Steven Universe Finale - Episodes Discussion/Streams

Last time on StevenBall Future, Steven went Super-Steven and handily defeated Earth's most powerful warrior, Jasper. Now that Jasper swears her loyalty, there's only one place to go: Homeworld. Home of the most powerful gem warriors in the universe. Can Steven destroy the Diamonds and their guardian Spinel to achieve his rightful position as ruler of the universe? Peace was never an option.

Tonight, we have four action packed episodes. The final four:

Homeworld Bound:
I mean honestly, the conquest probably take Steven all of 10 minutes. After all, the Diamonds don't suspect a thing. After casting their shattered remains into the core of the planet, Steven will be the ruler of the entire Gempire. The last Diamond standing. And then...

Everything's Fine:
You know what they say, the conquest is more fun than the kingdom. Even with Connie's extensive knowledge of political science and sociology, this Gempire won't run itself. Steven's a warrior now! He can't sit and hold court all day. But what to do? He beat everybody! There's no-one left! Unless...

I Am My Monster:
Unless he fights himself. That's right, it's time for the bout of the eon! But how will he pull it off? Cloning? Please. He's the ruler of all Gemkind now. He can just have them build another Hourglass! Armed with his brand new time machine, he's free to jump all throughout his own past, defeating himself as many times as he wishes. That is, unless he's defeated himself! The Hourglass gets damaged in the scuffle and catapults Steven into...

The Future:
This is it, folks, the whole point of the show. As Steven wanders around the temporal landscape, unstuck from time, he can observe the web of his potential futures spread out before him in a way Garnet only wishes she could.  How do most of them turn out? How many of them have him marrying Connie? How many of him show his lust for power and conquest overcoming and destroying him? How will he get out of this temporal purgatory and lock back into a timeline? And will he be able to pick the best one?

Or not. I've been wrong about these predictions occasionally. Can't win 'em all!

The Future comes to an end starting at 7 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network. If you're unstuck from time and can't make it back in time for the show, Don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

And hey, it's been quite a ride, hasn't it? On behalf of the Beach City Bugle staff, thank you for taking this journey with us. As we pull into this final stop, don't despair. After all, who knows what The Future holds?

Here we are in The Future, and it's bright.

Mr. Universe / Fragments - Episode Discussion/Streams

What's Greg been up to? How's Greg taking all of this? This future stuff? Steven growing up? Literally? Is it time for another Greg episode? Will there be a road trip? Will his hair grow back? Will there be lessons learned? Is anyone else going a little stir-crazy right about now?  Did anyone else lose all track of time and forget what day it was? Hey, do you suppose "Fragments" mean that this is a Greg episode because something terrible happens to Steven? Will terrible things ever stop happening to Steven? Will I ever run out of questions?

Find out at 7 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! And if you're not trapped at home for the foreseeable future and are instead out saving the world, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Together Forever / Growing Pains - Episodes Discussion/Streams

The Steven Universe fandom has had its rough patches. Long hiatuses. Uncertain airdates. Bloodstone. We've been stood up, messed around, and taken for fools. But this time around, we know what we're in for. With Steven Universe Future coming to a close at the end of the month, some of us ain't too proud to beg for more. It would take a strong, strong fan to stay going strong into the post-series era. But don't despair. We don't need to cry for help, Steven's here! And he's never gonna give us up, never gonna let us down. If we're willing to take him to our hearts, we'll be together forever.

When you gonna tune in? 7:00 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network, of course. But if taking him to your heart gives you growing pains, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

In Dreams / Bismuth Casual - Episodes Discussion/Streams

Sweet dreams! What are your dreams? Bismuth's dream is scaleable manufacturing! That's right, tonight, Bismuth gets down to business. Let the puns roll! I mean, it makes sense. She's great at forging weapons, but aside from Ronaldo, whom can she sell them to? Watch Bismuth go from a small, forge-on-demand Etsy weapon-smith, selling fine anime-inspired swords, to a multinational conglomerate selling dangerously-sharp collectibles! But is it lonely at the top? Will capitalism corrupt our corporate crystal collectible creator? Will she have a revelation about workers' rights, Undercover Boss style? Tune in and find out!

