Season 1, Episode 48
6/10
An enjoyable, but flawed episode of the best cartoon of the 2010s so far.

Its a good and enjoyable episode. Let's talk about the flaws, first. The episode just feels really short and feels like it doesn't have much going on. While it's not Steven Universe at its worst, there's flaws to it, like any episode of a good show. Here's the story: Steven is having trouble summoning his shield, and Uncle Grandpa comes to his universe. I'll admit, I've heard stupider plots for crossovers. Then, they flat out state that the episode is non-canon. Then, Uncle Grandpa proceeds to sink Sadie and Lars' ship. Then the Gems go crazy and try to pretty much murder Uncle Grandpa. I can say everything wrong with that. The Gems fight for those different from them, and to see them attack somebody different from them is very hypocritical. There's some pretty funny parts about this episode, like Pearl going crazy about everything around her, the fourth-wall breaks and the ending with the checklist of all the famous Cartoon Network characters.
