Let's enjoy it, I say! We've got weekly Steven Universe episodes for the foreseeable future. This is gonna be a great summer!

Super Watermelon Island / Gem Drill - Episode Discussion/Streams

Thanks be praised, the endless hiatus is finally ending! And what better way to end it than an episode about video games? We know Steven has a N64 and GameCube, who's to say he doesn't have a SNES stashed away somewhere? How many of you played Yoshi's Island growing up? What a game, right? Fantastic gameplay, and an amazing soundtrack! I know Steven Universe is going to do it justice. They already showed off their video game aesthetic during Garnet's Universe. So much hype for this episode!

Oh and I guess while Steven is playing/dealing with Super Watermelon Island, the rest of the gems will be having a Gem Drill. Makes sense, Peridot has no combat experience. Gotta get her up to speed!

Dig out the SNES, tune your TV to Channel 3, and play Cartoon Network at 7:00 ET/PT for these back-to-back episodes! If your mom sold your SNES at a garage sale years ago, that's ok! We have a bunch of emulators and roms listed after the break!

Article: Steven Universe is Back, Baby!

Steven Universe tops the list of AV Club's TV roundup! Everthing discussed in the blurb is stuff we already know unless you've been completely avoiding spoilers, but it's a good reminder. Share it with your friends!

Steven Universe is back, baby!

This series almost makes me wish the hiatus was longer. Almost. Enjoy the latest installment!

Article: Dead Parents, Steven Universe and Processing Grief

One of the topics that Steven Universe handles better than most of the other shows on television is its depiction of loss and grief. The Crystal Gems and Greg have all lost Rose, and they are all shown to be coping with that from time to time. Steven has to cope with never having known his mother in the first place.

Polygon featured a great article on this, taking the point of view of two of its staffers who are coping with the recent loss of their mothers and what they felt while watching Steven Universe bring it up. Check it out!
