PodcastTitleSophia, Ken, and GC13 (and Hunter!) discuss the new episode and pop music factory: Sadie’s Song. How many times have you listened to Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)?

This makes two episodes in a row where a character’s mother has featured prominently, so maybe we’ve finally fixed Beach City’s dearth of mothers. We also finally got a Sadie episode without Lars as an important character!

Of course the episode had to have a surprise twist to resolve the tension built up throughout the episode, so we got Steven singing while wearing Sadie’s outfit; Lars, not content to be anonymous, decided to be the only person at the concert not to pay attention. The Internet paid more than enough attention to make up for him though.

What could Ronaldo’s lecture mean?

  • September 20, 2015

Sadie’s Song is probably the episode with the distinction of having the least lore so far. Certainly no new facts we could really chew on. Ronaldo’s “act” for Beachapalooza, a lecture about “rock people”, how to identify them and defend yourself against them.

It’s not much, but we can wonder how much Ronaldo really knows.

Aivi and Surasshu post: Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)

  • September 19, 2015

Ah, the fandom asked and they delivered (though surely they knew this request would come): Aivi and Surasshu have posted Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star) (1:07) from Sadie’s Song. You might recognize the singer as Olivia Olson, the voice of Marceline from Adventure Time.

Ratings for Sadie’s Song

Here’s how the network premiers did:

  1. Steven Universe at 5:30 PM with 1,495,000

Immediate reaction to Sadie’s Song

  • September 17, 2015

Well, it finally happened.

No, not a fusion. Once you’ve seen the episode, you’ll definitely know which “it” finally happened.

Also, bonus points for Sadie finally getting an episode where she doesn’t have to share the stage with Lars (though, unfortunately, she’s now sharing the stage with her mother).

We were denied what would certainly have been a fascinating lecture from Ronaldo, leaving this as a very character-centered episode. It will be quite the challenge to dig lore out of Sadie’s Song.

What to expect from Sadie’s Song

  • September 16, 2015

The easy thing to expect, given its preview, is that Sadie’s Song will be about Steven helping boost Sadie’s confidence to perform at Beachapalooza. She certainly displayed some element of stage fright when she realized Steven was watching her sing, at least.

Even if that route is taken, though, where they go with it from there is anyone’s guess. Will this be another episode that touches on Sadie’s relationship with Lars? It would be great to get a Sadie episode that didn’t involve Lars, but will we?

Maybe, just maybe, Steven could fuse with Sadie. This is a long shot, since Stevonnie is a symbol of Steven’s excellent relationship with Connie, so they’d probably only go down that road if they wanted to take Steven’s friends-with-everyone trait to the next level. A fusion is, however, proven to be the best possible ending to a performance, so keep that in mind. 😉

We doubt Sadie will have to defend her title as deadliest pure-blooded human in Beach City by taking down another Gem monster, but if she had to (got to?) we wouldn’t complain.

New episode: Catch and Release will air on September 24, 2015

  • September 15, 2015

This is going to be an interesting one. Ms. Zuke has said it’s one of her favorite episodes (at the time she thought it would air on the 17th), and while we aren’t sure it will have anything to do with Peridot we are 100% sure that any time an episode has such an innocuous description it means something interesting is going to happen. Except in this case the description is also really strange…

Watch it on Thursday, September 24 at 5:30 PM EDT and solve the mystery.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 47: Nightmare Hospital

PodcastTitleGC13, Ken, and Sophia discuss the episode that ended the post-#StevenBomb3 break: Nightmare Hospital. Ms. Molisee and Mr. Villeco definitely flexed their spooky-writing muscles when making this episode!

We can’t be sure that the cause for Earth’s impending expiration was revealed with this episode, but the fusion clusters certainly seem like they could do the job in sufficient numbers. Of course Connie and Steven definitely showed that their training was paying off, with Connie’s sword skills really shining.

Dr. Maheswaran was perplexing in this episode: on one hand her actions towards her “patients” obviously made sense in her world (everyone else at her hospital acted the same), but it’s still baffling to see for a viewer who sees how obviously strange the fusion clusters are.
