I made a post on the forums about this. I'll repost here anyways.
 * The ruins next to temple are from "ancient" humans that lived before. The reasoning that Miles gave was slightly wierd. Apparently in a world filled with monsters, the humans built the city against a cliff and backed themselves up against a wall and built bridges to keep the Grimm at bay.
 * Blake's semblance is that "after-image" effect. Monty and crew keep referring to "shadows."
 * Oobleck's weapon is going to be awesome, whatever it is. I'm pretty sure that we can say it's going to be something involving the coffee mug or flask. Whatever it is, it's also quite impractical as Kerry said something along the lines of "If you thought Port's weapon was bad, just wait...."
 * Dust is closely related to technology. Monty mentioned "a conduit for themselves" as in a conduit for their self.
 * Weiss' way of using Dust is more direct (Miles calls it "educated") while Ruby's way of using it is more simple. She "goes out and buys bullets that have different kinds of Dust in them" and then I heard something about the "gravity round" which might reference the "Cross Magazine" that we saw in the Red Trailer.
 * Ren was loading Schnee Dust Rounds into his guns.
 * Originally the name of the planet was Vytal but they changed it to Remnant.
