PodcastTitleStevenBomb3GC13, Ken, and (if you listen until the end) Hunter discuss the start of #StevenBomb3, the beginning of #WeekOfSardonyx: Cry For Help.

There’s a lot to talk about. Who would have expected Sardonyx to turn out looking the way she did? What is the deal with the Crying Breakfast Friends? Should Garnet forgive Pear(l)?

Amethyst was willing to come to Pearl’s defense, so that’s a sign of real character growth after her introspection in Reformed.

We’re starting a five-episode story arc centered on Pearl, so who knows what’s gonna happen? Friday will probably end with a fusion. Who do you want it to be: Sardonyx or Opal?

Jeff Liu posts: Tower of Mistakes

  • July 14, 2015

Ah, Mr. Liu is getting in on the action again. He has posted Amethyst’s song from Cry For Help: Tower of Mistakes (0:54). The demo version (1:14) is also up if you’d like to listen to it.

 

Aivi and Surasshu post: Sardonyx

  • July 14, 2015

Well that was pleasantly quick! Aivi and Surasshu have posted the theme for Sardonyx (2:00). It’s so lively and upbeat (so very fitting), but don’t take our word for it: listen to it yourself.

Immediate reaction to Cry For Help

  • July 13, 2015

So it begins.

Well, we’ve (officially) seen Sardonyx, and the Pearl-haters will now never stop talking. Plus we’ve seen some actual clips from the Crying Breakfast Friends and we still don’t understand what Steven sees in that show.

Lore-wise, we’ve seen that there’s a limit to the damage that a flask robonoid can repair (and that it’s not even that hard to reach). We’ve also started a five-episode story arc, so don’t be surprised if Sardonyx shows back up in Friend Ship. We’re definitely crossing out fingers.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 33: Serious Steven

PodcastTitleGC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss the mural from the pyramid temple in Serious Steven. (Okay, they discuss the rest of the episode too, but who would talk about Serious Steven and not focus on the mural?)

It’s pretty much a given that the mural portrays Rose Quartz and the rest of the Diamonds, but we still haven’t learned everything that the mural has to tell us.

Steven was a much less-experienced character back in earlier episodes, and Serious Steven is an episode that shows that very clearly. He hasn’t lost his charm, but you won’t find Pearl tucking him under her arm anymore.

Dakota was recently on an episode of The Ringo Zone, so make sure to check it out.

Preview for Cry For Help

  • July 13, 2015

This was shown at the San Diego Comic Con, but in case you were waiting for Cartoon Network to release the high-quality video here’s the clip.

Fair warning, however: while episode previews don’t normally spoil much, this one spoils a lot. It’s worth it though. Even the thumbnail is a spoiler if you look at it, so we’re hiding that below the Read the Rest button.

Don’t forget: a new episode of Steven Universe every day starting Monday

  • July 11, 2015

stevenbomb3#StevenBomb3 is here, and that means another solid week of Steven! Every day at 6:00 PM EDT we’ll get a brand new episode.

There have actually been two summaries put up this time around, so we’ve selected the simpler ones. Read on if you want the faintest idea of what’s waiting for you when the bomb starts.

If not… Well, know it’s going to be one heck of a ride. The episode summaries may not give much away, but spoilers were being thrown around like candy at San Diego Comic Con. They’re not called Steven bombs for nothing.

Two days remain.

What were the “first battles for Earth”?

  • July 10, 2015

Here we’ve saved the best piece of speculation for last. In Sworn to the Sword, Pearl mentions that the first battles for Earth took place in the sky arena. Rose’s Scabbard makes it rather unlikely that Pearl could be referring to the rebellion, but there’s another possibility: it wasn’t the rebellion that started in the arena, but a contest for the right to colonize the Earth. The most likely opponents for the Gems to face in these opening battles would be humans.

What does We Need to Talk say about Rose Quartz?

  • July 9, 2015

Rose Quartz, Intergalactic Gem of Mystery. While she’s a legend in the series, and to the Crystal Gems, we don’t know a whole lot about her. She very carefully managed how others thought of her, and she seems to be thought of very differently by each of the five people/Gems who knew who she was and have given opinions (Amethyst, Garnet, Pearl, Greg, and Jasper if you’re curious whether we counted Ruby and Sapphire separately).
