Dinoboygreen, what moonrabbit was trying to say the entire time was that the writers were using foreshadowing (taking something that seems incredibly insignificant that turns out to be incredibly significant) to drop hints about whats coming for the future. yes, ronaldo was a crackpot. so, what better oprotunity than to use him as a sneeky plot device? to be fair its easy to miss, but diamonds actually apear a lot on what we presume to be the enemies of the crystal gems. take a look at peridot and lapis's outfits. there are triangular and DIAMOND like paterns, all over. (and like if you look at the crystal gems outfits they all have Stars, which is what i am assuming is a symbol either for "good" or just crystal gems in general.) and also, like, as soon as you heard "polymorphic sentiant rocks" how did your ears not perk up? that is LITERALLY what the gems ARE. no its not a coincidence!!! youre telling me that the writters sat down and WROTE THAT LINE and it just happend to be a "coincidence". like,, no. it would have been dismisable if he kept rambling about snake people, but no he literally described what gems are, named a specific type of gem,,,, so, after On the Run, and we see that the gems from the homeworld were DRILLING INTO THE EARTH to create new gems, we have all learned a valuable lesson in foreshadowing. :'] First off, no need to be condescending about it. Secondly, while I fully admit I was wrong about the drilling the Earth and creating new Gems thing (In fact, in retrospect, it's not quite as disturbing as I'd pictured the process), but here's the thing: I don't call it a coincidence because it's part of the plot; I call it a coincidence that he actually got it RIGHT. I'm sorry, but nobody- NOBODY can be that right! Was it foreshadowing? Yes, but I still find it fishy that he just so happened to come upon the plot without even the Crystal Gems realizing it.

Besides, I STILL don't think it's part of some "Great Diamond Authority". Perhaps I'm being stubborn here, but it just doesn't sound right.
