazing how the writers can humanize a character who literally deflects lightning without blinking an eye a minute later. And nice Beedrill cameo too. A-

RS has experimented with game shows several times before, so this isn't really anything new, but it manages to have a few highlights to avoid boredom. I really like the Canadian couple in this episode, and I know, it's another stereotype, but this instance actually made me laugh where last week's did not. Muscle Man and Starla's relationship has become a lot more likable too. I used to hate any episode regarding Starla, but their love in this episode actually feels genuine and not the forced Bridgette-Geoff relationship it was portrayed as in the past (Hey, remember TD?). And the ending with Pops and the friggin bazooka was the hardest I've laughed at RS in a while. A-
