(Since then of course the show has added another delightful nonbinary character in Smokey Quartz, who is Literally Me) i was just on the cusp of starting to interrogate my gender identity and figure out what it means to me to be a nonbinary person, and seeing this 11-minute kids cartoon follow the awkward, pubescent adventures of an explicitly gender neutral teen character was just gobsmacking. i watched it like 3 times in the week i first saw it.
Laser Light Cannon reinforced that it was gonna be a show to keep an eye on, Mirror/Ocean Gem was a real exciting break from the status quo that raised the plot stakes, and Lion 3 was really direct and beautiful and raised the emotional stakes (side note, i like how Lion 4 revisits the climax of 3 - surely an emotional high watermark for the viewer as it is for Steven - and completely subverts it, almost undermines it even)Īlone Together though, man.
I was predisposed to love this show because i was such a fan of Rebecca Sugar’s work on Adventure Time, and the pilot was like everything i dreamed of from a show she’d create. No wonder Steven’s developing some issues. Those last four episodes? That’s ALL ONE DAY. This is just here because I realized the period that season three covers, and – yikes. Which sets it in maybe mid-April of year 3.Īnyway. Then seasons 4 and 5 together cover about eight months, which is more sensible but between the multi-episode arcs and the catch-up fast-forward episodes it’s really hard to figure out how time progresses outside of the two seasonal episodes and word from on high how old (by the month) Steven and Connie are during Reunited. Doing the math, that can maybe just about technically work, but jeez. Like, the whole thing, plus a few episodes on either side. Season 3 seems to be set over about two weeks. Season two starts off okay by about 20-some episodes in it’s reflecting or referencing things 20-some episodes into season 1 as about a year ago.īut then, uh. Season 1 is clean enough seemingly one full year, start to end.
Each covers around a year.īut not really. Which kinda sorta works out with the original three production seasons, the latter two split in half on transmission. To date the show is set over a little more than two years. But, uh, the time progression is super odd. None of this is avert-your-eyes material for anyone behind on the show more of a meta thing.
