This was definitely an episode about the characters. As expected we got to see a lot of Ronaldo, but Lars got his share of the spotlight too. Plus, Sadie was right there with the rest of them revealing a bit more about her character as well.
The lore haul might not be too big this week, but… Well, let’s just say we’re not completely empty-handed. 🙂
This episode really can go anywhere. Everything seems fairly quiet about it so far, but that’s good: after On the Run it would probably be a good idea for us to settle down, take a breather, and get to know some of our side characters a bit more. We’re always happy to see more Ronaldo.
The big question is how the magical twist comes into the episode. Will this be an episode like Lars and the Cool Kids that’s mostly about the mundane, only switching to the magical at the end, or will magic seep into the episode closer to the midway point? Probably later rather than sooner, but it will be really interesting to see Ronaldo interacting with people other than Steven and Peedee.
On the Run was a very significant episode with an unassuming synopsis. We don’t expect the crew to pull the same trick twice so quickly succession, but maybe that’s the trick? It looks like we’ll have to watch at 6:30 PM EST on February 19 to find out.

In the first episode of our podcast, Takuza, MexicanGameboy, and GC13 discuss On the Run and what could be coming at the end of season one. Is the Kindergarten the full extent of the homeworld’s plans for Earth, or was there more to it? What was Lapis Lazuli doing on Earth? How did the corruption occur?
Finally, and most importantly, there is an urgent call for fan art: please make your best picture of Pearl wielding an axe and getting a little too into the spirit of being a viking warrior and link to it in the comments section. We need it.
The jungle duo is at it again in On the Run. Leaving civilization behind they return home, and Purple Puma has a dramatic showdown with his arch-rival: the Beaked Wonder. Purple Puma and Tiger Millionaire is this week’s song of the week.

There was a lot yesterday that we wanted to talk about but had to wait on. Today is the day to run wild, however: it’s speculation day! Like any good lore episode, On the Run asked as least as many questions as it answered. It’s time to go in and wonder about some of those questions.
We made this warning with Warp Tour and now we’re making it with On the Run: you definitely want to see this one for yourself before we pick it apart for all of the lore goodies inside.
Today is the day where we discuss its (significant) lore impact. Tomorrow we’ll speculate about what could be waiting for us next. Remember: answer one question and two more will rise to take its place.
This one got some huge lore and characterization for us. This is definitely another Big Deal episode, and while we’ve been getting and will continue to get a lot of those, we think this one deserves special note for finally answering at least one huge question that had been hanging over the entire series.
Plus we get a brand new location. The locations page hasn’t been carefully maintained lately, but it’s definitely getting an update after On the Run.
