Immediate reaction to Super Watermelon Island and Gem Drill

  • May 12, 2016

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.

What to expect from Super Watermelon Island and Gem Drill

  • May 11, 2016

Well, we can’t really make predictions about Super Watermelon Island because we know pretty much exactly what’s going to happen (the spoilers have gotten even thicker since then, if you can believe it). So basically, we’ve been out-Ronaldoed by Cartoon Network this time around.

For one episode, anyway. We still have Gem Drill to wonder about. We’ve seen just enough from previews to be intrigued, but not enough to have any idea what will happen. Hopefully saying that their mission will probably succeed isn’t much of a spoiler (there are, after all, three more weeks of In Too Deep left). This is the first of three good episodes for “what we really are” though, so let’s see if any history from the rebellion comes up.

New episode: Same Old World will air on May 19, 2016

  • May 10, 2016

In Too Deep will be continuing next week with the premier of one new episode: Same Old World will be premiering at 7:00 PM EDT. We’d say it was mysterious, but there is information out there for people who don’t mind spoilers.

PodcastTitleGC13, Sophia, and Hunter discuss, in a wonderful coincidence, the closest thing Steven Universe has to a Mother’s Day special: Lion 3: Straight to Video.

It’s an adorable episode, with lots of wonderful cat humor coming from the interaction of Steven and Lion. Plus Pearl sometimes watches Steven sleep—and by sometimes we mean often.

Steven finally learns a bit of what his mother is like, and Sadie appreciates her own mother a bit more. Us? We’re happy to have this early look at Barb’s character, which matches up with her behavior in Sadie’s Song.

What is Lion, anyway? That’s an answer we might just get some day.

PodcastTitleGC13 and Sophia discuss the first in a string of good old episodes: Watermelon Steven. (Not everybody likes it just for the assault against Ronaldo.)

Steven is crowned king by a Greg who is surprisingly good at chomping through a watermelon rind, and Steven shows off the impressive watermelon seed spitting genes that his father gave him. Do you think it would be fair for him to enter contests?

Seeing the new fighting techniques of the Crystal Gems was a treat, as was the sight of a three-dollar bill.

Are you ready for new episodes to begin? There’s only one more week of retrospective looks at old episodes before we get new episodes.
