Now that #StevenBomb2.0 has finished we can sit back and take stock of it. While we got a lot of speculation fuel, we also got some hard facts too. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be discussing the following episodes:

Rising Tides, Crashing Skies
It’s here that it was confirmed that monsters are drawn to the Crystal Gems somehow. The big draw, however, is the tidbit of information about the temple: if the Crystal Gems were to move, they wouldn’t be able to simply move the entrance to the temple with them.

Keeping It Together
The glimpse at the forced fusion plotline was good, but what we can take away for sure is what Garnet told Steven about long-term fusion, and presumably how it differs from what Steven and Connie have experienced as Stevonnie.

We Need To Talk
This was the first big look we got at what Rose Quartz was actually like (though we got a peek in Lion 3: Straight to Video), so that’s definitely cause for discussion.

Argh, it’s like twisting a knife in our chest. That’s one heck of a cliffhanger to go back to a hiatus on. Well, at least we have a good idea who’s going to get their plotline resolved during the mid-season finale. 😀

So we learned a very interesting new ability that Gems seem to have (though it doesn’t seem to be common), and we’ve learned that when Gems pretend-sleep they get much closer to real sleep than perhaps the name would indicate.

Oh yes, and we are awarded zero points for predicting that the episode, while containing a slumber party, would actually be about something else.

So, that’s #StevenBomb2.0. With no episode premier scheduled for next week, it looks like we’re back to the hiatus. Don’t worry guys, Steven will be back in no time! For now though, it’s chille tid.
