That's 7 weeks of content at least? A tide has come to wade, that's so good.

There's going to have to be a looooooong hiatus following this.
We've spent so much of the last year on hiatus, it might not be as long as you'd think.

I brought "Friend Ship" up earlier up because Burnett said they were nearly out of finished episodes when that premiered. Let's just assume they were entirely out, or at the lowest number they'll ever let there be until the show ends.

Since there's 21 episodes and a good chance of a two-parter, a decent guess is that it will go from July 18th to August 12th. The latter date is 392 days after "Friend Ship" premiered.

"10 days per episode" is a very consistent rule with this show and every other one from Cartoon Network Studios since ~2010, so they've completed about 39.2 episodes since then. 16 have premiered and 21 are set to by then, so that leaves production 39.2-16-21=2.2 episodes (i.e. 22 days) ahead of broadcast compared to the end of "Friend Ship".

There were 55 days between "Friend Ship" and "Nightmare Hospital". So I could see the show coming back from the next hiatus as early as mid-September.

I mean this assuming this block doesn't go past the season three finale...

That's 7 weeks of content at least?
21 episode is exactly thirty weeks of content.

Actually, they seem to be airing two episodes a day, it seems.

There's already listings of Steven Floats and Drop Beat Dad airing together.

Then I'm guessing it's two weeks, with the last day being three episodes. That means every episode will be listed just a few days before any of them premier.

Either way, I stand by my date for when the next hiatus could end—whether they go through the next 21 in two weeks or four doesn't matter to that calculation.

Are we going all the way into season 4 or???

If it's every weekday for "over a month", that would be more than 21 episodes...at least 25 episodes...and then some days are 2 episodes????

They clearly have a glut of episodes they've been building up for a while.

That makes me think of an interesting hypothetical for a survey: if you could change the "concentrated" airing scheme the show currently has to an "even" one focused on consistent weekly episodes, would you? Keep in mind that "even" means burning through the current backlog slowly: no more deluges of episodes (not even the one two weeks from today), but then you'll also have an episode every week for about seventy-seven straight weeks, after which you'll have about every fourth week off.

Pearl, Greg, and Steven in tuxedos is probably from the Musical Episode that Sugar has mentioned in a few interviews.

Jesus Christ, this seems more like a Steven Blitzkrieg than a bomb. Though I am kind of worried that this likely means we're getting another very long hiatus following this.

Also apparently there was a panel at Anime Expo recently.

This is going to be a veritable tsunami of Steven Universe. Haven't seen any of the spoilers, someone wanna tell me if they cover the full 21+ episodes or just a few of them?

I'm not a fan of this. This isn't going to give us enough time to think. We're not going to have time to analyze or make predictions, which takes a lot of the fun out watching the show. And I don't even want to imagine how long the subsequent hiatus is going to be. Honestly, I'd prefer an Adventure Time airing schedule over this, immensely.

It's not the new episodes, it's the airing schedule. Well when an airing schedule is this strange, people are bound to have opinions about it.

I think not giving enough time to react to each episode is a waste of potential, personally. There is so much depth in each episode and rushing it doesn't do it justice.
