Storyboard artist Maya Petersen did a little doodle of Jasper as a kitty, and it's adorable.

I hope this is a thing on the show. Jasper's own version of the Purple Puma. Orange Tabby?

Yeah, that's from this years' fanzine. Right below that is cat Amethyst and visorless Garnet napping next to each other.

Like I said, I'd post the whole thing, except there's this one image I now know is a huge spoiler if you haven't seen the SDCC footage.

Well the cat is out of the bag so to speak,or will be in what could be later this week,a perhaps a month

Its not good to keep the cat inside the bag for long,sooner or later it will claw it's way out,or someone will let it loose

I'm not holding my breath. The Zap2it schedule still shows nothing, even though it has some Gumball episodes listed as premiering nearly two months from now.

It's possible they're going to draw out this season because of its potential finality. If a sixth season is greenlit, they haven't started yet, so spreading out the current one would serve to lesson the break between seasons. If this does end up as the last season, they may go the route of making every episode premier a major event.

I'm thinking leak avoidance will be particularly difficult this time. We have no schedule for the featured episodes (by comparison the "Cry for Help" clip was less than a week before the TV premier), and a certain phrase prominent in a clip and that fanzine pic is at 21,300 google hits and counting (in quotes).

They point out that Pearl being the only Crystal Gem that we ever see driving is a holdover from a cut concept featured in this episode.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

I'm sure there's at least someone who suspects anything of White Diamond.

This might just be a relatively small sample size that I'm looking at, but I think "bloodthirsty tyrant" is one of the more popular theories on White Diamond that I've seen. Kind of a "the nation reflects the ruler" sort of thing.

There was an interview Rebecca Sugar did with io9 before the show was properly launched where she said

"But we won't necessarily see that many iconic villains on Steven Universe, says Sugar — the Gems aren't dealing with a particular person, but something "bigger than that." There's not "really a singular enemy." Instead, the conflict will be within the group, and it'll be about Steven figuring out what's right."

Obviously we now know about the Diamonds,particularly Yellow and Blue,and I think if White Diamond was the blood thirsty tyrant then that would make her the singular enemy since there is sympathy for the diamonds trying to come to terms with Pink's demise,and White been absent for some reason,

Honestly, Yellow's enough of a violent, impulsive psycho for the whole group. White being the same would feel redundant.

White will probably be the Stepford Snarker,fitting really considering how Yellow suppresses her emotions and encourages Blue to do the same

I typically imagine White Diamond as cold hearted and emotionless.

Second podcast it up, this time the guests are Zach Callison and Grace Rolek. Also, Steven and Connie.

To give a sense of production scale: Grace Rolek was a high school freshman when she auditioned for the part of Connie. When she started recording, she was a sophomore. By the time the show premiered, she was a junior.

So basically what Peridot thought and wanted Yellow to be?

@51387 Hrm... I don't think so. YD isn't necessarily insane (strict and prejudiced, yes, but I think she's frighteningly sane), and I don't think she's actually incompetent (for all that Homeworld has its issues, it seems to work, at least). If I were to pin any leadership-type trope on her, I'd probably most guess that she's a General Ripper (based on what she'd do to the bubbled Rose Quartzes).

The Cartoon Network twitter tweeted an official video for Stronger Than You with Estelle, and a crowd of Steven Universe fans.

Interesting anecdote: In the artbook, they called the show's mix of influences for the art/animation/directing "Hanna Barbanime". Ian Jones-Quartey used the term again describing O.K. K.O. and said Dexter's Labratory basically invented the concept. Craig McCracken agreed.
