PodcastTitleStevenBomb3 GC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss the fourth episode of #StevenBomb3 and your much-needed Dose of Dewey: Historical Friction.

The merits of both versions of the scripts are discussed, as are the implications for the history of Steven’s Earth that a few details in the episode give. How inhabited were the Americas before settlers from the east arrived? Were settlements really started so much later in Steven’s timeline than ours?

Jamie’s costumes are masterful, but there isn’t yet a conclusive answer on the identity of the mystery fusion who saved William Dewey.

Also, as of this episode, there is a new headcanon for Suitcase Sam: he used to portray Little Butler in the hit sitcom until he hit a growth spurt and they had to cancel the show.

First of all, it’s great to see another Mayor Dewey episode. He’s the Internet’s mayor, after all, so he’s always a welcome presence. The script he turned in was pure gold (though perhaps not for the reasons he thought it would be).

The final script also told us some, and considering its source we can take it as broadly accurate. There are some tantalizing tidbits of lore that this episode hinted at: how long Beach City has been founded, and the uneven distribution of monsters across the world (basically to combine with what Rising Tides, Crashing Skies had to say).

PodcastTitleStevenBomb3 Ken, GC13, and Dakota discuss Onion Friend, the third episode of #StevenBomb3 and probably the most mundane, all about the characters, episode of Steven Universe yet (because no mayors get shirted).

Everyone is happy to see Vidalia back, and to see Amethyst get a chance to talk out some of the issues she’s been having lately. Then there’s Onion, who has some very… Unorthodox taste in videos.

Sour Cream? He’s caught up in the DJ Zone, but provides the perfect ominous light flicker for Onion (who failed to devour Steven’s soul—this time!)

Plus, at the very end, there’s half of a conversation about asking not to have onions on your burger.

This is very much a character episode. Vidalia is finally introduced in the present day, and we learn a lot about her. It would be hard to say that it’s even possible to learn anything about Onion, but we get more data to try to figure him out, at least. Plus: G.A.L.S! We learn about a lot of G.A.L.S!

PodcastTitleStevenBomb3 GC13, Ken, Dakota, and Hunter discuss the second episode of #StevenBomb3: Keystone Motel.

We get to talk a lot about Garnet’s fury and patience, and learn about mer-men (they can’t resist good deals).

Greg is definitely living the high life: he’s wearing shirts with sleeves and he’s sleeping in motels now, and can afford to buy car wash brushes from non-axe murderers on the Internet.

On a more serious note, Steven Universe may very well be the best cartoon on the air right now for dealing with relationships. We definitely appreciate that.

Now: give us Opal!
