The Meteor: Are Lyric and Shadow Soon to Follow?

Sonic Boom is back! And I have to say, the last several episodes have been much better. It seems like they've picked up the pace after the break we had in December. Episodes have better plots and are funnier in many ways. Of course, there are still some outright silly ones, but for the most part they have gotten better, in my opinion.

In this post, I want to talk a little bit about the episode "The Meteor" (Season 1, Episode 14). I know that back when the creators were still working on this show, they said that there would be no ongoing storyline and that the world would "reset" every time, but it sure seems like there is some continuity going on. Also, they said that the two Sonic Boom video games would be prequels to the show. If that's really the case, then the Shattered Crystal and Lyric and Shadow are all part of the universe and simply have not shown up on TV yet.

That being said, here's my theory: The meteor we saw in Episode 14 is part of the Shattered Crystal.

The reason I say this is because, as far as we know, not all of the fragments of the Shattered Crystal were found in the video game. That means that there are still some pieces left (duh), and the meteor looked an awful lot like it could be one of them. It had the same color scheme and a weird power that switched Sonic and Eggman's minds. It came from who-knows-where. However, something that could undermine my theory is the fact that none of the characters seemed to know what the meteor was. They just thought it was...well, a meteor. So that's a thing.

BUT, if the games really were prequels to the show, then it is a very likely possibility that the purple rock we saw in Episode 14 was part of the Shattered Crystal. I sure hope so, because if it was, that means that Lyric and Shadow are not far behind.

I really hope that Lyric will appear in the show at some point. I know he was supposedly defeated in the games, but come on. Villains ALWAYS come back. It would be cool to have him in the series and show Eggman how evil is done. (Seriously, the new Eggman is just not the same.) It would really give the show a boost to have him there, plus it would be totally awesome to see Sonic and his friends step up their game and show us all that they are still the epic Freedom Fighters we remember from the Prime universe.

More than anything, though, I WANT SHADOW. Seriously, when is he going to appear? They said he was going to be in the show. I want to know so much about his rebooted character. How does he know Sonic? Why is there a rivalry between them? What's his motivation? Is he an android (rumored)? I would really like some answers!!

I got excited this last weekend because I heard his voice and thought he was going to show, but it was a different villain. I am convinced Kirk Thornton was behind the mic, though. The voice was so similar it's not even funny. How dare you trick me into thinking it was Shadow, show creators!

Ah, well. He will come...eventually.

So there's my newest Sonic Boom theory for you! I strongly believe that "The Meteor" was part of the Shattered Crystal from the games, and that that episode was a precursor to Shadow's arrival in the TV series (possibly Lyric's, as well). Here's hoping!
