Yeah man, that's Crispin Freeman.

Connie's dad is Alucard, you cannot tell me otherwise. This has been my headcanon for months now.

Recognizes name, but doesn't really recognize da voice.

He's been in nothing I've seen...except for 1 other thing.

2008 would be a little more accurate, Crispin Freeman played Electro in Spectacular-Spiderman, but yeah, ever since then he's been in a ton of Western Animated series. He played several characters in Young Justice. He's even been in a couple episodes of Adventure Time.

When it comes to anime I know him most from Eureka Seven and Durarara. And you can never forget Kyon from the Haruhi series.

Do I have to even mention all the video game voices he does?

I just found out he voices Winston in Overwatch, I'm surprised I didn't catch that one.

Normally I try to avoid spoilers, but that video showing Greg, Steven and Pearl going to Empire City and getting decked out in tuxedos has raised my curiosity, and the clip doesn't exactly spell out what's going on in the episode. All I can do is guess at why they're doing this. Did Pearl win the lottery? Have a sudden influx of money? How? I can not for the life of me think of a scenario where Pearl winds up rich and/or famous. So this is one spoiler I'm happy to live with.

Gems don't need to breath, so she was simply trawling the ocean floor for shipwrecks and buried treasure.

Alternatively, she sold some of her sword collection that probably consists of all original pieces.

I remember Doug Walker said that "Alone Together" was the episode that best summed up what Steven Universe was all about. And I'm inclined to agree with him.

The idea of two people combining to form one person, and it being taken seriously as opposed to played for laughs, is a very interesting idea, especially for a kids' show. You can take fusion as the obvious metaphor it looks like on the surface, but that episode gave it a lot more depth than that. It seemed to represent taking the next step in a relationship, in both a physical and emotional sense. And since the show can be said to have a central theme of love and relationships, it works really well.

Stevonnie is an interesting character, despite being a combination of two existing characters.

My theory that's probably gonna end up being wrong is that "Drop Beat Dad" is about Greg dropping a new hit song/album, leading to the events in "Mr. Greg." I like [up][up]this theory too.

[up]It'll be interesting if Stevonnie ever gets their own personality.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

It's not taking Stephen's naive innocence nor Connie's easy excitability.

The common theory is that dropbeat dad is about Marty and Sourcream since Sourcream is a DJ. Although I guess it could just as easily be about Yellowtail too.

Marty's voice actor also made vague comments about him reappearing.

And "dropbeat" seems like it'd be a pun on "deadbeat".

Yeah, that's more obvious direction...to take that wordplay.

But since Marty is...was in the "music industry" it can also be about him for that reason. Double up on those puns.

I can't see how that wouldn't be about their relationship. It doesn't seem like SU to have a Hate Sink get away scot free

I don't think this show would advocate beating up an old man for not liking his stepson's interest...as if it were similar to a D-...jerk of an ex-bf telling you to make him a sammich.

Do you seriously expect his life since he last saw Greg to have been any decent? He spent nearly every scene demonstrating self-destructive behavior. Just from the episode, I was kind of figuring he was dead to everyone by now, not just Greg.

[up]"Him" probably meant Marty.

There's no need to beat Marty up. Just keep out of his business and he's plenty capable of destroying his own life.
