Looking back at Message Received

And here it is: the master of overshadowing. Yellow Diamond herself, with the added bonus of a Pearl who doesn’t care because she doesn’t have to—she’s with the homeworld.

While in the first viewing it’s not immediately obvious what Peridot’s plan is (though Peridot’s redemption is still pretty likely even if you hadn’t seen the …

GC13 and Hunter discuss another old favorite episode: Secret Team (definitely another episode worthy of a gold star).

A fun episode showing how Amethyst, Steven, and Garnet used to be earlier in the series (less responsible, less mature, …

Question: What repaired the Geode?

The ending of House Guest is quite difficult to interpret: Steven tries to repair the Geode with his healing saliva, and despite his regained confidence he fails. However there is no need to fear, as Greg quickly saves the day with a complex human tool: high-quality duct tape!

It shouldn’t be hard to understand why this …

Looking back at It Could’ve Been Great

How many exciting things can you pack into one episode? A secret Diamond base? A trip to the moon? Pictures of the Diamonds? A look at the initial Gem plans for Earth? An angry Garnet, combined with Peridot intrigue? It Could’ve Been Great was, itself, great!

Just the orb that White Diamond was depicted as holding, …

Answer: Garnet is a fusion

This is a mystery that was finally officially answered quite some time ago (a year ago exactly, allowing for it being a leap year this year) when Jailbreak aired. We met Ruby and Sapphire, then they fused together to form Garnet again. Though it’s obviously not timely, we’ve chosen it as our first Answer because it was …

Looking back at Steven’s Birthday

They sure took their time telling us how old Steven was: thirteen for most of the series, until he turned fourteen in Steven’s Birthday. Perhaps they wanted us to be as surprised as Connie was. The only surprise worth noting, however, is how dapper Steven can be (he and Connie are perfect friends).

This was Steven’s first …

http://media.blubrry.com/stevenuniversepodcast/www.lunarseaspire.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Lunar-Sea-Spire-Ep-77.mp3

Ken and GC13 discuss House Guest, the episode that had the unfortunate duty of following Ocean Gem (let’s face it: not the easiest episode to follow).

Coming after a big episode wasn’t House Guest‘s only problem though: it seems to …
