Well, if Merry realise that they have that kind of problem, they can at least push the idea of showing the whole volume in a one long episode. I could be fine with it, at least it's fair. But they will never do that - and you know, why? Because they get money for that "sponsorship" that gives sponsors the privilege to watch episodes earlier.

These two things could fix a lot of problems. But they don't look like theay are going to change smth. Was it Kerry who went with "don't-like-don't-watch" twit? It was so dumb, really. You are making a product, you earn money for that - why don't you bother getting better? Cliffhangers on pretty much every episode sucks and really shows how little trust the writers have on their own project - not always, but in this case, it does. The problem is that those cliffhangers have no pay off. Cliffhanger for Yang-Raven talk, well, that conversation was pretty pointless. The only thing we learned was Oz is responsible for the bird form, which doesn't really affect the story. And I guess that the twins went to Beacon to learn to kill huntsmen, though I still think that if no one figured that out is because nobody cared enough to. And again, it changes nothing. Cliffhanger for Raven's tribe vs Salem's minions, why bother having that fight scene? And to be fair, I wasn't counting on Raven winning or her dying (yet), but that we would get to see that fight was pretty much implied - that was what the cliffhanger was.

As for one long episode, I'm not sure they could do that, but they could make less episode and with better quality.

Did a writer really say "don't like it, don't watch it"? I thought the writers of RWBY actually read the comments and made changes based on them
