GC13 and David discuss Steven’s Dream, the start of Out of This World and our first present-day look at Blue Diamond.

Check out Greg’s new watch! We know he didn’t lose it when he was alien-abducted, since he wasn’t wearing it in Korea (or in the van for that matter), so where did it go? Mr. Greg has a lot of important things to spend money on, so hopefully he doesn’t need a new watch already.

Plus, this episode is your random reminder that we still haven’t had the mural from Serious Steven explained yet. Maybe a character will explain it for us, but can life be so perfect?

GC13 and Sophia discuss the best new late-night talk show on the air: Know Your Fusion. Play us in, Jorge!

Sardonyx is a star of the episode (perhaps even the lead, much to her later dismay), so it’s only natural to talk about her. What kind of fusion did you expect out of Garnet and Pearl after seeing what Opal and Sugilite were like?

Still, the fusion-to-fusion sitdown does characterize them both very well, with Smoky Quartz having plenty of time to feel insecure and Sardonyx providing the backdrop for the chat.

Also, this episode reminds us that we are not just on Opal Watch, we are also still on Sugilite Watch.

GC13 and David discuss the spoilerific (we think) promotional footage shown at the Steven Universe panel at San Diego Comic Con 2017.

So, Lars of the Stars? Are you hyped yet? Whether it feels real or not, it definitely feels awesome.

We have a Gem going full Saturday morning cartoon villain in a fully Pirates of the Caribbean atmosphere. Oh, and Lars says “Bingo Bongo.” It’s transcendent.

It’s not all fun and games though: a trailer was played showing much more sober times on Earth. Perhaps we could all enjoy a ripping adventure among the stars to lion the mood.

Soundtrack vinyl set available for pre-order

  • July 22, 2017

It happened much sooner than we expected: the vinyl edition of the Steven Universe soundtrack has gone up for pre-order on iam8bit.com.

It will cost you $50 to buy, and will have all 37 tracks on four 10″ colored records (with their appearances themed on one each of Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet).

There is no specific shipping date: “Q4 2017” is all we have at the moment. Anyone who pre-orders before the end of July 25 Pacific time will be entered to win a ukulele signed by Ms. Sugar herself.

Steven Universe: Art and Origins

  • July 20, 2017

On July 11 the art book finally came out: 240 pages of concept art, storyboards, and discussions about the creation of the show, all bound inside a beautiful hard cover. It even includes images from Ms. Sugar’s early work, including many stills from her student film Singles.

Early concept sketches for the Gems? This book has those. Early sketches of the Beach City citizens? It has those too. Backgrounds from the show? Those are in, and they’re lovely.

If you’re still on the fence about this one, we can say reservation: get this book. It’s gorgeous, and it’s great to see so much from the show’s creation.

Soundtrack to see vinyl release

  • July 18, 2017

The pre-San Diego Comic Con article by Newsweek has a lot of interesting tidbits in it (Bismuth and Jasper forever!), but there’s one big takeaway: the soundtrack is coming to vinyl!

3,000 vinyl singles with Stronger Than You and Love Like You will be available to SDCC attenders and online, but the entire soundtrack will also be available on vinyl “later this year”.

Ms. Sugar says that the vinyl release is intended for older fans, for collectors.

In the article she also teases more big lyrical songs coming up in the series, as well as reiterating her dream to release the non-lyrical musical score of the show at some point as well.

GC13, Sophia, and David discuss the Looney Tunes homage episode with a Yogi Bear reference in it: Kindergarten Kid.

Peridot comes up with several flawlessed Peri-Plans. Which one was your favorite? Surely all that is needed to succeed is a reduction in variables (or perhaps in increase in pupil sizes?).

It’s possible (probable even) that we’ll never learn much detail about how bubbles work, but it was quite remarkable for Peridot to learn to bubble (a less emotional version of when Steven learned to bubble back in Monster Buddies), but at least we know Peridot has started a bubble collection back at the barn.
