PodcastTitleGC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss another of our season-one refugees: Story for Steven.

Oddly enough for an episode without any fusing, fusion Gems are discussed quite a bit. Sour Cream (and the now likely identity of his father) is also discussed, as is his (probably half-) brother, the dark lord Onion. Gem outfits and episode synopses also get a fair amount of talk time.

Next week we’ll be discussing the last episode originally produced with season one, Shirt Club. Don’t miss it!

Song of the week: Quadrinometry

  • April 13, 2015

Yeah, that’s technically not its full title, but that’s not the important part: the important part is that it was one of Rose’s favorites. Their courtship started with music, so this week Quadrinometry (The Secret of the Wave Lies in Creation) is the song of the week.

What could Story for Steven mean?

  • April 12, 2015

Like the best episodes, Story for Steven showed us some stuff, and while this filled in some gaps in our knowledge it revealed more gaps that we didn’t even know were there. It’s the kind of backstory reveal that we love, because it let’s us start wondering.

What we learned from Story for Steven

  • April 11, 2015

It’s been a brief dry spell for lore episodes, but Story for Steven has turned that around. What did we learn from it? Other than Greg Good, Marty Bad? Still a good amount. (Flashback episodes do have that power!) Just sit back and see what we’ve learned.

Preview for Shirt Club

  • April 10, 2015

Oh yeah, give us five! It’s Shirt Club time. Who’s ready to spend some time with Buck Dewey? Garnet’s long-lost son (who, despite being lost for a really long time, was living in the same town the entire time). Is it t-shirt time where you are?

Immediate reaction to Story for Steven

  • April 9, 2015

mruniverse2Alright, we give up. If this isn’t the episode with Rose’s song in it then we just don’t know how we’re ever going to predict it. They had such a perfect opportunity for a duet but they didn’t take it. Oh well. On the bright side, this means that they were recording for season two back in October. (Well, either that or she somehow sings in Shirt Club, but… Well, we’re not sure even Ronaldo would predict that one.)

It was great to see the temple with a fence around it, and without Steven’s room built up around it (we got a peek at it in Lion 3: Straight to Video but we got to get really close in Story for Steven). Also, the outfits.

There was a lot of subtle stuff about how the Crystal Gems interacted with humans (or, more accurately, how they didn’t) that was gold, and Amethyst’s much younger apparent age will no doubt provide fuel for speculation.
