What to expect from Secret Team

  • October 15, 2014

Secret Team airs tomorrow. The preview shows Steven and Amethyst as they are about to cause Pearl to drop a bubble containing gem shards; Amethyst has said Garnet will be mad at Pearl having the bubble, and identifies it as one of Rose Quartz’s (which you can see is distinctively pink, just as Amethyst’s are purple and Pearl’s are white).

This appears to be an episode that will show us a bit more about the temple the Crystal Gems inhabit. Pearl is in her room with the bubble, so when she drops the gem shards they will probably be washed away into the waterfall; a search through the areas the waterfall leads to will probably ensue, and that just wouldn’t be fun if it simply led to Amethyst’s room. They’ll most likely plan for Steven to be the one to re-bubble it, so it will look like Rose’s bubble. We’ll probably also get a little bit more exposition about Rose or the backstory since Pearl will certainly be asked what she was doing with that bubble.

However, a fun thing to watch out for: Garnet will probably find out about their secret team in the end. And if Mr. Burnett wasn’t just being silly… We might see her bury Pearl and Amethyst at the end of the episode, until they learn their lesson. 🙂

Next week we’ll get to see another Steven Universe episode, Island Adventure, at the usual time: 6:45 PM EST.

Because of all the hubbub with Comic Com, we’ve actually gotten an episode preview for it early, so be sure to check that out if you missed it. Other than that, here’s the summary as always:

Island Adventure:
Steven takes Lars and Sadie on a vacation to a magical beach to mend their friendship.

Usually we have to wait longer for episode previews, but this week was special because of Comic Con. Here’s a clip from next week’s episode, Island Adventure:

 

Song of the week: Drop the Strawberry

  • October 13, 2014

Space Race was great fun, and in honor of Pearl’s intense concentration on making the Universe Mach 3, this week’s featured song is Drop the Strawberry. It’s the perfect tune to work by, whether you’re trying to get your breakfast or your spaceship just right.

Space Race and the future of Steven Universe

  • October 12, 2014

Space Race told us a lot with very small signs, and when we went over the lore implications of the episode we did our best not to speculate too much—just the things that were almost assured. However, anyone who was paying attention could see that we were introduced to a very important concept that’s almost certain to come up again in the big season finale.

Today we’ll try to tease out what exactly this means not just for the finale, but for the lore of the show as well.

What we learned from Space Race

  • October 11, 2014

Space Race was a very handy episode. Not only did we get a Pearl episode, with a healthy dose of Greg, but we got to uncover a bit more of the series. Some of it was hinted at in previous episodes, but at least one fact is totally new. Plus, we may just have seen a bit of foreshadowing for later…

This post will only cover what we now know for certain. Tomorrow we’ll have our usual post speculating about what secrets might be in store for us later.

Immediate reaction to Space Race

  • October 9, 2014

Oh yeah, we’re definitely feeling oracular after this one. Not to spoil things too much for those who haven’t seen it yet, but we feel like we got pretty close to the mark yesterday.

So what’s affected? Both Backstory and Locations will have more information, though maybe not as much as we’d have dreamed. Still, some big answers came out of Space Race, so it’s a win for everyone.

As is usual Saturday we’ll post the more detailed lore implications, and Sunday we’ll post our speculation about what the facts we’ve learned might mean and how they fit into the broader lore.
