Now
that we’re on another hiatus, we go back to the beginning and break down the
series episode by episode!
- We
watch the promo for the new episode, “Barnmates”
- LAPIS IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!
- When did she get back??? And how???
- Where’s Jasper???
- Why is Peridot giving Lapis a present???
- Gem Glow
- For as much as the show has improved, these early episodes are still solid
- Look how far the look of the show has come!
- The show’s consistency proves the writers always had a gameplan
- This is a show that captures really genuine feeling relationships
- We discuss the music of the show, and how the lyrics of songs can be read into
- We briefly touch on the sex-positive and themes of consent in the show
- Cookie Caaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!
- Is a gem bound to a specific weapon, or could Steven have wielded a different weapon from his mom?
- We talk about Steven’s connection to pink and rose imagery, and how the show has been defying stereotypes in very subtle, smart ways
- SU obviously takes a lot of queues from anime, the magical girl genre specifically. We discuss some of the connections that have been made between this show and Madoka Magica
- Laser Light Cannon
- What EXACTLY is the Red Eye???
- We meet Greg and see his involvement – or lack thereof – with the Crystal Gems
- We take a tour of the Dad Museum; what’s in there, and how Greg could have acquired so much
- On the subject of Steven and his dad: we now know that Steven is 14, and he shows no sign of teenage rebellion
