Still improving, Lion 3: Straight to Video pulled in 1,921,000 viewers according to ShowBuzz Daily.
That’s the last we’ll be seeing for the ratings of the show until 2015 when we get back to new premiers.
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.
Song of the week: After These Messages
So we had a week without Steven. That’s alright: we get to see a new episode this week! And even though we’ll have at least one week off after Lion 3: Direct to Video airs, we know Steven will come back to us yet again… After These Messages.

New episode: Lion 3: Straight to Video will air on December 4, 2014
We’re not going to have a new episode this week, but fear not: a new episode will air next week. Another Lion episode is always welcome, and this episode could go just about anywhere, considering the very basic synopsis.
Lion 3: Straight to Video
Lion won’t stop laying on Steven’s face while he sleeps.
Song of the week: Overgrown Brambles
We know what the bramble means!
Steven gained a fantastic new power in Watermelon Steven, and set some chickens out into the world that we can only hope are going to come home to roost. So with all of the excitement over the new power to create plant guardians, this week’s song of the week is Overgrown Brambles from An Indirect Kiss (the first hint we got of this power, though Lars and the Cool Kids did show an affinity for plant life by Rose).

What could Watermelon Steven mean?
