Just finished the secon viewing.

1. Ren runs towards the city looking for survivors. He should have known that there woundn't be any. Unless, he was very young when it happened. Poor Ren was orphaned before he understood where he was born. Sad.

2. Wiess' outburst is exactly like that of Sasha in "The Walking Dead" during S5. While blatantly copying other works is frowned upon, I liked Sasha's arc. If they are going to keep copy/pasting then Wiess is going to start breaking out of Jacques cage to going outside of Atlas' defenses to fight Grimm because that is more in line with reality than the fakeness of Atlas' upperclass.

3. Jacques and his friend talk about Faunus Rights from a philosophical view. They argue points and counterpoints and forget that people's livelyhoods are at stake. This is the disconnect between the armchair philosophers (Jacques) and the frontline pragmatists (Adam).

3.1.  Somebody like Wiess or Blake are going to be the middleground/compromise between these two factions.

3.2  Jacques also doesn't clap for Wiess. He favorite character right now.

4. One particular Grimm attacked Oniyuri. This Grimm takes care not to harm buildings (since they are all standing up) and instead targets people. It also has claws.

5. Ren has a radar semblence.

6. Tyrian is a bit of a showman, taking a bow after he puts down Nora and before he takes off his cloak. He is also able to completely toy with the kids. Props.

7. Qrow can shapeshift.

8.  Juane is a special snowflake.

Overall, this was a good episode with extra props to the cinimetrography. I was definitely happy to see Tyrian kick RNJR into the dirt. RNR really couldn't watch Juane's blind spots and carry his wieght because they were up to their neck is Tyrian.

However, I didn't feel any tension whatsoever when the boartusk was charging that lady. I don't know why and if somebody could explain why, that would be great. I did feel tension during the Tyrian fight though. Tyrian was going for the killing blows and if the fight would have continued RNJR wouldn't have had enough aura to win.
