-- Wish we could see more of Neo this season.

-- So, when did Merc get his robo legs? Was it before or after Cinder found him? I wasn't sure with the shot of his bloodied legs in the flashback.

-- I know everyone wants Emerald to be good, but she *was* a thief when Cinder found her and Cinder's the one who pulled her off the streets. Doesn't excuse the abusive behavior of Cinder, but I can see why Emerald sticks around. I think if she were ever to be turned good, it would only be because someone good rescued her or showed her some  kindness, contrasted against Cinder's cruelty. (Although, truthfully, I'd like for her to stay a baddie until the end. I like her, don't get me wrong, but I really hate the misguided-youth-turned-baddie-then-turns-good trope.) 1: I would like to see more of Raven, but I don't want to see Yang ostracized for good. If it's only temporary, I'd still feel sad for Yang.

2:  I want to see her beaten, but she's a well designed villain. Quite effective and annoying.

3: Neither am I.

4: She seems to desperately want a close connection with Cinder. For example, she was excited to see Cinder, she strted to see Cinder as an equal based on how Emerald spoke with her regarding Mercury before she slapped Emerald, and she still sticks around. Part of this is necessity, but seems to enjoy her work somewhat, and instance when she was excited to see Cinder was at least months afte meeting her. I honestly think she's a bad character with a few good qualities.
