My reaction in a nutshell. I mean, Wow. Just WOW.


 * I think Sun turned out a lot different then everyone expected. Turns out he's just a gold-hearted scoundrel (kind of a pirate, really) and not someone sinister. I actually wouldn't mind shipping him and Blake anymore.


 * Dear Lord... Penny. I can't even put that into words. It's just crazy. We know she's an Android, tho. Clears that up. Both she and Sun gained an exponential amount of respect points.


 * Gotta love Weiss. Even in a reconciliation moment, she stays in character.


 * Fight scenes are good, as always. I feel like this would have been a really good episode to introduce Adam, but alas, that was not the case. More on that later.


 * Roman is quite a bit more skilled than we originally thought. And he still keeps that sociopathic degree of cool as well. Plus.


 * Also, WF have thrown in with Roman (as many have expected), presumably at Cinder's behest. I have a gut feeling that puts them striking at Beacon as a more viable option. More on her later.


 * What's the deal with Penny leaving so soon? I'm sure the forums are going to be live about this. I have no idea... currently. I tend to wait before I form opinions.


 * On the origins of White Fang: Blake hints she might as well have been born into it, implying that she was an orphan. Once again, I think that would have been a really good time to introduce or even reference Adam, but no dice. Although I think that might have been his silhouette at the end of that particular sequence.


 * Ozpin and Qrow in correspondence, cryptic messages on scrolls, possibly a reference to the Transient Princess (given the 'Queen' was mentioned)... way to totally screw with everyone, Monty (in your wisdom).


 * So.... It's finally out. The mysterious, fascinating, and elusive "Crimson" has finally been revealed. Her name is Cinder (I like Crimson better). She pretty much has Roman in her pocket (if not at gunpoint). And By the Old Gods and the New, she is scary. I love it.


 * Yet... for the few questions that her reveal raised, a whole slew of new ones arises. Who are her accomplices? What is she up to? What's her story? Or really, what  is she? Unless the whole 'burning eyes' thing is unique to her Aura, she is something a little more than human. Maybe of the same stock as Adam, if some theories have ground.

On the whole, Grit your Teeth and wait for Episode 17. There's no other way to put it.
