This sums up some of my thoughts completely: People seem to want a character death or one of the 4 safe havens of humanity falling pretty early in the series. My objection to this line of thinking is this: If we have all of that dark and edginess thrown in early on, then whats going to be left for future storylines? If they 'find and defeat the cause of the Grimm' by volume 4, what kind of storyline will keep the show going? Would it keep going at all?

I think that people should take into consideration that, at an estimate, RWBY is probably going to have at least 4 seasons, with about 2-3 volumes in each. That's 12 years of episodes. Many of these darker plot points likely will happen somewhere down the line, but they shouldn't happen in the first two years.

I agree that the episode was underwhelming, yes, but remember that this is being made by the guys who turned a show about a bunch of people talking in a boxed in Canyon into what can only be described as some pretty awesome stuff. I will also agree on the fact that the Grimm really need to start pulling their weight before we stop taking them seriously. How might they do this? Well remember that Village that JNPR were going to and that Ren seems determined to visit? I have a feeling that seeing the smoking remains of that might reinforce the Grimm's threat, AND provide character development for Ren. But thats just an idea.
