GC13, Sophia, and Hunter discuss, in a wonderful coincidence, the closest thing Steven Universe has to a Mother’s Day special: Lion 3: Straight to Video.

It’s an adorable episode, with lots of wonderful cat humor coming from the interaction of Steven and Lion. Plus Pearl sometimes watches Steven sleep—and by sometimes we mean often.

Steven finally learns a bit of what his mother is like, and Sadie appreciates her own mother a bit more. Us? We’re happy to have this early look at Barb’s character, which matches up with her behavior in Sadie’s Song.

What is Lion, anyway? That’s an answer we might just get some day.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 85: Watermelon Steven

GC13 and Sophia discuss the first in a string of good old episodes: Watermelon Steven. (Not everybody likes it just for the assault against Ronaldo.)

Steven is crowned king by a Greg who is surprisingly good at chomping through a watermelon rind, and Steven shows off the impressive watermelon seed spitting genes that his father gave him. Do you think it would be fair for him to enter contests?

Seeing the new fighting techniques of the Crystal Gems was a treat, as was the sight of a three-dollar bill.

Are you ready for new episodes to begin? There’s only one more week of retrospective looks at old episodes before we get new episodes.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 84: Hype for In Too Deep

GC13, Sophia, and Hunter start up the hype train for In Too Deep, four weeks of Steven (and not a bomb in sight). Choo choo!

Be warned: if you have managed to keep away from the Cartoon Network UK leaks (no spoilers in the link), this is an episode all about those spoilers, and what they could mean combined with the (spoiler-laden) commercial that Cartoon Network is running to promote this set of five episodes.

If you’re up to date on all of the spoilers though, then all aboard the hype train! Next stop, May 12th Station!

New episodes to begin on May 12, 2016

April 22, 2016

happymechperidot Well we finally have a date and a time for the end of this break in new episodes: Thursday, May 12, at 7 PM EDT.

Entertainment Weekly has the details: episodes will air weekly for four weeks, and we’ll get the party started with two episodes on May 12. There’s even a video of the commercial with some super-spoilerific teaser tidbits, so if you’ve been keeping yourself clear of the Cartoon Network UK leaks then don’t watch the video or even read too far into the article (which gives a brief overview of the video).

So we’ll definitely be there, and we are so glad that we’re getting weekly episodes instead of a bomb format. The hype has returned, and now it’s down to the last little bit of waiting.
