I was about to make a blog entry about it and everything.

But then the information about the third Steven Bomb hitting us so soon made me realize that this one (i.e Steven Bomb 2) was probably just setting is up for that one - I'm sure Malachite's return will be a story arc in Steven Bomb 3.

Sorry, but I disagree. I think the first bomb was something that the Steven Universe Crew requested from Cartoon Network in order to maximize the impact of the season finale.

Some times one needs to be careful what you ask for.

I think that the first Steven Bomb was so successful that Cartoon Network said "This is GREAT, we should did this with all our shows, all the time!"

So now (at least for the summer) all the shows are being scheduled to follow the Bomb pattern. It no longer matters whether there is any over arching plot, or conections between the episodes, they are being shown 5 in one week, every four weeks (or whatever).

I bet the people working on the other shows are upset with the Crewniverse for starting this.

This is all just speculation of course. Agreed.
