PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter discuss what is certain to be the most precious episode of the In Too Deep event: Barn Mates. Let the wacky roommate comedy commence! In a different episode…

So Lapis certainly has good reason to be angry. Poor Peridot is so new at this whole friendship thing (and not making people feel bad), so making friends was already going to be a tough proposition even without someone with such useful information as her target new buddy.

It’s okay, because Lapis eventually comes around. Next stop: Jasper? We can certainly dream, but two out of three wouldn’t be bad either, right?

What we learned from Barn Mates

  • May 28, 2016

A character-driven episode always leaves us without much lore to look at, but in this case we got some characterization that might also tell us a bit about the Gem homeworld. After all, what is the homeworld except for a large collection of characters that we currently don’t know much about?

Ratings for Barn Mates

  • May 27, 2016

Impressively, despite getting little to no advertising compared to some of the other shows (Steven Universe and Regular Show got little to no advertising, and Adventure Time got precious little), Barn Mates did well enough for Steven Universe to again top the Cartoon Network premiers this week with 1,371,000 viewers. Good on you, Crewniverse.

Here’s how the premiers did this week:

  1. Steven Universe at 7:00 PM with 1,371,000
  2. Adventure Time at 7:30 PM with 1,355,000
  3. Regular Show at 7:45 PM with 1,352,000
  4. Powerpuff Girls at 6:30 PM with 1,267,000
  5. Teen Titans Go! at 6:00 PM with 1,267,000 (a tie)
  6. Clarence at 5:30 PM with 1,071,000
  7. Amazing World of Gumball at 5:00 PM with 1,051,000

Immediate reaction to Barn Mates

  • May 26, 2016

This isn’t a lore episode, it’s a character building episode. Lapis is here for the long haul, and even though there have been dozens of episodes since she appeared she’s only starting to get her character developed.

That’s okay though! We love lore, but we love it best when it’s revealed to and by characters we’ve become invested in over time.

Don’t forget to watch Barn Mates on Thursday

Just in case you missed the countdown timer, Barn Mates will be airing tomorrow at 7 PM EDT. Don’t miss it!

PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter discuss the first episode of Steven Universe where Lapis has actually been happy: Same Old World.

There’s a flashback with lots of interesting goodies (including a Gem who has intrigued the fanbase and we hope to see again), as well as a bright future ahead for Lapis and Peridot (who may either become a farmer or simply work at the Big Donut).

It also had some very interesting animation, some very big hair, and was the first in-show appearance of Steven’s new hot dog duffel bag from the online short. We’re calling this a huzzah!
