GC13 and Sophia recap #StevenBomb4. It was definitely one heck of a way to end a three-month-long hiatus, and dropped some pretty big plot bombs on us. Two Diamonds, a drawing of a third, two Pearls, many Gem silhouettes, some new Gem installations… It was very good as a late present to the fandom.

It’s a lot to take in, but it sure was one heck of a ride.

Where do we go from here? Onto a break, but for how long? #StevenBomb2.0 had us go on break for about a month then right back into #StevenBomb3. We’d really prefer weekly episodes, but if the new episodes are in #StevenBomb5 then we’ll be there.

GC13 and Sophia discuss the final episode of #StevenBomb4: Log Date 7 15 2. We needed an episode like this after all of the lore, good and character-focused. Sure there’s a bit of what looks like foreshadowing, but we’re here for the fun!

It’s tough to pick an MVP between Opal, Camp Pining Hearts, or the great and lovable Peridot. The green Canadian flag was also interesting to see (though somehow managed to pass by without comment).

So Peridot’s actions in Message Received seem a bit more reasonable to any of her doubters after the flashback episode, which lasted at the very least for weeks of time, wherein Peridot learned lessons like a reverse-Little Butler.

And she’s a shipper too. Crew have mercy.

Sophia, GC13, and Ken discuss the fourth episode of #StevenBomb4: Message Received. Definitely quite a big one (in more ways than one!).

Whether you think Peridot’s journey through this episode was strangely charted or not, you have to agree it took us to a very good place (both lore-wise and comically). We talk to such interesting people when Peridot is around.

So we’ve finally seen a Diamond in the flesh (so to speak), and heard her speak with her own voice. I can see the stakes rising from here! Get ready fanbase, this is going to be intense!

Not all of us may survive the rest of the season, but at least this podcast can’t be remotely detonated.

GC13 and Ken discuss the third episode of It Could’ve Been Great and we both agree with Peridot: it really could have been great!

We’re too awestruck by Ronaldo getting two huge points correct to mention it in the podcast: the Great Diamond Authority being named just that, and the plan to (mostly) hollow out the Earth. But really, why should we be surprised that another of the prophet’s predictions has come to pass?

Rose’s potential identity as Pink Diamond is still hanging in there, thanks in part to the portrait of White Diamond and another of Ronaldo’s teachings, but only time will tell who the real Pink Diamond was. The identity of Pink Diamond is certainly a big deal, whoever she is, or we probably would have seen her portrait during the episode.

Tomorrow we’ll be doing a podcast about Message Received. It sounds juicy!
