His hand gets pinched by a one-eyed crab - this will come up later. Ronaldo was filming from the backseat of the Fryman car as the town evacuated, but he missed catching the moment when the ship “exploded into an explosion.” Instead he provides a re-enactment with his fist and a little ramp. Next up is more footage from the events of The Return. Back to the interview, Ronaldo hugs Peedee and tells him he’s here for him, then immediately undercuts it by saying it’s great drama. He cuts to footage of Peedee clinging to the Fry Shack from The Return. Ronaldo interviews Peedee next, which devolves into Ronaldo teasing him about how he was scared and cried a lot. She asks what Ronaldo is filming for, and the camera cuts away abruptly before he answers. Ronaldo first interviews “local business owner” Nanefua, who talks about how she was cleaning fish when the ship arrived, and the loud noise caused her to drop the fish and run outside. He makes dramatic sound effects while zooming in on a picture of the Crystal Gems.Īs someone who has had to watch a few too many amateur Bigfoot “documentaries” while visiting her family, I do appreciate the level of accurate detail they have in this episode. “Beach City needed to be saved, but from what?” Ronaldo narrates. We cut to Ronaldo’s ACTUAL FOOTAGE of the approaching hand ship from The Return. This includes the time he was attacked by many Watermelon Stevens in the episode of the same name, and the instance in Steven’s Lion when he took Steven’s joke about “eating for two” to mean that Steven was actually pregnant. Ronaldo is sitting in front of a crude backdrop with a “KBCW” banner as he explains his mission to “expose the truth.” Images of previous topics he’s written about scroll across the screen. You can see the enormous crater left behind by the Gem ship crashing on the side of the hill.įor some reason I didn’t realize how close the Big Donut was to Steven’s house, which explains why he’s there all the time. The documentary opens with a pan across the Boardwalk. “Keep Beach City Weird” is the name of Ronaldo’s blog, first mentioned in Cat Fingers. The opening is a parody of the amateurish, vaguely creepy intros that were common on VHS tapes in the 80s and 90s. The documentary primarily concerns the attack of the Homeworld Gems and the Gem battleship crashing into Beach City in The Return / Jail Break, hence “Crashing Skies.”
The “Rising Tides” portion of the title presumably refers to the events of Ocean Gem, even though those are not mentioned directly in the episode.
Unfortunately for them, it turns out it’s simply the very dramatic title that Ronaldo gives to his documentary about the Crystal Gems. Leading up to this episode’s broadcast, a number of people assumed that the very dramatic title meant a plot-heavy episode - for example, the “rising tides” could refer to the return of Malachite. Spoilers for episodes beyond the current point will be enclosed in Future Vision blocks, which will include spoilers for the entire series. Spoiler Policy: All spoilers up to and including the currently discussed episode will be unmarked.
