GC13 and David discuss Ms. Sugar’s fifth Adventure Time episode: Susan Strong.
This was another Adventure Time episode where a humble seed planted early in the series would eventually grow into a mighty story arc. This same penchant for building a world before setting into the story arcs would be carried into Steven Universe.
We apologize for the lack of any Susan Strong in the Real Way jokes in the episode, but it’s such a beautiful night and we should just let ourselves be wherever we are.

GC13 discusses why, even as the theory was shunned by the majority of vocal users, he was convinced that Rose was Pink Diamond well before A Single Pale Rose aired.
There were hints scattered through the series, even in Sworn to the Sword which was the first indication that there was Pink Diamond (though people had been calling for it even before then).
There were also some really intense bits that would only make sense in retrospect, but this is all about the evidence (even things that seemed to be evidence but turned out not to be).
Also, while GC13 assures everyone that the episode length was an accident, he also assures everyone that it’s oh so fitting and he wishes it was intentional.

According to @nickandmore, we will have a new venue to see re-runs of Steven Universe. Weekends on Boomerang starting next week will include an hour of Steven Universe from 9 PM to 10 PM eastern time.
So to anyone who was considering getting Boomerang or who already has Boomerang: two hours a week of Steven Universe is now on the channel’s schedule.
Be honest, it was foreshadowed pretty heavily.
We never put forth the question of whether Rose could be Pink Diamond because even very early on we considered it highly likely that she was, though back then Chille Tid was the most recent episode and all we had to go on was the significance of Rose to the series backstory and a nagging sense that Steven was being treated like the son of royalty. As time went on and evidence mounted we just became more sure that we had been right to pick up those hints.
Consider just how many different magical powers Rose Quartz had versus what Jasper (the ultimate quartz, remember) had (that is to say: a variety of powers for Rose, while Jasper was just really strong).
This isn’t an exhaustive look at the foreshadowing in the series, but the revelation really does make a lot of things look very different; even Cookie Cat with its two ice cream flavors, pink-colored strawberry and more flesh-colored vanilla, makes one wonder just how much was meant to be hinting at the possibility.
A very common counter-theory to the idea that Rose was Pink Diamond was that the coming twist (for it couldn’t really be so simple that Rose rebelled and shattered Pink Diamond as everyone thought) was that Pearl had in fact shattered Pink Diamond and Rose took the blame; people even surmised that Pearl no longer shapeshifted because of how she felt after taking Rose’s form to shatter Pink Diamond—apparently correctly, by the way.
It was also interesting to see that Pink shapeshifted into Rose Quartz (presumably until Pearl poofed her, after which she could take her Rose Quartz form permanently) rather than having to body swap to do it. Certainly nobody expected to learn, this late in the series, that it is somehow possible for a Gem to reorient her gem when she shapeshifts, but if anyone could do it a Diamond surely could (remember all of the other non-quartzlike powers Rose had).
So there it is: the answer to one of the biggest questions the series has posed. How is everyone doing going back and re-examining the series for more vague possible hints? Cookie Cat will probably be tough to top.
The episodes available on the website and app without logging in with a cable provider have been changed. Now here’s what you have to watch freely:
After a week Catch and Release and Back to the Barn were removed and Can’t Go Back and A Single Pale Rose unlocked in their place.
A week later Letters to Lars was removed so House Guest could be added.

GC13 and Isabelle discuss the spoilers from the original version of the promo video for episode one of the Drawn Podcast.
In case you are unfamiliar with the spoilers, we discuss their existence (without saying what they are!) in Advanced Spoilers and You, and you can find a clip of just the important spoilers on Reddit here.
So this is your last call. If you want to remain unspoiled, then stay in your bunker until the end of the season. If you know what awaits us, however, then join us.
