The current state of the homeworld

We’ve seen enough of the Gem homeworld to be able to make some assumptions about it. As we get more information our guesses should become more accurate, but these aren’t wild stabs in the dark: it all meshes with what we’ve seen previously to paint a consistent picture of the modern homeworld.

In short, the …

Immediate reaction to Joy Ride

Well happy days! We may not have got everything we wanted out of Joy Ride, but we’re super-glad about at least one thing it set in motion. (Don’t get too excited though, eh?) It’s also great to have confirmation on Sour Cream’s relation to Onion: they’re step-brothers.

Nothing too lore-heavy in this episode, just a …

The rulers of the homeworld

Almost all of our exposure to Gemkind takes the form of three (or four, depending on how you count) rebels who have been away from their brethren for thousands of years. We’ve been given enough hints to make some guesses about who rules in Gem society; it’s probably been stable (the titles in place, if not …

What to expect from Joy Ride

Well, from the preview and commercials we know we’re getting more of the cool kids (which we kind of expected out of the episode just based off of the name).

We’re happy to see from the preview that the cleanup effort after Peridot’s ship crashed will be ongoing for at least a little while. Really …

New episode: Say Uncle will air on April 2, 2014

Well, it’s finally here: the Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa crossover. Some have been dreading this day, but the crew behind Steven Universe seems to be really confident in this episode, and now we’re finally going to see how well they did with it.

The date of April 2nd, right after April Fools, might make …

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”.
