When Garnet first said it I felt like it was out of character for Garnet and just plain mean, but when he finally thought of a comeback and used it to go back and earn them, tell the Crystal Gems how to beat the Electric Skill, I figured out that Garnet was thinking ahead. What at first seemed like a crude insult turned out to be key strategy since Garnet knew that only Steven could use the "time thingy" and only for comebacks. The show is full of moments like that, where you think you know what's going on, but later you find out something new that makes you rethink your prior assumptions. Then there are things set up in one episode that don't pay off till much later, like the glowing red bracelet we see in the freezer briefly in Gem Glow, then several episodes later in Bubble Buddies Steven retrieves the bracelet from the freezer and gives it to Connie. It's things like that which makes Steven Universe a great show and one that gets better with repeat viewings, especially after something big is revealed (like, SPOILER ALERT, when we learned in Jail Break that Garnet is and has been a Fusion, not out of necessity, but out of LOVE, you pretty much have to go back and rewatch all the previous episodes again)!
