I thought the new episode was tonight, but alas, it's next Friday.

As far as things being "off model" goes, the only one I can remember bugging me while I watched it was Pearl in "Adventures in Light Distortion":



Yeesh.

Judging from Steven, it's clearly an intentional move and whilst it furthermore

Raven Molisee is no longer on the show, she can't hurt you anymore

actually I like Raven's boards and pointy nose pearl. Her nose has been a bit too big and blunt from most boarders nowadays

IMHO Connie's animation is realtime distracting when she's off-model, which is often.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Hopefully Lars of the Stars will touch more on that. Also, that's a great title.

Still placing my bets on a future arc being a diamond vs diamond civil war. Possibly ending with the Crystal Gems having to act as an arbitrator, given they'd be the only neutral party.

Yeah same here, although I'm not quite sure if it makes sense for Yellow and Blue Diamond's tiff over what happened to Pink to escalate into some kind of civil war.

Especially considering how White Diamond slots into this. Unless she's a fusion or something.

Kinda figuring that if Yellow and/or White Diamond were involved in the shattering of Pink Diamond, for whatever reason, that's enough to shake the Diamond Authority to the core- especially since, y'know, Blue has literally been crying over Pink Diamond constantly since she was shattered some time around six thousand years ago.

They already literally fought a war, used an indiscriminate superweapon to effectively wipe out all Gems on Earth to end it, set up yet another superweapon out of the corpses, and it's clear there's going to be no forgiveness to the perpetrator, and a desperate need for closure- even when 'Rose' voluntarily gives herself up and confesses to the crime. I don't think Blue's the type to take it well if it turns out her sisters have been pulling the wool over her eyes all these millennia and letting her suffer while not even knowing who to blame.

Plus, it'd lead into yet another parallel to Transformers. (Really, it's funny watching Transformers Animated because at times it comes off as a gender-swapped SU)

I wouldn't be surprised if it was humans that won Blue over in the ideological conflict, not Steven and the Crystal Gems. We've already seen her make progress in her mood after speaking to Greg and him empathising with the loss of her sister due to the loss of his wife. I wouldn't be surprised to have a scene of her speaking with Nanefua about the pressures of leadership at some point.

I think my copy of Save The Light might be glitched? I mean in the sense that an item in The Ancient Charging Station of The Woods isn't appearing, unless I already got it. I'm only missing one mystery item from the area and I have everything else. The level up charm isn't where it would be behind the wall so I'm assuming I either already got it and it's some other item I can't find, or my game is broken and stupid.

EDIT: Disregard, it was the loving Together Forever Breakfast on the upper area I was missing.

Nobody said it was unfair or unwarranted to state your preference. It's your insistence that an artistic choice was objectively bad people are taking issue with. You prefer a different style. Many of us prefer this style. That's fine. But your stubborn claim that we're somehow wrong for liking things this way is just obnoxious.

Hey, I just came back into this thread after so long of not having seen new episodes. It's a shame that the show hasn't been allowed to air new episodes and keep it's momentum, but perhaps the effort is not blow through all of the remaining backlog? Or perhaps it's to stifle a genuinely charming show that tries a lot of unique things. :( I'm going to try and think that there's no malice involved with the hiatus though, and look forward to what new episodes may come.

Is there a place beyond having to download Itunes where I can listen to the official SU podcast?

I could buy the malice/stifling argument if we were still in the first season, but after 130+ episodes that is serious paranoid fan conspiracy theory territory. Cartoon Network is trying to sell ad space based on a majority child audience--Steven Universe is not part of Adult Swim, remember--and Teen Titans Go is what pulls the most eyeballs. No grand plot, action heavy, simple jokes, easy to jump into, ties in with the current superhero movie craze, helps sell toys. This is frustrating for us fans but the show is not about to be canceled because of some uptight parents or close-minded executives. Also when the hell did Steven Universe Monopoly happen, this is the first I've seen of it.

For the podcast, I use the Doggcatcher app on my phone and it works great. As to the content, I think they made a mistake by choosing a fan to be the host--McKenzie really needs to shut up and just let her interview subjects talk instead of excitedly interjecting her own takes just when Dee Dee or Rebecca start to get on a roll--but that's honestly not a huge deal overall and she's gradually been improving.

If you want to do it the easy way, play 'em all in your browser or load the RSS feed into you favorite non-Apple podcast app. MP3s are versatile like that.

There may be no grand conspiracy, but the long hiatus has 100% hurt the show. A lot of people I know have dropped it, and even with the new episodes and podcast it's getting considerably less online chatter than it used to.

Again, I don't think this is something Cartoon Network did on purpose, they just gambled with the shows ability to retain an audience during an indefinite absense and lost.

There's still time to win back the crowd, but man Cartoon Network hasn't made it easy.

The scheduling has absolutely hurt the show. A year ago my anticipation for new SU was so white-hot I would try and catch leaks to get the new stuff ASAP Now I barely care. I'll still watch new material if/when it comes out, but the 'magic' is gone, fwiw.l Maybe it will come back. Maybe not.

Same. If it wasn't for this thread I'd have no idea there were new episodes coming and I probably wouldn't even watch them.

I'm in a similar boat, we went almost six months with absolutely no word of when new episodes are going to come out, it's a great show but the schedule is bullshit. Having a regular feed allowed for fan theories, speculation and enthusiasm. I didn't even bother to rewatch the last batch. :smith:

I'm also not into speculation, fan theories, and most online fandom in general (except fanart), so not having those things doesn't bother me.
