This episode exceeded expectations on the lore front. We’ve had one theory directly confirmed (though it was pretty strongly implied already before), and another all but directly confirmed (it’s not what was said, it’s what was shown). Flashbacks really are fantastic, aren’t they?

Plus, as far as setting the show up for the future? Well, that hope was definitely realized (as we all knew it would be, thanks to the leaks, but it’s still good to see).

Have you seen the previews? This one has some potential. Perhaps not in Same Old World itself, but it should set us up for having another fountain of lore. That alone would be something to be excited about, but there’s also a chance that we could get a sentence or two about the modern Gem homeworld compared to how things were back in the old days. Since the Gem homeworld is kind of a big thing in our lore book right now, we have our fingers crossed.

When you wrap up two major plotlines you’re bound to give some good lore out, and fans like us are sure to appreciate it. It’s been quite a while since we’ve done lore implications for weekly episodes, so let’s find out together if we still remember how.

We’re back with a two-parter, and both episodes were packed full of stuff (action and introspection). Not to give too much away, but there’s a recurring topic of interest that came up in both episodes, plus some information about homeworld, and a bit more we learned about the watermelon Stevens and the Cluster.

So yes, two very good episodes to think of for new lore-related information. As far as stuff to speculate on, however? We’ll have to mull it. There’s at least one huge plot hook thrown out, but speculating about lore? We’ll see.
