In thPodcastTitlee fifth episode of the podcast, GC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss Marble Madness and the impending #StevenBomb.

Peridot: cute bureaucrat or cutest bureaucrat? Will Pearl gain the secondary title of crab mom, or is she simply being dramatic? Why is the homeworld returning now? Is there a point in dancing around a (spoiler warning) new character’s name if you’re just going to say it later?

Be sure to tune in tomorrow: we’ll be recording and releasing podcasts daily for the duration of #StevenBomb, and we’ll be back at the regular time next week as well for an episode discussing the event as a whole.

Aivi and Surasshu post: Defective

Song of the week: Peridot

  • March 9, 2015

Our little show stealer has done it again: she’s swooped in at the end of another episode and given a great performance. Well of course her theme, simply named Peridot, is this week’s song of the week, as #StevenBomb begins and Peridot’s influence is felt further as we wait to see what happens after she reports the Crystal Gems.

A relative size chart of the Crystal Gems

  • March 8, 2015

Well this was fun to make. The characters don’t seem to be completely consistent in how they’re drawn, but they’re consistent enough to get a pretty good idea for their relative heights.

Trying to go from relative height to absolute height is more difficult: Steven seems to be about as tall as a doorknob is high, which would put him at three feet tall. This would all be well and good, except Pearl and Greg would have to be 5’1″ tall. We know Greg said he wasn’t that tall, but we don’t think he’s actually that short either. If we assumed Greg to be 5’8″, that would put Steven (and therefore a 10 on this chart) at 3’4″ tall (and mean doorknobs are placed pretty high in Beach City for some reason).

What could Marble Madness mean?

  • March 8, 2015

We’ve gone over what questions Marble Madness answered for us, so now it’s time to see what new questions it’s left for us to ask.

Here’s to hoping that Full Disclosure lives up to its name: we’re so excited that we’re climbing the canyon walls!

What we learned from Marble Madness

  • March 7, 2015

We learned so much from Marble Madness—that’s what this post is for. Of course as always when we get questions answered new ones rise to take their place—that’s what tomorrow will be for.

Marble Madness is just about as important as Warp Tour for our understanding of the backstory of Steven Universe: just as you’d expect when the episode is about the Crystal Gems encountering something else from space, we can’t help but learn a lot.

Previews for #StevenBomb

  • March 7, 2015

stevenbombEpisode previews are back with a vengeance! CNPreview brings us a preview for each season-one episode that will be airing every day during #StevenBomb next week (at 5 PM EDT, not 6:30!).

Full Disclosure is still a mysterious mystery (of strange mystery). It’s a bit ironic, considering the name, but why worry about that when we have five preview videos to watch?

We still have all of the humor we’ve come to expect, but make no mistake: this stuff’s about to get heavy.

Jail Break is going to be huge

  • March 6, 2015

That’s not a spoiler, right? It’s the season finale of Steven Universe: it has to be huge! But some information has been circling around which is incredibly spoilerific! We mean it: if you don’t want to be spoiled on the season finale, you shouldn’t read this post. The good stuff is hidden below, and you’re definitely not going to want to click to read more.
