User blog comment:AK151/So... Episode 9 (and some blind speculation)/@comment-18396318-20130913052709

The first thing I asked after watching episode 8 was "Why wasn't Weiss made leader?" Sure, it makes sense to the viewer that Ruby's in charge, but in-world, it seemed unlikely to me. Seems like that was intentional to me, and Weiss' negative opinion of Ruby's leadership is going to be a thing for a while.