Bismuth's business goes public at 7:00 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you're unsatisifed, make a complaint to your local Better Bismuth Bureau, and get your refund from the streams and downloads after the break.

Little Graduation / Prickly Pair - Episodes Discussion/Streams

All that college prep is about to pay off, because Connie's graduating high school! If anyone would graduate early, it'd definitely be Connie. A wide world of academia awaits her! Which college will she go to? Are her perfect SAT scores enough to get her in the door of any institution she desires? And how far away is she willing to go? Will Steven forget that Warp Pads exist again, and try to convince her to go to a university within easy driving distance? I think they'd end up being quite a prickly pair if Steven tried to exert control over Connie's educational future...

Which is the title of the second episode, so oops. There goes our hope of seeing Future Stevonnie.

Connie's bright future starts at 8 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you can't set foot at a graduation ceremony without incurring crushing student debt, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Snow Day / Why So Blue? - Episodes Discussion/Streams

It's a snow day! But Connie isn't about to let a few frosty flakes get between her and her education. Steven and Connie brave the elements to get Connie to school before the bell rings! Can their combination of skis, snowboards, and a "heavily modified" snowmobile Peridot made pull through where the school bus could not? Why didn't they just ask Lion? Also what's Connie going to do when she realizes the school is closed once she gets there?
And following that up, it's another PSA episode where Sunstone helps Connie deal with the frostbite incurred in her last adventure. It'll be a festival of first-aid and frivolity! Either that or it's finally the Blue Pearl episode we didn't get from last week. Or maybe Blue and Yellow Zircon will show back up! Will we finally solve the mystery of why Yellow appeared to be green?

The flurries start at 8 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you're snowed in and can't make it, don't be blue! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Bluebird / A Very Special Episode - Episodes Discussion/Streams

Blue? Bird (Mom)? Why, this must be an episode about Blue Pearl! ...Is that still her name, or did Steven also nickname her after sports equipment? Guess we'll find out! It's also A Very Special Episode, so ... oh  no. Does Blue Pearl have a drug problem? Does she have a history of abuse?

Well ok, she did used to belong to a diamond. I guess that last one wouldn't be too surprising. Please, don't hurt her! She's suffered so much already! She just wants to sketch and be happy! Don't make me cry again, Rebecca!

The tears will flow tonight at 8 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network. If you ... just can't... handle it right now... don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Steven Universe Future - Episodes Discussion/Streams

So ummmmmmm... turns out there's more!

We've got a whole series more! And it begins tonight. Prepare to enter the Steven Universe Future! Just when you thought everything would be peaceful and happy now that Spinel has been quelled, Sugar does it to us again! What crazy adventures will Steven and the squad have now?

Well tonight, we have four for ya:

Little Homeschool:

Ok, a little weird we'd be starting "Future" with a flashback, but I've personally always wondered how much schooling Steven really got growing up. It seems like he didn't attend a formal school, so the Crystal Gems must've taught him. But the only time we saw Pearl attempt just that, it didn't seem... well organized. Now we'll finally find out!

Guidance:

Captain Lars and the Off-Colors are lost in space! Can Fluorite fix the guidance computer and figure out the way back home? Or will they just have to travel planet to planet, having adventures and solving crimes? Hey, it worked the first time! ... Or is this the first time? Is this episode another flashback? When do we get to the "Future"?

Rose Buds:

Um ok, apparently another flashback episode? In a time before Steven, we get to see Rose Quartz experimenting with her weird creeping moss! Or would you call it creepy moss? Lots of backstory being filled in tonight! But I hope we get to see the "Future"!

Volleyball:

In which Watermelon Tourmaline gets to finally play in that volleyball game she missed out on back in Beach Party! Finally, the "Future"! And with Gems playing casual sports, I'd say the future looks bright!

