Oh boy, were we waiting for this. GC13, Sophia, Isabelle, and David deliver a lengthy discussion of the Wanted event, covering Stuck Together, The Trial, Off Colors, and Lars’ Head.

From the surprise reveal of Topaz’s voice to Steven’s triumphant return to Earth, we obviously had plenty to talk about.

Do you like your TV shows happy or sad? Was the death of Lars brutal enough? Do you think he’ll ever drink that juice box?

Don’t forget the real hero of the event though: Zircon. Without her, Steven and Lars wouldn’t have been able to make their escape. Plus, whether she had the right suspects or not, she gave us a lot to think about…

GC13, Isabelle, and David give us a bit of calm before Wanted airs, discussing the track list of the first volume of the soundtrack (and other soundtrack-related stuff).

It has almost everything. The only big absences are the Little Butler theme and the donut training video song, which are at least partially made up for by the inclusion of Still Not Giving Up from the minisodes.

So of course everyone wants to know if/when we’ll get a volume two. It must certainly contain the show’s instrumental tracks, so everyone’s hoping that happens.

Now all we must do is wait for Wanted. It won’t be long now…

GC13, Isabelle, and David have the podcast’s second discussion of the sixth Steven Bomb.

How melodramatic did you think the bomb was? Even if you think it was, you can’t deny that Jamie can bring the real drama just as well as he can bring the melodrama.

Characters (and giant fusions) not being animated, the Crystal Heart, and Aquamarine’s voice actress all come up.

And why hasn’t anyone said Doug’s name yet? He’s in the credits, he’s had an episode named after him, but so far he’s just “Dad” or “Mr. Maheswaran”.

GC13 and Sophia get hyped for the Wanted event, coming up on Monday, May 29 (you won’t want to miss it). Since Stuck Together is part of the Wanted event, and has been posted on the Cartoon Network app to build hype, there will be some spoilers for the episode here.

So the Wanted promo has it all: Diamonds, Homeworld, new Gems, and what can only be described as the perfect demonstration of the word “Sadie” being used as a verb. It’s going to be great. The wait will be difficult, but oh so worth it when it’s over.

Also, thank you to everyone who auditioned for the podcast. We have selected David and Isabelle as our winners.

GC13 and Sophia have a big discussion about the episodes in Steven Bomb 6 (and try to avoid speculating until next week, hard as that can be).

Oh boy, for those of you who have watched on the Cartoon Network app already, it was a big bomb, wasn’t it?

Don’t worry, we’ll be covering it again next week, where we put on our speculation hats and wonder both about the future and about what we’ve seen. This bomb is just too big to cover in a single episode.

Plus, the podcast is searching for new members! If you’re interested, check out our audition information and get to applying!

GC13 and Sophia are here to talk about Steven vs Amethyst. Yes, the episode turned out to be far more innocuous than the title sounded back when we first learned about it, but Amethyst was still being hit with the feels.

This episode is a top contender on some favorite lists, and with moments like the realization of Amethyst’s reformation or the first mention of the Pearl Prize Pouch (!) there’s a lot to love.

Never mind the titular fight between Steven and Amethyst. Steven is one tough boy, but Amethyst is a natural fighter and is no slouch. Even if they were fighting for the title of Worst Crystal Gem, it’s not something either of them really deserve. (Neither of them has ever tried to kill their leader, for instance.) Besides, they’re both great at being bad.

GC13 and Sophia talk about Crack the Whip (which, despite popular demand, was about Amethyst rather than being a crossover with Johnny Test ).

Despite some initial microphone difficulties, it’s an episode worth listening to because Crack the Whip is an episode worth watching. It has Stevonnie riding Lion into battle, for crying out loud. What more could you want? Perhaps the start of a character arc for Amethyst? (Or at least the final phase of her big one.)

Lion is just great by the way. Whether he’s riding in a ferris wheel, helping bother seagulls, or simply dressed for a rave he’s fun to have around (even if it’s rather suspicious that he’d just so happen to be around now…).

Just remember: in the heat of battle, you’re not going to have a swimsuit.

GC13, Sophia, and Hunter discuss an episode that it can be kind of hard to know how to feel about sometimes: Gem Hunt.

It’s an episode where important stuff happens, especially some crucial character building. However for whatever reason it just feels… Strange. It’s hard to place.

What’s easy to see, however, is how precious Pearl is in this episode. She is pearlfection incarnate, and is cute as can be. Which was your favorite Pearl line? It might be hard to pick just one.

That’s not to say that Connie wasn’t adorable as well, nor that Steven didn’t put in a good performance. There’s plenty of cute to go around.

GC13 and Sophia are hungry for babies! It’s time to talk about Greg the Babysitter!

Greg starts his flashback with a marvelous song (which has Rose being about as adorable as is legally allowed on television), and while we don’t learn anything really weighty in the plot it’s great to see what Rose was like in her casual hours (when not waging war to defend the Earth).

Sour Cream was apparently Super Baby back as a child, with not only the best possible face and voice but the ability to crawl up tall objects while offscreen. Can his powers of chill defeat Greg’s laser-sharp focus?

GC13 and Sophia discuss Alone at Sea, the oh-so-heavy episode that starts out oh so light.

So of course the podcast starts out very heavy, discussing the very real-world relationship troubles that Lapis has been going through, and that Jasper brings back. This all happened because the ship was named the Misery—that has to be what did it.

Of course there are lighter things to discuss. GC13 and Sophia both hope that someone will explain the “What crackers go with caviar? Water crackers.” joke, because as it stands there is no satisfying explanation that makes the joke funny.
