If they gave us any lead, ANY lead, we would be able to deduce it before the episode aired. At least this way the impact and surprise is maintained somewhat. It's not that we're "way too smart", it's just that Miles and Kerry are too obvious or blunt with hints nearly all the time. For example:

-Blake is a cat: The moment her ears twitched and even before then the moment RLR called her a beast everyone knew she was a Faunus.

-Penny being a robot: Guessed right from the get-go. Her animations seemed uncanny even compared to everyone else's outside combat. Plus her swords coming out of her back right in front of the camera.

They need to learn how to make Foreshadowing or give "Hints" in a way that makes them clear, yet not so obvious everyone guesses them the moment they appear. OR, we need to learn to chill out and not care about percieved mary/canon sues. I don't care, and as such I am enjoying RWBY as opposed to being a jaded cynic who thinks everyone is an idiot for not taking up arms against bad but ultimately harmless writing. I for one am willing to let it go, I don't expect the writers to change on our account, because we didn't like something that is ultimately minor in practice. Now if it was something that got in the way of the story (ae: Jaune's story arc, short episodes, etc.) we can let them know, but ultimately this is just a small irk in the grand scheme of things.