This Steven Universe Future begins after the movie at 8PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! But if you're living in The Future and don't have cable, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Steven Universe: The Movie - Movie Discussion/Streams

We got movie sign! It's finally here! The long-anticipated Steven Universe movie! At the length of around 6 normal Steven Universe episodes, we are in for a doozy of a ride! The Crewniverse worked extra hard on this one, folks. Expect some amazing animation, awesome acting, wonderful writing, and boodles of new spectacular songs to find yourself humming for weeks to come!

I'm going in blind, how about you? I haven't seen any of the trailers or nothin'. Usually I'd speculate on the episode title, but I've got nothing to go on! The only thing I know is the fandom keeps talking about the main villain, who they're calling "Heartstone." Oh no, this is another Bloodstone incident again, isn't it? Of course! The Crewniverse are geniuses! Ronaldo was the Big Bad all along, hiding in plain sight! A real master of puppets, only appearing to be incompetent! He's been massing power this whole time... able to do it behind the scenes while Steven and the Gems were off-world! That's why his blog has been silent for the past two years! The Bloodstone incident was him attempting to gain access to the Crystal Gem's temple and the Crystal Heart within. But now that the Earth is full of newly un-corrupted gems who don't know about anything that's happened in the past 6 millennia, he's got himself an army! Can the Crystal Gems stand a chance? Will the temple fall? What evil machinations does Ronaldo have planned for the Crystal Heart?

Oh wow this sounds amazing! I can't wait any longer. I'm going to sneak a peek at the movie poster and...

Oh. It's a completely new character.

Never mind, folks! I got carried away again. Don't worry Dave, you'll get one of these right someday...

It's showtime at 6 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you didn't pre-order your movie ticket 3 months in advance, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Oh and don't forget to stick around after the show! I'm told there'll be a nifty behind-the-scenes documentary on the movie for all of us to enjoy.

Change Your Mind - Episode Discussion/Streams

Here we go, everybody! A full hour of Steven-y goodness! With a Crewniverse list that long, how can it not be good? And we're gonna need the full hour, because this episode is about one of the hardest things you can do: Change Your Mind.

I mean, we all know how hard it can be, right? If you've ever tried to convince someone to change their mind, it can really be an uphill battle. Especially if it's a long-held belief. Some people devote their whole lives to changing minds, and the change they seek takes many lifetimes to come to fruition. And nowadays especially, it seems stubbornness reigns everywhere. People hold their ideas as sacred, even if they've got nothing to back them up. Heck, try to convince someone the Earth is round, and these days you'll get nothing back but hollow claims and vitriol.

Homeworld seems like it's far, far worse. There's one person whose opinion matters: White Diamond. Sure, Blue and Yellow have a say as well, but they sure seem afraid to cross White. In a climate like this, how can Steven even hope to succeed?

But I'm sure he will! Believe in Steven.

The great debate begins at 7 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you decided to skip this episode but then changed your mind, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Escapism - Episode Discusson/Streams

Escape! Yellow Diamond's gone too far this time, locking Stevonnie away in a dark prison cell! But of course, this won't last. Stevonnie's got all the ingenuity of Connie, and all the enthusiasm of Steven. No cell can hold them for long. And though Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl are currently indisposed, it's not like there's no help out there. After all, who last helped Stevonnie out of a scrape?

But that's not all. This episode, we may finally get the in-show appearance of a long-anticipated song! Who will sing it? What will the context be? We've been wondering about this song for years! Is it Rose's song? Heck, at this point, I could even see Yellow, Blue, or even White Diamond singing it to Pink now. Here's hoping we find out!

The prison break will be at 7:30 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you haven't spent the last 17 years tunneling out of your cell, don't worry! We have streams and downloads after the break.

Together Alone - Episode Discussion/Streams

Steven wants to throw a ball to get the Diamonds together. That means he's going to have to learn to dance! The Gems are excellent dancers, but they're not so excellent teachers. So I guess Steven will have to rely on Connie! She may not have much dancing experience, but I'm sure she's read a book or two on it. Maybe they can play some music and improvise their own dance. But without supervision they're bound to get a little too close... and that's when the magic can happen!

