PodcastTitleGC13, Ken, and Hunter discuss the new episode, Reformed. With Dakota gone, Ken has a chance to take revenge for the Shirt Club podcast. GC13 also can’t say numbers well.

The personality quirks of the Crystal Gems are discussed, as is the temple and the writing process of a Steven Universe episode. (When talking about the writing process, this interview is mentioned.) Gem forms are also mentioned, both their ability to be “overclocked” and their function as a constant reminder of past defeats.

Even though it looks like the summer hiatus has started, we’re going to stay right here with weekly episodes. Make sure to check back on May 11 for a new episode of the podcast!

Song of the week: Reunion

  • May 4, 2015

Aw, with such a loving group hug at the end of Reformed how could we not go with Reunion as the song of the week? It wasn’t just Steven happy to have Amethyst back, it was everyone: Garnet, Pearl, and all of us watching at home.

What could Reformed mean?

  • May 3, 2015

And so, with a hiatus upon us, this is the last speculation post we’ll be writing about a new episode for a while. Yesterday’s lore post showed that we hit a good haul there, so of course there’s stuff left over to speculate over—it’s the Steven Universe way.

What did we learn from Reformed?

  • May 2, 2015

Well Reformed definitely answered some questions, and you don’t get any points for guessing what we learned about. Still, in the interests of keeping most spoilers off of the main page, you’re just going to have to read more if you want to be sure that your guess was correct.

Ratings for Reformed

  • May 1, 2015

This wasn’t a great week for Cartoon Network all around (though props to Adventure Time for a solid performance), but Steven Universe had it particularly tough: Reformed only managed 1,389,000 viewers. Here’s how everyone stacked up:

  1. Teen Titans go at 6:00 with 1,754,000
  2. Adventure Time at 7:30 with 1,685,000
  3. Steven Universe at 5:30 with 1,389,000
  4. Clarence at 5:00 with 1,098,000

Immediate reaction to Reformed

  • April 30, 2015

reformedbannerAlright, first off the big hype: we got to see new parts of the temple! Sure, they’re non-functional, but it’s still more than we saw during season one. Really, the amount of apparently dead space in the temple is quite perplexing. Hmmmmmmm… Need more evidence, need so much more evidence.

Of course that may be the big hype but it’s not the big lore information we’ve got. We now know far more about a Gem’s reformation process than we ever did before, which is kind of a big deal. Of course it wouldn’t be Steven Universe if this wasn’t delivered in such a way as to bring up even more questions, but we’re making progress!

Unfortunately, the bad news: we still have no more information about upcoming episodes, so we have to assume that the summer hiatus has begun. Last year we didn’t get new episodes for three months, which again leaves us waiting until August for new Steven.

Endure. In enduring grow strong.

What to expect from Reformed

  • April 29, 2015

Well, just to get things out of the way: if anything bad happens to Pearl in this episode, we can be certain that it will be brief, perhaps even taken care of by the end of the episode. The commercials have only shown Amethyst, however, and… Well, there’s a chance that the title might be referring to her.

There is no new episode scheduled for next week, so be prepared for this to be the last episode we get before the summer hiatus. We went through this last year, we can survive it again.

PodcastTitleKen, GC13, and Dakota talk about the second Lamar Abrams / Hellen Jo episode to air in a row: Love Letters, and Ken delivers a full-throated defense of the previous episode: Shirt Club.

We get the introduction of Sadie’s mother, some actual characterization for Jamie, and even some more adorable interaction between Steven and Connie. We also get food for thought: is Kansas really a film hub, or did Jamie not feel like he had what it took to try his hand at acting in Hollywood?

The next episode of Steven Universe might very well be a big one: Reformed is coming. Be sure to listen in next week for our thoughts on it!

Song of the week: Death Rag

  • April 27, 2015

We can’t get the idea out of our head: a montage of Jamie’s failed auditions, him dressed up in full Shakespearean garb and deep in the drama zone. With, of course, everyone’s favorite jaunty piano rag providing the background music: Death Rag (now the song of the week as well!).
