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 dream).

Kevin Party finishes the saga of the aftermath, and anyone who likes Kevin was surely happy to have more Kevin Time.

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 be until we see Lapis again is anyone’s guess, but you can be sure we’ll see here again some time.

Merry Christmas everyone!

GC13 and Sophia discuss the two episodes that have most recently reached television: the misleadingly named (or completely accurately named if you get the historical reference) Dewey Wins and the normally named Gemcation.

How do you feel about Steven’s inability to tell that he’s upsetting Connie? How do you feel about his martyr complex? How tough should Gems be compared to humans?

And the big question: was Pearl really being prevented from speaking in Gemcation, or was she just having a hard time bringing herself to speak?

GC13 and David discuss Ms. Sugar’s second episode of Adventure Time, Power Animal.

Not only was Ms. Sugar pivotal for adding tears to the episode – Finn isn’t supposed to cry, but she managed to get tears of joy into the episode – but she is even responsible for the personal anecdote that led to the gnome king devouring the bean dip at the party.

Plus: Chip Dip Triple Flips Are Hip.

GC13 wonders about the mystery of Lion, and the lions described by Buddy Buddwick in his journal.

We don’t even know whether Rose’s secret pride of lions was normal or if they were pink and Buddy somehow managed to not relate this fact (though it would make sense that they were normal and Rose chose Lion from this or a later batch).

What questions do you have about Lion? What answers do you have? We may be getting some answers on the show soon, but until then we’ll have to wonder together, so we’d better get down to it.

GC13 and David discuss the first four issues of the new comic series, which for some reason have been dubbed “Warp Tour” when compiled together.

It’s a great start to the comic series, with great humor, characters we don’t often get to see, and an art style far more faithful to the show. It’s also chock full with background goodies, like any good comic series.

If you’re not following the series we heartily recommend it, whether you read it in print or digitally. And apparently issues #5-8 not be called “Marble Madness” when collected together. Oh well.

GC13 discusses the announcement of the season-one DVD set for the USA, due out on January 30, 2018.

At $25 and with the special features you’d expect (commentaries especially), it looks like it will be a great boxed set to buy. It’s even only a couple years late!

Still, one thing needs to be said: what is up with the episodes in the set? The first two episodes of season two, Full Disclosure and Joy Ride are included in this set while two season-one episodes, Shirt Club and Story for Steven are being left off. Why this is we just don’t know.

All in all though? It’s great to finally have a boxed set coming out.

GC13, Isabelle, Sophia, and David talk about the latest batch of episodes.

It’s a nice little story arc, if one that has plenty of sad moments in it. It even has valuable life lessons for kids, even if the lessons do come out to the fore of the episodes sometimes rather than running deeper.

Still, with so much changing in Beach City in just six episodes, it makes you wonder where the show will go from here.

Also, they’re six episodes at once, but they didn’t air on TV. Does that make this a Steven Torpedo?

GC13, Isabelle, Sophia, and David discuss the preview for the episodes Cartoon Network will be putting up on its app on November 10.

It’s a minute of preview but there’s plenty to talk about, whether it’s worrying about the challenge to Dewey’s possession of the mayorship (the scent of “Dewey Defeats Truman” wafts in the air), gushing over Sadie’s musical debut, or simply wondering what Lapis and Peridot’s deal is.

We won’t have to wait long to find out. The episodes release on November 10!

GC13 and David look back at Ms. Sugar’s first episode of Adventure Time, It Came From the Nightosphere.

Nominated for an Emmy in 2011, It Came From the Nightosphere is certainly a great first outing for Ms. Sugar, and more good work from her partner on the episode Mr. Muto. Plus of course Ms. Sugar’s first episode would have a song in it.

Every so often we’ll look back at another one of Ms. Sugar’s Adventure Time episodes. The next time we do we’ll be looking at Power Animal, so look forward to that! Next week though? We’ll actually have to see about that… It turns out we live in very exciting times.
