GC13 and Hunter discuss the second double-length episode of Steven Universe: Gem Harvest. That Lapis joke though.
We want more Carl Andy on the show. Thankfully we’ll probably get more of him, because he’s funny and a really good guy.
Even if the Gems were being more befuddled by humanity than usual, that didn’t stop this from being a fun Thanksgiving episode. (Plus, it was a sign of two holidays being missing in Steven’s Universe: Thanksgiving and Halloween!)
Also, a merchandise update: eight new t-shirts have been added to the official Cartoon Network online store. Normally we wouldn’t update you for new merch, except this gem is one of the new shirts. You know what to do with this.

No re-runs this week. 🙁
Check back next week for scheduled re-runs and the premier of Three Gems and a Baby.
Immediate reaction to Gem Harvest
Gem Harvest is another episode that won’t be long-remembered for its lore (but it definitely will be long-remembered, don’t you worry about that!). Do you want to see the cast celebrate Thanksgiving without even having to mention the holiday? Because that’s what we got, and we’re definitely thankful for it!

GC13 is back with another solo episode, this time giving a brief discussion of what’s coming in Gem Harvest and Three Gems and a Baby. With the bonus informational stylings of an upcoming voice actress. You’re welcome.
We’ve actually seen a lot of Gem Harvest thanks to Comic Con—four minutes. It’s all setup though, so who knows where the episode will go from there? Especially with the commercial Cartoon Network is showing this week.
Three Gems and a Baby is sure to be sad. It might be another half-hour episode, but since it hasn’t been specifically announced as one it’s also possible that the schedule is just weird.
Finally, Ashly Burch is going to voice… Someone. Some time.

Looking back at The New Lars
Upon an initial viewing, The New Lars was some pretty intriguing stuff: Steven accidentally uses an upgraded version of his powers from Chille Tid and Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service to assume direct control of Lars, then gives us a great look at Lars’s relationship with others. We even saw his parents for the first time (sorry Mr. Smiley).
Considering it after the revelation of Back to the Moon though… Well, we’ll get there eventually, won’t we?
This episode is probably most notable, actually, for its company with Island Adventure as an episode that makes some people wonder if Lars can ever catch a break with fans. It’s definitely a weighty subject, but to weigh in very briefly we think that The New Lars ends quite sympathetically for Lars.
As for the question of Koala or Sloth, that might be a question for the podcast.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 112: Too Short to Ride

GC13 discusses a favorite episode of the Steven Nuke: Too Short to Ride. Alas, there was no Alexandrite to be found (see podcast episode 60, 14:48 into it).
Still, with Peridot around there’s not much disappointment to be found (certainly there are no union benefits to be found for poor Mr. Smiley). She has some really cute moments earlier in the episode, then an emotional roller coaster as intense as the physical one she was too short to ride.
There were some interesting lore tidbits though: Peridot’s claiming of rarity and importance, despite not being all that tall. Even bigger though, word of a resource shortage on the Homeworld, then not long after evidence that there actually is no resource shortage—and that, again, the Diamonds are not the designers of the Gems.
The plot thickens.
