I haven't read the previous posts in this thread yet, but...

Oh my God, Volume 6 is off to such a good start, I am genuinely enjoying RWBY again! WOO! Let's just hope it doesn't suddenly drop down and become another "Sitting around and talking" thing like Volume 5. But wow, wow wow wow, WOW. I am so upset that they ended the episode on a cliffhanger like that, like AAAAGH!

Okay, so... okay. Cinder surviving because she landed in water, I can super definitely accept that. We all thought she was dead because we thought she landed on a stone cave floor, but that water is definitely deep enough for her to reasonably survive.

The true meaning of this episode's title is that the woman Cinder killed was carrying her basket uncovered when she had frigging bread in it that was getting soggy.

I'm so glad they gave us an explanation for how the hell they intend to get into Atlas other than walking up to the border, knocking on the gate, and going "HELLO?"

So yeah, Ozpin straightup lied about the Relic of Knowledge.

1. He said that the Relic will answer their questions. He didn't say anything about a person inside the Relic doing the answering.

Conclusion: Half-Truth.

2. He said the questions (PLURAL!) were used before he put the Relic away in Haven's vault. We know the Huntsman Academies were established after the Great War, which ended 80 years ago, so he tried to lead them to believe all three questions were used about 80 years ago. He even literally said they can't use the Relic right now. Jinn said there are two questions remaining this era, which means he only used one question 80 years ago.

Conclusion: LIE.

Tsk tsk, Ozpin.

Speaking of Jinn, SHE'S THE STATUE LADY!!!! As soon as I saw her hair and her chains, I was like "Oh my God, it's the statue lady!!!" Except the statue version of her has clothes. (Reading the thread posts now, I see Raijin beat me to this)

And she's basically a djinn, a genie. And the Relic is a LAMP! LOL! I dunno why, but I found that so amusing!

I absolutely love how magical the scenes with Jinn were. They did such a great job of portraying this magical, mystical, otherworldly feeling, between the music and animation. It's so good.

Good to know Cinder's crew are wanted in Mistral.

I wonder if Li'l Miss Malachite is related to Melanie and Miltiades Malachite in any way. And she totally alludes to Little Miss Muffet.

I like how WBY immediately snapped to being ready to get Qrow away from Ruby. Even Yang was ready. Like, damn.

That castle is so beautiful, and I love the animation of everything forming out of blue smoke-- and oh my God, there are axes all over the field, I just noticed that. I was too busy marveling at the pretty fairy tale castle the first time.

Aaand basically, Salem was the long-haired woman staring at a statue of Ozpin in the opening.
