User blog:Hidden Scorpius XI/My Impressions on "Beginning of the End" (Vol 3. E. 7)

So... After "Fall" we got a two weeks hiatus with a WoR in between. This week we get a new episode of RWBY, but we're still hanging from the cliff from "Fall." Meaning that there's yet another week before we learn what will happen with Yang...

... Son of a B***h!

So, with that said, let's dive to the first (and probably only) villains episode. This, is "Beginning of the End."

SPOILERS AHEAD! (I should've done that in all my other blogs).


 * Sudden Lazer Team Trailer is sudden.
 * It's funny that Winter appears in the opening sequence, considering that she has only appeared in 2 episodes of the volume. So hyped, so little screen-time, just like FNKI, who only showed two of its members... Fail.
 * Oh boy, right off the bat, we get some major creepy factor.
 * Wow, Cinder meeting Emerald was more intense than what I thought. Only three minutes in and this has become the most interesting episode so far.
 * Cinder's and Em's weapons look different. Makes sense.
 * HOLY SHIT. Merc killed his dad, omgwtfbbq.
 * Also, his dad (Marcus Black) was an assasin? Geez, we really went dark!
 * Oh hey, Torchwick cameo.
 * WF Lt. cameo too. Neat.
 * And this is the triumphant return of Adam... in a flashback... yeah...
 * Oh look, Cinder doesn't have her tatoo... interesting?
 * So they show us the WF declining Cinder's proposal. I'd assume that they'll later show the WF changing their minds, but that'd be getting my hopes up.
 * Oh hey! Blake is in there. That helps to pinpoint the timeframe of this flashback.
 * One thing though. Why are we shown that Blake is in there if this is from the villains point of view? Does Cinder eavesdropped their exchange?
 * Oh hey! They have models for horses. That's cool, I guess.
 * Okay, if Emerald's semblance isn't illusions, I don't know what it is!.
 * Ironicly enough, this is the first time we see a "child" in the show. Props for that.
 * Oh look, it's Amber. What a surprise...
 * So Amber can control air AND fire?
 * WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? (reaction on seeing Merc's legs).
 * I did NOT see that coming. I'm pleasantly surprised!
 * AND LIGHTNING?! OAO
 * ... I give up. The Maidens are too OP.
 * Okay, Cinder's power over all things glass/obsiddian/whatever is her own.
 * Oh my god... I'm slightly disturbed right now.
 * Qrow to the rescue! Too late though.
 * Okay, they did show the WF changing their minds... after Cinder and Co. kicked their ass.
 * Forget it, we're back to the present, and we're still hanging from the cliff... Oh boy.
 * Hey, it's Neo. She's still not talking.
 * GAH! Lisa, what ever did they do to you?!
 * More cardboard cut-outs. Wonderful.
 * Okay, who voiced the new peopl... *spittake* LAURA BAILEY?!

Well... holy shit.
