Song of the week: Peridot

Our little show stealer has done it again: she’s swooped in at the end of another episode and given a great performance. Well of course her theme, simply named Peridot, is this week’s song of the week, as #StevenBomb begins and Peridot’s influence is felt further as we wait to see what happens after she reports …

A relative size chart of the Crystal Gems

Well this was fun to make. The characters don’t seem to be completely consistent in how they’re drawn, but they’re consistent enough to get a pretty good idea for their relative heights.

Trying to go from relative height to absolute height is more difficult: Steven seems to be about as tall as a doorknob …

What could Marble Madness mean?

We’ve gone over what questions Marble Madness answered for us, so now it’s time to see what new questions it’s left for us to ask.

Here’s to hoping that Full Disclosure lives up to its name: we’re so excited that we’re climbing the canyon walls!

What we learned from Marble Madness

We learned so much from Marble Madness—that’s what this post is for. Of course as always when we get questions answered new ones rise to take their place—that’s what tomorrow will be for.

Marble Madness is just about as important as Warp Tour for our understanding of the backstory of Steven Universe: just as you’d expect when …

Previews for #StevenBomb

Episode previews are back with a vengeance! CNPreview brings us a preview for each season-one episode that will be airing every day during #StevenBomb next week (at 5 PM EDT, not 6:30!).

Full Disclosure is still a mysterious mystery (of strange mystery). It’s a bit ironic, considering the name, but why worry about that when …

Jail Break is going to be huge

A blue Gem approximately Steven's height with shoulder pads, long hair, and a floor-length dress.

That’s not a spoiler, right? It’s the season finale of Steven Universe: it has to be huge! But some information has been circling around which is incredibly spoilerific! We mean it: if you don’t want to be spoiled on the season finale, you shouldn’t read this post. The good stuff is hidden below, and you’re …

Immediate reaction to Marble Madness

Alright, so we got a heavy, if brief, infodump in this episode. We finally have an approximate date for the Crystal Gem rebellion, which is fantastic. We also got a bit clued in to what happened to the Kindergarten, which itself has important implications for the backstory.

Also, the island from Island Adventure has a name now. Isn’t …
