Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 53: Steven the Sword Fighter

PodcastTitleGC13, Ken, and Sophia deal with the hiatus blues by talking about the sixteenth episode of the series: Steven the Sword Fighter.

It was the episode that introduced the concept of Gems regenerating to us, and since we’ve seen Reformed (forty-one episodes later) we definitely know that we got the wrong idea about how long reformation should normally take a Gem. Talking about it more, there’s really a whole lot we still don’t know.

Heck, we don’t even know whether Lonely Blade is a live action series or if it’s animated.

Plus, Asks are now open on our Tumblr page, so you have another way to get into contact with us!

New short: Hot Dog Duffel Bag Unboxing

Steven brings us his unboxing and review of Wacky Sack’s latest novelty bag: the hot dog duffel bag! Odd numbers of pockets may not feel cleaner, but they still score well. 🙂

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 52: Too Far

PodcastTitleKen, GC13, and Hunter see Steven Universe into the year-end break with a discussion of the latest episode: Too Far.

It’s quite interesting to learn more about the homeworld, but it’s also great to learn that once again the fans were right: Amethyst’s body was meant to look a lot like Jasper’s, but she looks the way she does because she’s an overcooked runt. Play your preferred celebratory sound effect now.

Steven, Pearl, and now Amethyst have got their field trip with Peridot, so when will it be Garnet’s turn? Sure, Steven’s the only one who seems to have enjoyed his field trip, but character development is important!

Also note that while we mention that Steven is airing re-runs at 7:30 PM, it was moved to 4:30 PM. It will take a while before guide sites know, so just watch out!

What could Too Far mean?

Do you ever wonder if all of the stuff we’re learning about the Gem homeworld is building up to anything? There’s a lot of season two remaining, after all, but we’ve already learned so much about the homeworld.

It’s just a thought—something to consider. Let’s wonder a bit about some stuff from Too Far, shall we?

What we learned from Too Far

Too Far was a good episode to leave us hanging with. It really finished what Back to the Barn started as far as lore is concerned, but still left us with plenty more to learn.

Ratings for Too Far

Well, the ratings were down again: 1,392,000 viewers watched Too Far. The time slot change probably didn’t help, but We Bare Bears had a good showing for Bear Bomb.

Here’s how the Cartoon Network premiers did:

  1. We Bare Bears at 6:30 with 1,589,000
  2. Steven Universe at 7:30 with 1,392,000
  3. Be Cool Scooby Doo at 7:00 with 1,368,000

Immediate reaction to Too Far

Two episodes in a row that tell us a lot about the homeworld’s views. Too Far didn’t spend as much time discussing them as Back to the Barn did, or at least didn’t address them so brutally, but we certainly have plenty to mull over. Plus… Listen. Can you hear it? It… It sounds like a train continuing its journey. 🙂

Aivi and Surasshu post: Robolympics

Aivi and Surasshu have posted another song from Back to the Barn: this time they’ve posted Robolympics (1:23) for us, the track where Pearl and Peridot compete for honor and glory!
