it's side info, so they might try to include it, but it'd still end up either wasting time or left on the cutting room floor. Look, in Volume 5 we got 2/3s of a season's worth of sitting and talking. Mostly about stuff that did not move the plot or was even necesary, like Ruby asking Ozpin if his cane is a Relic, which is so stupid and unnecesary it's literally there just to shut up the kids who insisted it was.

So, let's say they do it again. Scenes where the plot isn't moving forward, people are just talking. In that case, have those scenes focus on giving depth and/or development to the characters, including Nora.

Boom. The main plot didn't need to change, even RT's MO doesn't need to change, and Nora (and others) can get development that way. Not so hard. … This was all in response to

Would they have really needed to depart from the plot to follow Nora on some side story to give her character? I'm not saying they can't add it, but it'll be side story by definition, not main plot.