Fusion, I mean. That magical thing gems can do.

Wow, can you imagine what a fusion between Steven and Connie would be like? Garnet will be so happy! Steven... Connie... Stev-onnie... they'll probably run all over Beach City enjoying the wonderful and magical experience fusion can bring! Maybe they'll end up at a party and show off the amazing new dance moves they came up with!

Hmm, this is sounding pretty familiar.

The Times Square Ball drops at midnight ET, but this episode featuring a ball drops at 7:30 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you're busy ringing in 2019, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Familiar - Episode Discussion/Streams

"Back again, are we, Starlight? You always were a persistent one. What more is there to discuss? Your little rebellion was fun, but it's over now. Everyone was growing quite tired of it. The planet and gems you ruined will be destroyed, as is the way of all that defies our order. When you can demonstrate that you are ready to be tasked with another colony, then we can find a more appropriate planet for you. Perhaps one that has already been cleansed of pesky organics."

"Oh, is that not all, Starlight? You grow bored, waiting these eons? Very well. If it's a story you desire, then a story you shall have. Everyone loves telling stories."

"Once upon a time, there was an immature, impatient Diamond named Magenta. She believed she could run a colony, even though her magical powers were still a long way from fully developed. Her responsible sisters, Amber and Cyan, did their best to help her, but Magenta turned away. Everyone could see that Magenta was in over her head. She had to resort to imbuing the organic life on her colony, doomed to destruction thought it was, with magical powers in a desperate attempt to augment her own. Her magical familiar spirits were instrumental in bewitching the gems under her command, and giving her the power to fight the authority of her sisters. She mistakenly believed that organic life was actually worthwhile, instead of the mistaken dead-end of nature it actually is."

"Thankfully, Starlight, even the power of Magenta's familiars stood no chance against the Diamond Authority. Magenta finally turned herself in, and while she was being rehabilitated, Everyone went down to her colony and destroyed every last trace of her familiars. Oh yes, it was -- Starlight, do not interrupt the story with your loud roars. This is very... Wait, wha-"

Lion vs. White Diamond will be LIVE on pay-per-view Cartoon Network Sunday TONIGHT at 7:30 PM ET/PT! You'll pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge! If the fight isn't available in your area due to blackout restrictions, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

Legs From Here to Homeworld - Episode Discussion/Streams

164 days. We've been waiting very, very long for this hiatus to end. And it finally is! If you need a refresher, we last left Steven staring up into the concerned eyes of the Crystal Gems... and his two new giant Aunts.

Probably. I'm not sure how the family dynamic is going to go with the Diamonds. But hey, I guess in this episode, we might find out! The Diamond hand ships are folded over each other on the Delmarva coast, leaving everyone stranded on Earth. Or are they? After all, Lapis Lazuli gems can fly through space all by themselves. Do you really think a Diamond would be without that ability? Turns out, of course they aren't! One of Steven's latent Diamond abilities is the power to literally walk through space! The Diamonds just don't do it because it's horribly inconvenient. And it takes a long time. But eh, the Crystal Gems figured they'd get a head start heading for Homeworld, and maybe Peridot and Lapis can pick them up in a repaired hand ship once they recover from being poofed.

Yes yes, this is a good plan.

Steven takes his first step into the stars at 7:30 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you forgot your space pants, don't worry! We'll have streams and downloads after the break.

And just in case anyone's been lost in space for this entire hiatus and hasn't seen this episode early, please keep the comments spoiler-free until after it airs.

Steven Universe to Return With New Episodes December 17th!

