Yep. But the episodes were still awesome. :) I saw the arcade one, the test one, and the future vision one and loved them all. Steven and Garnet are so totally adorable. And it was so sweet in The Test when Steven finds out what the Gems are really thinking and it looks like he's storming over all mad, and then he starts praising them for the (fake) obstacle course. Gah. So squeeable.
"We don't need safewords." Oh gosh.
It really made my opinion of Jamie Dornan go down when I heard he'd been cast as the lead, too. I know probably all actors have been in at least one role that's pretty bad, but some of them will refuse to do certain parts, so it does kind of make me wonder what kind of person he is to accept this one. Ugh.
Yeah, that is exactly my fear as well, that its straight-up promotion of an abusive relationship as something that can be good and wonderful and romantic is going to make much more of a problem with domestic violence than there already is. And cause a lot more people to be hurt.
