On one hand, this might be a ratings blip - they happen for various reasons (heck, it might have also just been people seeing the episode synopsis and figured it was Filler). I wouldn't put stock in one episode having lower ratings.

On the other, we are talking about Cartoon Network. I haven't trusted anything they've done regarding scheduling a good show since they screwed over Megas XLR.

Amethyst quit wrestling because it's fucking boring.

Nothing even remotely posed any form of risk to her.

[up][up]It's fake. It's not about the risk, it's about validation. That's why you have 50 year old Goldberg headlining Wrestlemania after a decade away.

She doesn't need that validation anymore.

It was a beautiful episode and I loved every second.

Steven's interactions with Lars there sort of reminded me of my interactions with my girlfriend.

That's a bad sign, isn't it?

It's pretty normal to not want to share personal business...when it gets to a certain point of nosiness.

Sounds more like Reality Subtext to me. Po Mo is more like anything involving the stuff Peridot/Lapis do together. Or that one time with the T-Shirt and the mayor. Or Beachapalooza,

Never mind.

Honestly, I'd chalk the ratings up to the fact that Cartoon Network barely even advertised it. Which sucks. Ugh, I wish I had money so that I could watch SU legally... or at least a TV...

I was actually just happy to see Lars and Sadie again after not showing up for a little while.

Lauren Zuke made a simple, but confusing promo (their first promo in a long time) for "Room for Ruby". It has some details about production:

  • Switching up the usual boarding teams, this episode was boarded by Lauren Zuke and Raven Molisee, the first time either had boarded with someone besides Hilary Florido and Paul Villeco, respectively. Zuke called it "the first", so I'm guessing it wasn't a one-off thing.
  • Zuke mentions having "4 or 5 more episodes[...] left to air", and so apparently left the crew some time ago. This is not evidence of the show ending at season five—it has 26 episode, and "4 or 5 more episodes" from one boarder will go about 12-16 into next season.

So the rumors of Zuke leaving were true, then. Sad to see they've gone, but they at least seemed to have a good time.

I can see Peridot not knowing what death is, but Lapis was around for the war. Not all of it, but she was in at least one battle, so I think she should know what death is. And if that's OUR Ruby then she most definitely knows what death is.

Shit, forgot Zuke was non-binary, had to edit my post.

The 4Channers are no doubt getting all high and mighty about "calling it" after that alleged private blog bullshit.

I vaguely recall Zuke expressing no preference for pronouns, though. Vaguely.

I think they said something about they were unsure of pronoun preference but wanted to go by they/them unless they said otherwise. I could be wrong, I dunno.

Lars was the best/funniest part of this episode. Apart from his scenes, it was just kind of dull and pointless.

Nobody yet, though people think Ashly Burch may voice her.

And I'm honestly not too bothered about Zuke leaving. I liked their episodes at first, but I've disliked almost every recent episode they've done.
