Steven Universe Future, episodes 1-10
Jan. 18th, 2020 11:43 pmI binged all ten episodes to date of Steven Universe Future, which was announced as a limited-run series but with, in Cartoon Network's usual baffling PR decisions, no information on how long it would be. Anyway. Some thoughts behind the cut.

Steven Universe: The Movie
Sep. 5th, 2019 10:26 pmI watched this with the kids when it aired on Monday, but it's been a week in Chateau Steelypips.
On one hand, I was never going to like this because it consciously set out to be a different thing than I wanted. It is designed to be a relatively standalone story that could function as a recruitment tool for newcomers, which means it was incapable of really digging into the questions left by S5. Unfortunately, on the other hand, I don't think it actually succeeded on its own merits.
The kids liked it, though.
And now, the ( SPOILERS )
I kept the TV on after the movie hoping for an announcement about the future of the show, and I remain absolutely baffled that they haven't said anything beyond "The television movie is not the end of Steven Universe" to Polygon. If you're hoping that new viewers will watch your movie, why don't you tell them immediately afterward what to look forward to next?
Anyway. The dependent mammals should all be settled for the night, so I'm going to bed too.

Steven Universe The Movie trailer (does that really have no punctuation?). This is post-S5 so don't watch if you aren't caught up. ( reactions are spoilers for S5 )
A billion things were announced yesterday for the MCU, a super mixed bag. Of the things I have opinions on: ( many reactions are spoilers for Endgame )
And that's enough of that.

Steven Universe S05E26, "Familiar"
Dec. 25th, 2018 09:03 pmI thought this was the end of S5, but now it appears that S5 has 32 episodes rather than 26; that there will be single episodes on Dec. 31 & Jan. 7; and then there will be a four-part/1 hour episode on Jan. 21? (I'm basing this off the wiki, which you may prefer to avoid if you don't like seeing episode titles in advance.)
. . . now I'm paranoid again that there is no S6, which still has not been formally announced, that the work done on S6 was folded into the movie instead.
Anyway! Here is the first new episode since "Legs From Here to Homeworld" was released in July on the app, and it aired on Christmas Eve, thanks, CN.

The next episode of Steven Universe, after "Reunited," is "Legs From Here to Homeworld" and was shown at San Diego Comic Con. It is now available on the Cartoon Network's app . . . if you have a cable provider login. There is no TV release date yet. If you're waiting to watch it, please beware . . . basically everywhere.
Oh, and a movie was announced at SDCC, to be aired on the CN not theatrically. There's basically no other information available.

Steven Universe S05E21, "The Question"
Jul. 4th, 2018 11:03 pmIt has been a very long very hot day, and I watched this with the sound low because SteelyKid was falling asleep upstairs after fireworks, so, shallow commentary:

Edit edit: a few days ago Cartoon Network accidentally leaked a bit of footage from an undetermined point later in the series; opening up the Steven Universe subreddit the next day was like that gif from Community with the pizza and the fire. So, beware.

The Cartoon Network has released the next four Steven Universe episodes on its app, and also apparently on iTunes. They are to air one a week starting on Monday April 9, and then there's going to be a half-hour special on Monday May 7.
If you can stand to wait, honestly you might want to; these four episodes aren't anything like the tight single arc like the five Zoo episodes or the first four episodes of this season that aired as "Wanted." (Huh, I never wrote up the episodes that came between that and "Lars of the Stars." Should do that.)
Anyway. Spoilers.

This may not be a great idea because I literally ended the last panel I was on by saying that I was done with brains—I am very tired—but I need to stay upright for a little bit and I don't have a lot of notes for this, I don't think, looking at my notebook. So:
Description:
Steven Universe continues to be a show that deals uncompromisingly with issues around gender, childhood, and family in ways both unexpected and delightful (if not without the occasional problem). It's also telling a great long-form adventure story. We'll talk about all elements of this show in a panel that, like the show itself, will appeal to fans of all ages.
Kate Nepveu (moderator), Brian Liberge, Julia Rios, Hannah Simpson, Rachel Kenley

So, it was pretty great. But tiring, it was an active panel, and I was spending so much energy on moderating that I lost the ability to speak slowly, for which I also apologize.

Yes, I know I haven't written up the five prior episodes, I watched them on the app while I was about 3/4 asleep in our spare room and haven't since. I'll rewatch before Arisia and post then.
I am about 1/2 asleep now so this will be quick.

Steven Universe, "Wanted" (S05E01-E04)
May. 29th, 2017 11:34 pmSo the first four episodes of season five of Steven Universe aired tonight as a "one hour special event." They will be re-airing individually throughout the week -- two tomorrow at 7:00, then one Wednesday & one Thursday.
Aside: my DVR didn't know what to do with a block that didn't have proper season/episode information attached and shoved it down at the bottom of the list, which made me think it hadn't recorded at first, that is, panic.