We've waited months. Literally months after the new episode was shown at San Diego Comic-Con, we are finally getting an air-date for the new episodes of Steven Universe! It is almost hard to believe with how long we've had to wait for this, but here we are! Needless to say, I think the Cartoon Network tweet is accurate of how we feel:

*EXTERNAL SCREAMING* Steven and the Crystal Gems head to space for Steven Universe: Diamond Days 🚀 💎 New episodes weekly, starting December 17 at 7:30p ET! 💫#StevenUniverse #DiamondDays #WhiteDiamond pic.twitter.com/Wo2p1fFkKj

Crossover Nexus - Episode Discussion/Stream

Look at that good boy! But wait, what's KO from OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes doing here? While he did show up on our website earlier this year, it's not April Fool's Day anymore.

Wait. Could it be....a crossover episode?

This certainly wouldn't be the first time for Cartoon Network to do something like this. In fact, OK K.O.! already had two crossovers with two older Cartoon Network cartoons (both which I absolutely loved as a kid). So it looks like KO is going to be having some fun with three more new friends: a young boy that shapeshifts into aliens, the offspring of an inter-dimensional demon, and an alien who is made of love. Huh, makes KO seem like the most average member of the party.

Well, either way, let's watch this good little boy make some new friends. The episode, 'Crossover Nexus' premieres tonight at 6:30 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network (I'm more than positive they'll remind you on the channel throughout the day).

If you're like me and have been waiting for this since they announced it at San Diego Comic-Con, we have streams and downloads below the break so you can enjoy right away.

Legs From Here To Homeworld - Episode Discussion/Download Link

Are we late on the draw? Yes. Were we doing that convention thing this weekend? Yes. We don't have a television release date for this episode because why would the show air on TV anyway? Anyway, enjoy the episode! Not much to say on it without spoiling!

Reunited - Episode Discussion/Streams

Oh my stars you guys it's finally happening. The royal gem wedding! Sapphire was royalty, right? Maybe. But the episode is called Reunited, so maybe there's even more in store! Ok yes, it could just be referring to how Garnet is going to be reunited, but why stop there? What if Lars and the Off-Colors make it back to Earth for this episode! Or maybe Lapis will come back! Or Jasper? Oh! Oh! What if gem weddings reverse corruption? Maybe we'll get more Crystal Gems coming back!

Wait, calm down. Don't get too excited. Focus on the wedding. Ruby and Sapphire's special day! And Garnet's of course. Ohhhhhhh it's going to be so perfect! What could possibly go wrong?

Crap, wait, I didn't say that. How do you delete messages on Blogger? Nothing will go wrong. Everything is fine. Everything will be just fine. Weddings take time. The episode is only 15 minutes, right? Everything is going to be bright and happy sunshine and nobody will get hurt.

Nothing bad at all will happen at 7:30 ET/PT on Cartoon Network. If everything is fine and nothing is wrong, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

It'll be fine.

Made of Honor - Episode Discussion/Streams

Everyone knows Garnet is made of love. She even sang a song about it. But did you ever wonder what the other gems are made of?

Light. That was easy. Thanks, Pearl.

But I mean, metaphorically. Garnet is made from and motivated by love, but there are so many other things gems could be driven by. Especially back during the Gem War. Courage, justice, glory, liberty, honor... 

In this episode, we'll revisit the Gem War to find out which of our favorite gems is made of honor. Wedding's on hold, everybody! Unless the title has a double meaning. Ah well, only one way to find out!

The flashback begins at 7:30 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you're too busy watching re-runs of the royal wedding to tide you over, don't worry! We've got streams and downloads after the break.

The Question - Episode Discussion/Streams

We know The Answer. We've known it for years. Garnet is the Answer. The Answer is love. But having the Answer is only the beginning. As Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy explained before, you cannot understand the Answer until you have the Question.

But what could it be? "Why?" "Are we stronger than the Diamonds?" "What's yellow and dangerous?" "How many roads must a gem walk down?" "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" "Why are you such a buttface?" "What have you got?" "How was Ruby able to alter fate?" "Why was Sapphire willing to give up everything?" "Who am I?"

The Answer gets questioned ... well, this entire week so far, really. But especially tonight at 7:30 PM ET/PT on Cartoon Network! If you can't tune in because you're too busy pulling Scrabble tiles out of a bag, don't fret! We've got streams and downloads after the break.
