Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 91: In Too Deep

PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter discuss the In Too Deep event, plus ask for more Steven Universe comics or a webcomic and a more consistent airing schedule (pretty please?).

So, the bad news: we never found out what they really are (still, it made for a great commercial). On the plus side, Lapis is integrating well, and Peridot is still great and lovable. Let’s also never forget: Ruby! Ruby! Ruby. Ruby! Ruby. And Ruby!

Plus, Super Watermelon Island was just a great fight. Steven’s not just a great coach, he’s a great inspirational speaker. His father does, after all, live in a van down by the car wash.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 90: Hit the Diamond

PodcastTitleSophia and GC13 discuss the last episode of the In Too Deep event: Hit the Diamond. The fans wanted a baseball game, and we got it!

Rev up those Ruby jokes, but while they may not be the brightest Gems out there they can play baseball pretty well. They’re no match for Earl, Amy, Bob, and Sophie though (and Steven!).

So, which Ruby was your favorite? Each comes with her own distinctive personality (and even two distinct outfits!). Pearls may be the fancy ones, but apparently the homeworld isn’t super strict about who gets to look a little different. Of course why the Rubies have such different personalities is a bit confusing, but hopefully we’ll see them later. Ruby and the Rubies!

What could Hit the Diamond mean?

Take us out to the ballgame, take us out to the questions! (Alright, that’s not how the song goes, but work with us.) Do you ever leave a baseball game wishing you had the answers to some very important questions? Well we had some questions after we saw Hit the Diamond, so come ponder with us.

What we learned from Hit the Diamond

Hit the Diamond was a lot of fun, but sometimes episodes with a lot of fun also use the shenanigans on screen as a path to show us more about the world that Steven inhabits. This was definitely one of those episodes, actually showing us one thing that really challenges how the earlier homeworld was portrayed.

Ratings for Hit the Diamond

Hit the Diamond did well with 1,552,000 viewers this week. Cartoon Network didn’t run as many premiers as normal, but here’s how everything stacked up:

  1. Steven Universe at 7:00 PM with 1,552,000
  2. The Amazing World of Gumball at 5:00 PM with 1,414,000
  3. Clarence at 5:30 PM with 1,383,000
  4. Regular Show at 7:30 PM with 1,251,000

Immediate reaction to Hit the Diamond

In addition to having some seriously adorable moments, and some excellent alternate costumes, this will be remembered an episode that made us reconsider what Gems are like. They can be quite a bit more quirky than we’ve given them credit for.

Sophie though. And Bob. And Earl. It’s magic.
