Lunar Sea Spire episode 66: It Could’ve Been Great

PodcastTitleStevenBomb4GC13 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!

Immediate reaction to It Could’ve Been Great

It was great!

The screenshots, the lore, the hard facts, the stuff! They didn’t have to, but they gave us a very good explanation of the homeworld’s initial plans for Earth.

Thank you, Crewniverse: we know just what to do with this.

Yes, it’s true, Amethyst and Pearl have the moves, and Pearl seems to be dancing in a more Amethyst-compatible style now. Then Garnet puts on a slow dance just for Steven and Connie? She can’t get enough of that fusion.

So baby Steven is cute, and there’s a big step up in the romance between Steven and Connie. Plus: Greg is confirmed for Best Dad.

We’ll continue making new episodes daily during this #StevenBomb, so make sure to check back tomorrow for our episode on It Could’ve Been Great.

Immediate reaction to Steven’s Birthday

The Answer was the episode for answers, and Steven’s Birthday was…

Well, it actually does answer some questions about Steven and his powers. Obviously there are still plenty of questions too, but we came to expect that long ago.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 64: The Answer

PodcastTitleStevenBomb4Sophia, GC13, and Ken start off #StevenBomb4 with a discussion of The Answer.

Well the episode certainly more than lived up to its name: not only did it bring us multiple answers (including the one it specifically references: love, but we already knew that), but it brought us plenty of questions as well.

This episode has everything: war, romance, and cotton candy. And fate. And answers.

Pink Diamond Theory is in an interesting place right now. It doesn’t matter how large you estimate Blue Diamond to be, she’s obviously much larger than Rose.

Immediate reaction to The Answer

Oh boy, the lore, the lore, the lore! The episode title may have only referred to a very specific answer, but we got a lot of answers out of this one—so many answers! The Answer may very well get its own post after the bomb for just how much it told us.

There’s also a very key level of speculation. We now know more than ever about… It!

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 63: the pilot

PodcastTitleGC13, Sophia, and Hunter discuss the pilot episode of Steven Universe. A real blast from the past with some very different character designs, but all of the magic we’ve come to love the show for.

With the hiatus finally ending it’s time to look back to where it all began. We don’t understand time travel (or hydrodynamic spatulas), but we can see what changed and what stayed the same.

(And seriously, have you heard about this Lakewood Plaza Turbo thing?)
