V5 should have been cut along the same lines as V2, ending with the set-up to the battle of Haven, add in another Vernal training fight, another Yang or RNJR training or Grimm fight, then extend the Blake's family home fight to be actually connected with a true sense of choreography, allow the Battle of haven the same treatment next season and you once again could have what happened extending all the way to V6 episode 6-9ish(getting to 9 could require things like actually showing in a flashback Leo's actually compelling motivations and showing Salem killing him, showing Adam not go down immediately like a chump, etc). What should  have been done is not a compelling argument for how they can stretch something out when it's clear they didn't give a fuck about Mistral on any level. It's part of the reason the finale was almost on the level of Breach. There were no real stakes at this point. They injured someone we knew they weren't going to kill off for cheap points from the dumber side of the fanbase (because seriously if you actually thought Weiss was in any danger you are a fucking idiot), didn't give us any reason to care about Mistral because we saw like 1% of it, and half the people we actually met were assholes.

No thought went into the city itself either. This famed city of culture was just Not-Japan. Not even Not-Asia, just Not-Japan. This has to be one of those cases of M&K thinking they did much more than they actually did, like the fact that they think they handled Ilia well this season.
