What to expect from Fusion Cuisine

A while ago we were promised mothers in Beach City. Expect Fusion Cuisine to follow through on that promise and show us what Connie’s mother looks like.

This episode should be about all three of the Crystal Gems fusing together to pretend to be Steven’s mother. Presumably Garnet’s rather interesting method of conversation is one of the catalysts for the fusion: each Crystal Gem has her flaws, so Steven hopes that by combining them together he’ll get all of their best traits in one Gem.

Expect that not to go so well, if the original name for this episode was in fact Fusion Crime. If there are severe personality problems then it’s probably too early for Steven to use his fusion powers to fuse with the resulting Gem and stabilize it, but anything is possible.

We’ll be watching to see how a multi-fusion works: will all three of them fuse at the same time, or will two fuse first then the third will fuse with the resulting fusion Gem?

Song of the week: Glitch City

There have been a lot of weird things happening in Beach City since… Well, forever, really. Steven knows a thing or two about how things get when it gets really weird, so this week’s song of the week is Glitch City.

Could Ronaldo be on the right track?

Ronaldo is a side character no more: as of Keep Beach City Weird! he’s bucking for a job as a prophet. Only time will tell if he’s qualified, but we’ve already taken a look at his predictions. Now it’s time to buckle down and wonder what the fact that Ronaldo made his predictions might mean for the history and future of the show.

What we learned from Keep Beach City Weird!

We’ve always felt like we were cut from the same cloth as Ronaldo. Keep Beach City Weird! was a particularly close look at the difficulties involved in our work: tomorrow’s speculation post will be meatier, but let’s take a look at the facts we’ll be working with.

Preview for Fusion Cuisine

We wish Garnet was our mother. CoinOpTV has the preview for Fusion Cuisine up. Check it out:

 

Immediate reaction to Keep Beach City Weird!

We definitely feel a deep, deep kinship with Ronaldo. Maybe we should open up a fry shop.

This episode… Oh, this episode. Ronaldo may be barking up the wrong tree, but we feel like we are on the cusp of a big breakthrough!

As is appropriate for a conspiracy episode, Keep Beach City Weird! has provided an extraordinary amount of material for speculation. The backstory of Gems on Earth, especially, might end up having to be revised if future episodes follow up on what we’ve seen today.

What to expect from Keep Beach City Weird!

This is going to be an interesting one (as you’d know if you had watched the preview). It looks like most of this episode is going to be in a flashback or story narration, like An Indirect Kiss.

So we should finally get to see more Ronaldo. That’s great! Since he’s the crackpot of the series, constantly trying to make sense of the weird things that the Crystal Gems inevitably cause to happen (or at least involve themselves in after the fact), we identify most with him. Ronaldo never fails to amuse, and his blog is always fun to check after an episode has aired. He also has buttons!

According to one of the commercials we should finally get to see Garnet shapeshift her entire body in this episode. While the ability of all Gems to shapeshift was established in Cat Fingers at the same time the power was being introduced, there has been speculation that only Amethyst has the power to manipulate her entire body; it’s good that another Gem has finally decided to use the power.

Other than that, sit back and enjoy Episode #31, the Halloween episode!
