Well, they certainly started #StevenBomb off with a bang. We won’t be doing full writeups for each episode until after the week is done, but we’ll still be doing these short immediate reactions.
Rose’s Scabbard gave us some excellent history lessons (the kind of stuff we just eat up) and a very good look into Pearl’s …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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!
Ah, Steven trying to get Connie home before the snow gets too bad. It’s a simple episode, isn’t it? Nothing lore-worthy could possibly happen in that, right? You would be reasonable to think that, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’d be wrong.
Steven Universe has made a habit of trying to get us …
What is it about the innocuous-sounding episodes that tends to drop such bombshells?
We have some rethinking to do, and… Well… We’re going to have to prepare to edit the Locations page again in the future, it seems. 😀
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 …
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… …
We made this warning with Warp Tour and now we’re making it with On the Run: you definitely want to see this one for yourself before we pick it apart for all of the lore goodies inside.
Today is the day where we discuss its (significant) lore impact. Tomorrow we’ll speculate about what could be waiting for …
