 * 1) That really awesome entrance from the opening didn't occur. Neither did the duels between Yang and Mercury, Weiss and Emerald, Blake and Roman and Ruby and Cinder.
 * 2) The battle had no real lasting repercussions.
 * 3) The Council. All that's needed is an "Ah Yes, Reapers" moment.
 * 4) A single member of Team CFVY does what the entirety of team's JNPR and RWBY could not do.
 * 5) The episode should have been a grand finish to a volume that was building things up to a crescendo.
 * 1) I agree I was hoping to see that four team landing, but I felt a modicum of satisfaction at seeing CFVY arrive via bullhead and "drop in". And, at least we got to see Emerald fight. Some might wonder why Cinder didn't do anything. But recall she's wearing the same dress now she was wearing in the pilot episode. She knows that either Ruby or Glynda will definitely recognize her, so instead she falls back to the shadows.
 * 2) By Reapers, do you mean "Reavers"? (Firefly reference)
 * 3) Back when the RT crew were suggesting this season would expand into a third volume, I was fully expecting this battle to be a cliffhanger, but it seems either they've decided not to do a third volume and simply move on to a second season, or they decided to use Raven and Yang's confrontation as the cliffhanger.
 * 4) I agree this past episode felt flat compared to what the build up led us all to expect. Of course, the battle went to show that Ozpin is better prepared than one might have initially thought, Ironwood's military presence in Vale is more prevalent than previously revealed, and, most of all, that team CFVY as "not first-years" own the scene like squad captains on BLEACH.
