Song of the week: Steven’s Confession

Steven had a lot to get off of his chest, but the important thing is that he told the truth. That’s enough to make Steven’s Confession the song of the week (and Rose’s room a continual dispenser of wisdom).

After #StevenBomb: predictions for season two

It’s not too late to write this, since technically Open Book was produced with the rest of season one. With Joy Ride, the first episode of season two not to premier during #StevenBomb, however, it’s time to make some predictions about what will happen over the course of the season.

There are fifty-one episodes to go, plus …

What we learned from Open Book

Getting a second look at Rose’s room is a welcome opportunity to start talking about it (especially since we weren’t around back when its first appearance, in Rose’s Room appropriately enough). We know it has its limits, but how it functions can only be explained with the broad brush of “Gem magic”.

Preview for Joy Ride

It feels good to have the previews going again. This one comes to us from a little-used YouTube account, carl3541, and shows us Steven and his appreciation for all basic shapes.

 

Immediate reaction to Open Book

Yep, definitely a character episode. There’s not too much lore to be found in this one, though we enjoyed having a second look at Rose’s room. The twist was very interesting; of course we had no reason to fear another bog-standard plotline.

What to expect from Open Book

It’s an episode where two characters are in a room that will do anything they ask. Steven knows not to ask for too much, so we’re not going to see Rose’s room over-taxed again. What could possibly go wrong, then?

Well surely you’ve seen some variant of the killer VR plotline (the holodeck from Star …

The end of the rebellion: as of the start of season two

Marble Madness gave us questions we couldn’t answer, but when The Return and Jailbreak aired we got… To put it lightly a LOT more material we could use. This includes some great hints about the Crystal Gem rebellion for Earth, and how it ended. Once the hints are lined up in the right order, the conclusion really …

New episode: Joy Ride will air on March 26, 2015

Well, as the first season two episode (in production order) to air on the regular schedule, Joy Ride has the honor of being the first episode we don’t have a synopsis on far in advance. Aren’t you all excited? The thrill of the unknown?

It looks like we’ll all just have to tune in on March …
