What we learned from Marble Madness

We learned so much from Marble Madness—that’s what this post is for. Of course as always when we get questions answered new ones rise to take their place—that’s what tomorrow will be for.

Marble Madness is just about as important as Warp Tour for our understanding of the backstory of Steven Universe: just as you’d expect when …

Previews for #StevenBomb

Episode previews are back with a vengeance! CNPreview brings us a preview for each season-one episode that will be airing every day during #StevenBomb next week (at 5 PM EDT, not 6:30!).

Full Disclosure is still a mysterious mystery (of strange mystery). It’s a bit ironic, considering the name, but why worry about that when …

Jail Break is going to be huge

A blue Gem approximately Steven's height with shoulder pads, long hair, and a floor-length dress.

That’s not a spoiler, right? It’s the season finale of Steven Universe: it has to be huge! But some information has been circling around which is incredibly spoilerific! We mean it: if you don’t want to be spoiled on the season finale, you shouldn’t read this post. The good stuff is hidden below, and you’re …

Immediate reaction to Marble Madness

Alright, so we got a heavy, if brief, infodump in this episode. We finally have an approximate date for the Crystal Gem rebellion, which is fantastic. We also got a bit clued in to what happened to the Kindergarten, which itself has important implications for the backstory.

Also, the island from Island Adventure has a name now. Isn’t …

Inspired by the song “Shadows” by Lindsey Stirling, Wolfgrl13 (/u/ravegrl13 on Reddit) brings us this wonderful piece of fanart featuring Pearl and Holo-Pearl. You can check it out now via Reddit and on Instagram.

Three season one episodes shifted to season two

Oh, this is messy. So now we have two seasons, one of 49 episodes and one of 55. Except some episodes from that second season were actually produced with the first season, so we have to make the distinction between production seasons and airing seasons, and…

Yeah, its makes our heads hurt too, but Matt …

What to expect from Marble Madness

Well there’s nothing like a crazy schedule change to make us want to reconsider the hype, but even though the droid in Marble Madness is a giant flask robonoid rather than another Red Eye we’re still calling this as one that will be super-interesting for us lore nerds.

Seriously, it came from space. Space is where …

Many new episodes to air March 9-13, 2015

Well forget the regular schedule of one new episode a week: Cartoon Network’s is planning to throw out at least one new episode a day next week. It would be exciting! But also confusing. Normally we’d just get Rose’s Scabbard on Thursday, but Ian Jones-Quartey has confirmed via his Twitter account that this is not only happening but …
