Immediate reaction to Room for Ruby

We learned a valuable lesson, one even with some lore attached: never underestimate the story power of character episodes. 😉

So yes, even though this was a story episode, it looks like we learned a very important lesson about balloons: sometimes, you just have to pop one.

Room for Ruby will air at 7:30 PM EST tonight, not 7:00 PM

In a last-minute schedule change, Room for Ruby is apparently airing half an hour later than previously planned. Make sure to keep an eye out, but expect it to be on at 7:30 PM EST tonight instead of the originally planned 7:00 PM.

New Steven Universe game: Save the Light

The first Steven Universe mobile game, Attack the Light, is getting a sequel, and this time it will be on consoles! Save the Light was just announced by developers Grumpface Studios and appears to sport some pretty nifty stuff.

You’ll be able to customize your party this time around, and you won’t be limited to Gems either: screenshots show Greg and Connie as party members in combat.

We’ll be learning more soon, since the team will be at PAX East covering the game.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 129: Tiger Philanthropist

GC13 and Sophia talk about the newest, mewest episode: Tiger Philanthropist.

If ever there was a time where Lars was all of us, this was it (though we are not an individual, we are complex!). As individuals we do appear to be a lot better at knowing what we want than Lars, but then we’re not stand-ins for a thousands-strong fandom.

So even if the episode could have stood to have a bit more time to really stretch its arms out and settle into place, we got some fun wrestling. It wasn’t as good as Tiger Millionaire, but it didn’t have to be.

Besides, the Good Looking Gang ended up with the tag-team belts. Though they may not be as great as the Jungle Duo, the Good Looking Gang were always worthy competitors, and we wish them luck in their future matches.

Steven Universe air times for March 6-12, 2017

Friday:
7:30 PM EST: Room for Ruby

New episode: Room for Ruby to air on March 10, 2017

The weekly episodes continue! This time we get the very interestingly named Room for Ruby, airing on Friday, March 10 at 7:00 PM EST (it has since been moved to 7:30 PM EST). Cartoon Network probably doesn’t have to put out any hype bait promos for this one, since the name does that job all by itself!

Immediate reaction to Tiger Philanthropist

No, there’s no lore in this one (unless we’re going to start a site for Beach City Underground Wrestling, in which case a huge story arc just finished). This one was all about the wrestling.

We love you, Tiger Millionaire.

Ratings for Rocknaldo

Rocknaldo was seen by 1,100,000 viewers when it premiered on Friday. Only one other Cartoon Network show premiered a new episode last week, so here’s how they did.

  1. Steven Universe at 7:00 PM with 1,100,000
  2. Clarence at 6:30 PM with 847,000

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 128: Rocknaldo

GC13 goes solo to discuss Rocknaldo, why Ronaldo is not just a fantastic character but also a wonderful human being, and to beg for an episode with Ronaldo and Jamie hanging out.

There are too many funny moments in this episode to name, but the one Avatar fans will probably love the most is Ronaldo’s “that’s rough buddy” at the end. You should put that in the Ronalphlet, Ronaldo.

Tiger Philanthropist is up next week. Be there.

(Speaking of Tiger Philanthropist, how is it that Purple Puma has got so many cameos since Tiger Millionaire aired – way more than the two GC13 can remember off the cuff – yet Tiger Millionaire hasn’t been so much as hinted at?)
