-- I was just meh about Velvet's semblance/weapons cache.

-- I thought the 'Neo does something that makes us really hate her' thing would be this episode. Maybe in 12? Also, better Roman than Neo, assuming he's actually dead.

-- Glynda doesn't even break a sweat when she's fighting. I'd love to see her go all out against a very large enemy.

-- I was satisfied with the violence at the end of this episode. Shit finally has consequences, even though we all know she can get an Ironwood-esque robo-arm, or get it reattached. The stylization of the arm coming off scene was well done.

-- I've labeled Raven as Black Queen, or at least, 'not a good person' since we first saw her. I have no reason to think she's anything else.

-- My only real gripe was the fall maiden scene. It just felt like they were trying to move the story along as quickly as possible. Boom, Cinder gets the powers ... moving along. Jaune didn't ask many questions, given the tubes and pods and dark room, didn't stand guard like he should (not that he could have really done anything) and much like predicted, Amber's powers go straight to Cinder at her death. Then Pyrhha hops out of the pod without any visible side effects, like, I dunno, being in pain, tired, something? And then runs off with Jaune, right past Cinder, who doesn't even bother with them.

I'm really hoping that Pyrrha got some of Amber's powers or something good came from that scene. Otherwise, what a fucking waste of build up the past several episodes.
