Indeed the opening scene was among my favourite aswell. No pandering about waiting for information like names and plans - we know what the bad guys want and we have a basic insight into their respective personalities. We have a dynamic now with Cinder, which could lead to some possible interesting character development. Cinder sought to be strong, powerful and feared, and even after achieving her goals of obtaining the maiden's power she has been robbed of all three; crippled, helpless and without the respect of her peers.

A like how a point was made regarding Emerald and Mercury realizing how out of their depth they were. Gazing over the hellscape, Mercury watched with disgust and Emerald with straight up terror. I like how they're still a duo; very much playing off each other and I'm looking forward to seeing their development as well - whether or not they will make an escape from Salem's faction or whether they will be too reluctant to leave Cinder. Kinda dissappointed they didn't get timeskip outfits though.
