 * Ruby nailed her response to Penny.  She said exactly the right thing.  Good for her!


 * Several people have mentioned Emerald as Cinder's daughter.  Monty said in some  interview (AfterBuzz I think) that Cinder is only in her early twenty's, which is supported by no one batting an eye when she infiltrated Beacon as a student (ages 17-21).  For Cinder to be Emerald's mother she'd have to be at least twenty-nine, and much more likely thirty-five to forty, which would make it impossible to pass as a student.  Dito for Neo being Cinder's kid.


 * Regarding Yang's semblance being OP.  Semblances still consume aura, shown when Ruby passed out for a second after trying to use her sembance while holding onto a much heavier then she looks Penny as well as Weiss nearly colapsing after spamming her sigils at the end of the fight with the Nevermore.  while Yang gets more kinetic energy to add to her attacks, she's still loosing aura, so it's still just as possible to wear her down as it is with anyone else, you just have to avoid her return strikes long enough, or have enough aura to tank her increasingly powerful blows.  (At least that's my take on it.  We didn't really get alot of detail on the mechanics of it.)


 * Yay for ship names!


 * Boo for overly forced exposition.
