Disclaimer: We started this review in September. SEPTEMBER. It’s been sitting here, idling, mocking us. “Go ahead,” it kept saying, “Snark away. Try it. I DARE YOU”. We’ve had phone calls about it.

Critical thinking skills not getting much use here from me. *Or, because I’m watching Steven Universe for the first time right now, we might also say I went full star-eyes. I’m halfway through season one right now and already […]
