Connie has been in the Room before, so Steven's not the only one who can see it, but yeah, it's basically a virtual reality simulator that you can just walk in and experience without any equipment.

I loved how this episode played with the meta perceptions. Like, everything Rose is saying is clearly lifted directly from things others have told us about her and the kinds of things she said, but they also kind of sound like the kinds of things she actually would say, given what we know about her, and what we know about her is pretty much only also what Steven knows about her, which is why she was exclusively saying those kinds of things.

I'm wondering if the Peanuts reference was part of Steven's issues with his mom. Seems appropriate.

Steven shouldn't really have that parental problem of "what kids do with parents"...he still has Gregory.

So that was confusing...

Also Rosey seemed noticeably bigger...like gee wow.

[up][up]She may have seemed bigger because the only point of reference was child-sized Steven, whereas normally you see her next to Greg and Pearl.

No, the relative size thing wasn't in effect here...she was actually drawn bigger.

In certain scenes at least. She looked thicker is what I mean.

Good episode. Kinda wish more happened (this has to be the 8th time Steven learned to be happy with his current family instead of pining for his mom) and we saw some of Rose's history, but I still liked it. Season 4 has been a mixed bag thus far.

Nice to see Bismuth got name dropped though (now let her out for gods sake).

It does to me,since everything in the room was a simulation based around his feelings,so it could only exist before his eyes. The camera as they say never lies
Connie has been in the Room before, so Steven's not the only one who can see it, but yeah, it's basically a virtual reality simulator that you can just walk in and experience without any equipment.
Except they haven't just seen them, they've had physical contact with them. The fake Connie even tackled Steven to the ground. They're projections, not phantasms.

Why would the camera not lie? That's like expecting a camera to see through a latex mask because that's not someone's "real" face.

Rose is about nine feet tall.

Remember, she's a quartz and roughly the equivalent of Jasper and about the same size.

Also, Steven isn't tall, so she'd look even taller be comparison.

[up][up]It's an inconsistency necessary to invoke the truth of the situation...

So it's nothing worth nitpicking about too much.

It makes more sense then temporary idiocy of Steven trying to bring the fake Rosey out of the room.

The room can pull memories and expectations out of people's heads.

All this tells us that the actual physical aspect of the room is invisible force in a black void. Anything you see in the room is being projected directly into your brain.

The fluffy cloud environment is Rose's default wallpaper, I guess. Or a screensaver.

Rose probably built the room before cameras were a thing. It can't interact with the technology the same way it can with a living being.

I take it the person really hated this episode. Either that, or I just really despise callout posts. Or both.

For a while, I've made observations about Rose similar to the ones Steven brought up—about all the problems she left behind, including the other gems' emotional issues—but came to a pretty opposite conclusion (or similar conclusions viewed very differently):

Steven was wondering if Rose just didn't want to face her problems, and reincarnating as Steven was an ultimate coward's way out.

I thought Rose, after thousands of years of interpersonal stagnation, concluded she couldn't solve these problems. That, even without banking on Steven being able to succeeded where she failed, Rose figured her absence wouldn't be impossible to recover from because she thought she wasn't helping that much anymore.

The truth is that he found out that his absentee parent isn't as awful as everyone made her seem.

But it wasn't a big deal.
