Three season one episodes shifted to season two

  • March 4, 2015

whatdoesitmeanOh, this is messy. So now we have two seasons, one of 49 episodes and one of 55. Except some episodes from that second season were actually produced with the first season, so we have to make the distinction between production seasons and airing seasons, and…

Yeah, its makes our heads hurt too, but Matt Burnett confirmed that Jail Break (the 49th episode to air) will be the finale for season one and that the remaining episodes can stand alone and have been placed into season two.

On the other hand, that means that Full Disclosure will be the start of season two! Hurrah! That will make the inevitable hiatus all the more bearable.

What to expect from Marble Madness

  • March 4, 2015

Well there’s nothing like a crazy schedule change to make us want to reconsider the hype, but even though the droid in Marble Madness is a giant flask robonoid rather than another Red Eye we’re still calling this as one that will be super-interesting for us lore nerds.

Seriously, it came from space. Space is where all the cool stuff is, except for the cool stuff that’s left on Earth. Cool stuff like the Kindergarten, which it appears will also feature in this episode.

So this episode will hopefully tell us a bit more about the backstory of the Kindergarten(s), and probably more about the plans of the homeworld. It’s very interesting that they’re just sending another repair bot rather than an attack force.

Many new episodes to air March 9-13, 2015

  • March 3, 2015

This is crazy!Well forget the regular schedule of one new episode a week: Cartoon Network’s is planning to throw out at least one new episode a day next week. It would be exciting! But also confusing. Normally we’d just get Rose’s Scabbard on Thursday, but Ian Jones-Quartey has confirmed via his Twitter account that this is not only happening but was planned well in advance.

Most curious is that the obvious two-part season finale, The Return and Jail Break are being placed on a Thursday, and two more episodes from the season will be left un-aired at the end of the week.

The time slot is also changing to 5:00 PM EDT (GMT-4), so please do make sure to check for Steven Universe at its new time!

Read on to see what the schedule is looking like (as usual there are quite a few episode summaries):

PodcastTitleIn the fourth episode of the podcast, Ken, GC13, and Hunter go over Maximum Capacity. It looks like Amethyst may have taken a hit to her popularity but is still holding on.

Other questions asked are: Could Greg have done better if he had never met Rose? How long has Steven lived with the Crystal Gems? Is our paragon, Mayor Dewey, ready to become a villain?

Song of the week: Big Fat Zucchini

  • March 2, 2015

Wow. Amethyst. Seriously. Not cool. The song may originally be about Steven, and Amethyst may have been brought to her senses, but in the heat of the moment she was certainly a big fat meanie zucchini. That’s why Big Fat Zucchini is this week’s song of the week. Now who brought the linguine?

What could Maximum Capacity mean?

  • March 1, 2015

A character episode. That’s what Maximum Capacity is. And we still find things to speculate about. Someone help us: we think we have a problem.

What we learned from Maximum Capacity

  • February 28, 2015

Maximum Capacity is an episode centering on Amethyst and Greg (and Li’l Butler, of course, but that hardly needs to be mentioned); it’s not the kind of episode where we find clues about the conflict in the past or hints about the coming storm.

There’s one big character-related issue to talk about, however, so we’ll spill some pixels on that.

Immediate reaction to Maximum Capacity

  • February 26, 2015

Ooooooh… Looks like we had the right idea, just the wrong character. 🙂

This is another character episode; we’ll be hard-pressed to dig through it for some serious lore implications, but speculation? We think we’ll be able to manage that.

We also forgot to mention: the sweaters!
