Immediate reaction to Reformed

Alright, first off the big hype: we got to see new parts of the temple! Sure, they’re non-functional, but it’s still more than we saw during season one. Really, the amount of apparently dead space in the temple is quite perplexing. Hmmmmmmm… Need more evidence, need so much more evidence.

Of course that may be …

What to expect from Reformed

Well, just to get things out of the way: if anything bad happens to Pearl in this episode, we can be certain that it will be brief, perhaps even taken care of by the end of the episode. The commercials have only shown Amethyst, however, and… Well, there’s a chance that the title might be …

Song of the week: Death Rag

We can’t get the idea out of our head: a montage of Jamie’s failed auditions, him dressed up in full Shakespearean garb and deep in the drama zone. With, of course, everyone’s favorite jaunty piano rag providing the background music: Death Rag (now the song of the week as well!).

What could Love Letters mean?

With all episodes from Love Letters onward being produced in season two and meant to air as part of it, it looks like it’s a great time to take stock of what the rest of the season has to offer. Of the fifty-one episodes the that are meant as part of it, we’ve only seen three. One seventeeth …

What we learned from Love Letters

Ah, character episodes. You’d think they would be our bane, since we’re definitely in love with the lore of the show. The characters give meaning to the lore though, so we’re quite happy to see Jamie return (especially if we have an episode like Reformed coming up with a premise that implies some good chances for …

Immediate reaction to Love Letters

As expected, there’s little lore in this episode. Still, come curious elements were mentioned, as well as a current project the Crystal Gems are undertaking which makes a lot of sense and so gives us some ideas about what might happen later in the season.

Of more immediate note, however: Mama Sadie!
