Some episodes focus on lore (those are our favorites!), others on fun stuff, others on characters. There’s a mixture of all three in pretty much every episode, of course, but some episodes make it clear which they’re there to pay the most attention to.
Horror Club was definitely focused on characters, but it gave us something to talk about (and a lot to wonder about tomorrow), so we will now officially thank it for its offering.
Over the past few days Jeff Liu has posted a total of four tracks from On the Run. Not only do we have the background track for the No Home Boys, but we have three versions of the eponymous vocal song from the episode (including the 1:22 demo featuring Steven Universe storyboard artist Katie Mitroff performing Amethyst’s vocals).
This was definitely an episode about the characters. As expected we got to see a lot of Ronaldo, but Lars got his share of the spotlight too. Plus, Sadie was right there with the rest of them revealing a bit more about her character as well.
The lore haul might not be too big this week, but… Well, let’s just say we’re not completely empty-handed. 🙂
This episode really can go anywhere. Everything seems fairly quiet about it so far, but that’s good: after On the Run it would probably be a good idea for us to settle down, take a breather, and get to know some of our side characters a bit more. We’re always happy to see more Ronaldo.
The big question is how the magical twist comes into the episode. Will this be an episode like Lars and the Cool Kids that’s mostly about the mundane, only switching to the magical at the end, or will magic seep into the episode closer to the midway point? Probably later rather than sooner, but it will be really interesting to see Ronaldo interacting with people other than Steven and Peedee.
On the Run was a very significant episode with an unassuming synopsis. We don’t expect the crew to pull the same trick twice so quickly succession, but maybe that’s the trick? It looks like we’ll have to watch at 6:30 PM EST on February 19 to find out.

In the first episode of our podcast, Takuza, MexicanGameboy, and GC13 discuss On the Run and what could be coming at the end of season one. Is the Kindergarten the full extent of the homeworld’s plans for Earth, or was there more to it? What was Lapis Lazuli doing on Earth? How did the corruption occur?
Finally, and most importantly, there is an urgent call for fan art: please make your best picture of Pearl wielding an axe and getting a little too into the spirit of being a viking warrior and link to it in the comments section. We need it.
The jungle duo is at it again in On the Run. Leaving civilization behind they return home, and Purple Puma has a dramatic showdown with his arch-rival: the Beaked Wonder. Purple Puma and Tiger Millionaire is this week’s song of the week.

There was a lot yesterday that we wanted to talk about but had to wait on. Today is the day to run wild, however: it’s speculation day! Like any good lore episode, On the Run asked as least as many questions as it answered. It’s time to go in and wonder about some of those questions.
