Well, let's break down initial reactions.

- Glynda has a VERY sharp tongue, and will not wait for the fifteen year old to get very far before trying to drop expletives. General Ironwood appears to have strategic difficulties created through frustration. And, as always, Ozpin's ideals prevail.

- Zwei? Oh, come ON Taiyang. You work in a school. You know that there's missions going on. So you send your dog to your daughters who are about to go on a mission. Brilliant parenting, that.

- Blake does not like Zwei. Weiss and Ruby both love Zwei. Yang... her reaction didn't seem all that emotive, to be honest. Surprise, sure. Any emotional reaction to him? Not so much.

- I get the feeling, since we know this is likely the final arc for the season, that if Qrow does show up, he's dealing with the mission BELOW the one they tried to grab. I'm not entirely sure I read it correctly, but when viewed from behind, it says Sector 5, same sort of mission. So, it's quite possible that Qrow will still appear this arc, and repeat his heroics from Yang's flashback. Plus, make his debut. It'd be interesting to see Qrow work alongside Team JNPR or CRDL, although moreso JNPR. I personally think Glynda would take CRDL herself, due to their deficiencies in combat. Team RWBY is highly skilled, and Ozpin is aware of that. Team JNPR is a mixture of power and speed, but they aren't quite as combat proficient as RWBY, mostly due to Jaune's lacking nature. It's not that he CAN'T fight, as his sparring with Pyrrha showed, but he's inexperienced. Again, I mirror the calls for them to work alongside Ozpin or Qrow. It'd be hilarious if Jaune makes a slip and mentions Ruby or Yang around him... the interrogative, protective uncle comes to the fore, rather than the hunter.

- So the girls either dumped the pieces of robot in Junior's club, or they recruited Junior to clean up the mess. Something doesn't sit right with me on that, but oh well...

- They're sending students on a mission which is deemed too dangerous for first-year students. Now, judging by that, wouldn't a smarter option for a Hunter mentor be one regularly in combat? Glynda is the combat instructor, and as we know, a combat expert. Ozpin is clearly stronger than he lets on, and we know Taiyang was called away from Signal, so we can assume that Qrow is also gone, or he would have left Zwei with him. (Assumingly, at least). Hell, even Port may have been a logical choice, as he's the Grimm Studies teacher. Instead, we get the Kakashi reaction of disbelief and shock, because they got Oobleck. Now, I would understand if this was a call from elsewhere in RT, in order to keep Joel busy(-er) and out of the way while RvB finishes up. Two notes on this itself.

*We will finally get to see Oobleck's weapon. Sure, it's not as desired as Ozpin's, but it's something at least. *Clearly, we're underestimating Oobleck, if he's been assigned to this mission even with a team of first-year students.
