Preview: Everything’s Changing

If you haven’t seen this (how?), then take a look. Unless you don’t like spoilers, in which case you should stay far, far away. This clip probably pegs your Wow-O-Meter at whatever its highest reading is, which is why it’s hidden safely under the Read the Rest of This Entry button.

More previews are out, but this one takes priority.

Say hello to the Steven bombs

happymechperidotSomehow there just isn’t a term grand enough for this. According to Mr. Burnett, we are getting the entirety of season three during the summer. That’s a lot of episodes to air in just a month, so we’ll be getting episodes pretty much every Monday through Friday.

Are you ready? Can you handle it? We’ll say it again: get ready fandom, this is going to be intense.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 94: Alone Together

PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter are alone together to discuss Alone Together, one of the heavier-hitting episodes of the series.

So, this episode was a big one. Not so significant for the story arc (which Warp Tour was a crucial episode in), but with so much to say not just about the characters but about relationships in the real world.

Of course Steven and Connie are just adorable, and the real question is when we’ll get to see more of Stevonnie (not counting their very brief appearance in We Need to Talk).

For those curious, this is the article about the episode mentioned by Hunter, and this is the drawing of Stevonnie by Ms. Mitroff.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 93: Warp Tour

PodcastTitleGC13, Sophia, and Dakota discuss a big episode: Warp Tour.

So Peridot didn’t turn out to be the biggest, baddest Gem we’d ever see—in fact she turned out to be great and lovable! That doesn’t make her reveal any less amazing.

Looking back on Warp Tour with the benefit of knowledge gained in later episodes we know why the homeworld was finally returning to Earth after so long. At the moment though? With no information? That’s quite a bomb to drop in the series.

Now Peridot is small and living in a barn with Lapis. (Jasper next? Maybe? Please?)

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 92: Pink Diamond Theory

PodcastTitleGC13 comes out for another solo episode discussing a favorite theory: that Rose used to be or used to work for Pink Diamond, the missing fourth member of the Great Diamond Authority.

It’s a well-known theory, though less popular in its strict Rose-as-Pink-Diamond form after It Could’ve Been Great. GC13 still hasn’t lost faith in the greatness of Rose, however, though Rose’s greatness would certainly not be diminished if she were a champion of Pink Diamond.

In addition to an overview of the theory there are a couple fun hints from the show, one leading more towards Rose being a champion, the other towards Rose being a Diamond herself. Who knows where the show will take us when it finally makes its reveal?

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 91: In Too Deep

PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter discuss the In Too Deep event, plus ask for more Steven Universe comics or a webcomic and a more consistent airing schedule (pretty please?).

So, the bad news: we never found out what they really are (still, it made for a great commercial). On the plus side, Lapis is integrating well, and Peridot is still great and lovable. Let’s also never forget: Ruby! Ruby! Ruby. Ruby! Ruby. And Ruby!

Plus, Super Watermelon Island was just a great fight. Steven’s not just a great coach, he’s a great inspirational speaker. His father does, after all, live in a van down by the car wash.
