Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 127: Storm in the Room

GC13 and Sophia discuss the latest emotional hammer blow from Steven Universe: Storm in the Room. Some things are just too heavy to deal with right after you’ve got back from the spa.

Continuing pretty much right on from The New Crystal Gems, we transition from light to heavy. Connie is really worried about her mother, but at least she has one—Steven’s situation is far more complicated, and the comparison is certainly intended.

If anyone with a good sports commentator voice wants to do any commentary over Rose’s football skills, by the way, you can very much be our guest.

Immediate reaction to Storm in the Room

Ah, the dreaded character episode strikes again. (Then again, Out of This World had some serious lore bombs in it that we’re still planning on getting back to.)

Still, as far as character episodes go, what a thing to be coming to grips with.

Ratings for The New Crystal Gems

The move to Friday apparently hasn’t done any favors for Cartoon Network’s ratings, and the lack of advertisement specifically hasn’t helped Steven Universe any either. The New Crystal Gems was seen by 1,063,000 viewers. Here’s how Cartoon Network’s evening premiers stacked up:

  1. Teen Titans Go! at 6:00 PM with 1,174,000
  2. Steven Universe at 7:00 PM with 1,063,000
  3. Clarence at 6:30 PM with 945,000

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 126: The New Crystal Gems

GC13 and Sophia discuss the first of this string of weekly episodes: The New Crystal Gems.

This one was a treat. Connie wearing Steven’s shirt? Yes. Peridot wearing sunglasses? Definitely. Lapis doing her best Garnet impression? All of our want (even if her Peridot impression is lousy).

So no, there was no time skip from using the gravity engine on the roaming eye, but there was still enough time to cause some damage in the city. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for the car wash’s new sign, for sure!

Also, bonus points for having Pumpkin in the episode, being the cutest pet anyone could ask for.

Steven Universe air times for February 13-19, 2017

All times are (or, more accurately, the time is) EST.

Friday:
7:00 PM: Storm in the Room

 

New episode: Storm in the Room to air on Friday, February 17, 2017

The Friday premiers continue with Storm in the Room airing at 7:00 PM EST on Friday, February 17. This one sounds extra juicy.

Storm in the Room
Steven goes into his room in the temple to look for answers.

Immediate reaction to The New Crystal Gems

The New Crystal Gems will be most interesting from a lore point of view in how it relates to the Out of This World event, but on its own it’s great to see Peridot and Lapis interacting with someone new. (It’s also great to see Lapis getting heavily into character—she’s so method.)

Preview for The New Crystal Gems

They got it to us late, but they still got it to us: here’s the official preview for The New Crystal Gems.
