Ratings for Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem

It looks like Steven Universe did pretty well in the ratings on Thursday: Zap2It is reporting 2.335 million viewers for Steven Universe last night, which is a new record for the show.

Let’s all just hope this is a sign of things to come. Mr. Burnett seems to say that we’re going to be getting a much …

Immediate reaction to Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem

Well, it looks like we won’t be getting our Fortune Telling merit badge any time soon.

Still, these episodes gave us the best kind of look at the lore: they confirmed what we already had been able to guess, and gave us something tantalizing to look out for in future episodes.

So, take this away:

Aivi and Surasshu post: Overgrown Brambles

Another song from An Indirect Kiss, today we get to listen to Overgrown Brambles (2:24).

 

What to expect from Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem

Well, tomorrow’s the big day. Steven Universe will complete its first twenty-six episode batch with a two-part bonanza. It’s going to be spectacular.

We know there are twenty-six more episodes of season one and fifty-two episodes of season two coming. However, Cartoon Network initially ordered only twenty-six episodes. You can bet good money that Mirror Gem …

Cookie Cat by DragonBeak

Aivi and Surasshu post: Rose’s Fountain

Aivi and Surasshu have posted Rose’s Fountain (1:02) from An Indirect Kiss. It does indeed sound a lot like this week’s featured song: The Hill,which makes sense considering the heavy association both of them have with Rose Quartz.

Song of the week: The Hill

In honor of Rose Quartz’s heavy involvement in An Indirect Kiss, this week’s selected song is The Hill, from Lars and the Cool Kids. This song seems to be Rose’s theme, and was also featured in extended form in An Indirect Kiss when the fountain was restored.

What could An Indirect Kiss mean?

As we saw in yesterday’s post, An Indirect Kiss was rather heavy with potential implications for the lore of Steven Universe. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s more of an episode that sets us up to recognize answers hinted at later in the series rather than one that gives us any.

What are the gems?

Amethyst …
