Lunar Sea Spire

GC13, Isabelle, Sophia, and David discuss the full-screen debut of Aquamarine and Topaz: Are You My Dad?.

Peridot mentioned that her height was indicative of her rarity and importance, but we’re still no closer to understanding what height actually means for a Gem. (Aquamarine sure doesn’t have much of it.)

Are there more Gems like Steven? …

GC13 and David discuss the ube debut: The Good Lars.

This was Lars’s last chance to be a good Lars, before he became Captain Lars (or, if you prefer, Lars the Baker—kicker of butts and taker of names). He opened up about his feelings, and Steven and Sadie tried their best to make him happy, but …

GC13 and David discuss the episode Doug Out, where the bomb portion of its Steven Bomb actually began.

It was our first in-depth look at Mr. Maheswaran, and he turned out to have the same lovably goofy side he had briefly showed in other episodes—he didn’t even need the clown nose.

Despite flashlights apparently not working …

GC13 and David go back to the retrospective episode discussions to talk about the beginning of another bomb: Lion 4: Alternate Ending.

Anagrams are fun, and Steven may not have been on the right path; did Rose eat Steven’s fry bits?

Plus, like some sort of Sphinx, Lion is mysterious—terribly mysterious. We’re still unsure of exactly …

GC13 and Sophia discuss the pilot for Matt Burnett and Ben Levin’s new series: Craig of the Creek.

It’s a setup that will be familiar to fans of Ed, Edd, and Eddy: a neighborhood of kids out playing. Except this time with an imagined fantasy settling and a lot of self-narration.

The show will be …

GC13 and David discuss Steven Universe’s second graphic novel: Anti-Gravity.

In this second graphic novel apparently the comic team felt like introducing some interesting tidbits about Gems. Of course they also heavily featured Ronaldo, which may make some people happy and others less so.

There are other Gem satellites out there, somewhere. Could the show …

GC13 and David discuss Ms. Sugar’s third episode of Adventure Time, The Chamber of Frozen Blades (and also completely fail to recall the title of Revolutionary Girl Utena).

Ms. Sugar really brought the anime side of ninjas to this episode, and to great effect. Alas, Finn and Jake are fickle creatures and never use their ice …

GC13, Isabelle, and Sophia discuss the lore bomb also known as the Stranded event, containing Lars of the Stars and Jungle Moon.

Seeing Lars and his off-color crew was quite fun, even if the episode raises certain questions about how far Lars really has come (and how good he is at estimating relative ship speeds).

It was Jungle …

GC13 discusses Sadie Killer and Kevin Party, finishing off the batch of app-released episodes before Stranded airs on Friday.

Do or Donut: GC13 could use a donut apparently, just like the Big Donut’s sign could use some updating. Sadie could also use some backup, but at least she finds a creative outlet (and it wasn’t even a …

GC13 discusses the latest episodes to make their way from the app to the television: Raising the Barn and Back to the Kindergarten.

These are two of the sadder episodes in one of the sadder packs of episodes, but at least they end with a bright spot (those sunflowers would warm anyone’s heart). How long it will …
