Jeff Liu posts: Three songs from Lion 3: Straight to Video
We’re still in a drought of getting soundtracks from Aivi and Surasshu (they’re hard at work on new songs, it seems), but Jeff Liu has been providing. It seems that we’ve gotten all we’re getting, so now it’s time to post the songs!
- The Pitch Got Delayed (2:02)
- Greg on the Beach (1:10)
- Lion’s Mane Demo (3:19)

Song of the week: Amalgam
We have long speculated over exactly how Rose contributes to Steven’s personality. Now we know that Rose is half of Steven—much like a Gem fusion. It shouldn’t be hard to see why Amalgam is our song of the week this week!

What could Lion 3: Straight to Video mean?
Alright, we’ve gone over what we know for sure about Lion 3: Straight to Video. Now it’s time to get down into the speculative stuff. There’s a Chekhov’s Gun just waiting to be fired, and probably some more foreshadowing for stuff that will be more fully revealed later.
What we learned from Lion 3: Straight to Video
This was definitely a lore episode, or at least one that made sure to give us a hefty package of it. It wasn’t overburdened though: like the other good lore episodes, Lion 3: Straight to Video is going to make us work for our understanding of the series, and we probably won’t fully appreciate what it hints at until later in the season.
Of course we still got some facts for immediate redemption. It wouldn’t be any fun otherwise.
Immediate reaction to Lion 3: Straight to Video
We wanted characterization, and I think we got a lot of it. If you’re a lore aficionado then you should be very pleased by the episode. We didn’t learn enough to really edit the Backstory page, and the concrete lore we’ve learned is also rather low, but this week we’ve got a lot of fodder for the speculation mill. So much fodder…
Also: classic Pearl. 🙂
What to expect from Lion 3: Straight to Video
This one has the potential to be quite strong in characterization, if not lore. Up until now in the series, we’ve only known Rose from images and others’ memories of her (though we’ve also heard her voice, it was merely the tiny floating whale using it for five words).
That all might change after this episode. If you look at the promo image for Lion 3: Straight to Video, you can see Steven clutching what appears to be a video tape. We know that Rose Quartz’s voice actress has been in the studio (she even recorded a song, and we might just get to hear it this episode), so could we finally get to see some of her in motion? If that isn’t enough reason to get hyped, we don’t know what is.
