Song of the week: Heart of the Pyramid

If there’s one thing The Test gave us more of an appetite for, it’s death chambers meant to deceive their hapless inhabitants. Therefore, we’re getting to the heart of the matter by making Heart of the Pyramid this week’s song of the week.

 

Steven Universe air times for January 26 – February 1, 2015

Steven Universe will be back to a regular schedule next week. Until then, it still gets its premier and we can still cross our fingers for some Sunday re-runs like last week.

Thursday:
6:30 PM EST: Future Vision
6:45 PM EST: The Test

What could The Test mean?

Rare is the Steven Universe episode that doesn’t try to sneak at least some little nugget of wisdom past us, and The Test isn’t about to break with tradition. We learned a fair bit from the episode, but there are also the more subtle hints that require a bit of teasing out and more time to see …

Good news for January 25 and February

This has certainly been an interesting week for Steven Universe’s schedule. However there has been another update to the weekly schedule: Sunday, January 25, 2015 will see two big blocks in both the morning and the evening.

Also, the good signs we observed on Monday have turned out to be accurate. While the week of …

What we learned from The Test

Ratings for The Test

Well apparently not re-running at all this week didn’t hurt Steven Universe’s ratings: it hung in there against the other Cartoon Network premiers just as well as it always has and got 1,935,000 viewers on The Test‘s premier.

Immediate reaction to The Test

This is definitely a good episode to watch unspoiled. Its point is wonderful, and it’s not a bad idea to make sure you see it fresh the first time.

Invader by Rice-Lily

More Peridot, this time battling two of the artist’s OCs with a very nice background. Check out the full-size version on DeviantArt!

What to expect from The Test

We’ve been looking forward to this. The preview has already made it clear that the test at the Lunar Sea Spire was just opportunistic, so the site’s namesake is still legitimate (though still unfortunately collapsed and underwater).

This episode could go a lot of ways. Really it’s a fantastic chance to highlight how Steven has …

New episode: Future Vision will air on January 29, 2015

This one should be good. Maybe if we’re really good the lore fairy will teach us a little bit about Garnet. At the very least we should finally get a taste for how powerful she actually is (which we’re guessing the answer is “really”). Be sure to check it out on Thursday, January 29 at …
