I watched Chille Tid, I found it really intresting when Steven
was able to communicate with Lapis Lazuli in his dreams. I'm
really hoping to see her in a future episode. (By the way, Pearl's
dream made me laugh!)
EDIT: I wish this show could come on more but Cartoon
Network tries to cram Teen Titans Go! down my throat.
I find Steven Universe and The Amazing World of
Gumball the only good shows on Cartoon Network.

I know the pain. It was bad enough that the new show basically spits on everything the old show was, but they show it constantly all day, and whenever they advertise it, they say "your new favorite show", and I'm sitting there like "do they not know what they're saying?"

They made Robin a total jerk. (he's so sexist in the show)

So I watched the pilot earlier today. Then I read the comments on it, and saw a bunch of people fussing about Pearl's show appearance versus her pilot appearance. And apparently this is a thing? Like, people being annoyed at the redesign she got?
I'm aware this might just be personal bias because I saw the show before seeing the pilot, but I don't really get it. Pilot Pearl is... kind of ugly. Like, the color scheme mostly. She's got gray skin and her hair, due to being a vibrant shade of pink, sucks what little color there is right out of her face, making her look kind of... sickly. Compare this to Opal, who also has gray skin, but has a more neutral hair color and thus avoids that problem (so I assume they were aware of this).
Show Pearl's color scheme is much easier on the eyes, the more subdued pastel colors accentuating her look instead of detracting from it. On top of that, her design is cleaner, brighter, and more tidy, which fits the character a lot better.
Or at least that's how I see it.

People don't like change, but I'm definitely glad they refined her design: even when I was just casually browsing through art and didn't have a personal connection, I was always struck by how terrible Pearl's pilot design was. As well as the colour stuff, she looked like a dude with a lumpy garbage bag wrapped around his lower body, and like Rebecca Sugar says in her response there, she's not that unique-looking, whereas now, she's unmistakable as well as a lot cleaner in design (especially after they replaced the earlier sheer tutu and top with her newer totally-opaque outfit).

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an episode when Steven
meets his mom in person. If Cartoon Network cancels this
show and leaves up with a cliffhanger, i'm switiching to
a different channel.

I will be so upset if they did cancel/end the show before that happens. God, even the thought of that episode is making me feel.
There's so much unknown in the show, and so much to learn...this show is at least good for the rest of the season, but I doubt that would be enough to explain everything we want to know about the gems.
tbh, I'd be fine if he never meets her. I suppose there is a possibility that they'd be able to talk in some sorta mindscape setting, but it's been established that they can't co-exist and I'd kinda like if that absolute stayed absolute. Real kids don't get to meet their dead mothers, and I think it's more interesting to see him learn about who she was through stories, places, items, the occasional video, and lion. And to see how he's naturally just like her in a lot of ways, and how the relationships between him and her loved ones evolves.
It occurs to me that the fused Gem outlines kinda look like Pilot!Pearl, thanks to the pompadour hairdos.Lapis Lazuli said:
