 * I love how Nora was surprised at seeing Raven transform. She needs more serious moments, since her funny moments aren't always funny. They try to be funny, but usually fail.
 * I don't hate Lionheart as much as everyone else, though I agree he still should die.
 * This episode spent too much time talking and awkward space between actions. I suppose I can excuse the talking because the exchanges between characters who have never interacted before is very interesting, but the weird spacing? What the fuck? If they keep wasting precious time like that they'll have to rush the final three episodes of this volume, like how they rushed volume 4. And I like silence when it builds suspense or shows how serious a situation is, but here it's of no use.
 * I don't hate all the villains as much as anyone else, though I can understand why everyone else does. I just find these people too interesting as characters. I hope at least Raven and Lionheart last a good while more, but not Cinder because I'm getting bored of seeing her (even if she is hot).
 * I wish Nora and Ren had more reaction to Pyrrha's death. Jaune was closer to Pyrrha, but still. I guess it could be justified that Ren can keep some of his trauma under control, but Nora? She's too emotional to not react to shit like this. It'd give her more character.
 * I like all the fight scenes that were shown in this episode, especially the fact that they were all separate (for the most part). Again, really cool exchanges shown between characters. If only there was more fighting and less empty silence.
 * Ruby's silver eyes moment gave me fucking chills. The short flashback was a very good choice.
 * Seeing some of the fights shown in the opening was really cool here. I heard that anime usually has openings with events that look cool, but don't actually happen in the story.
 * When Weiss got stabbed I almost laughed. She'll be fine. She's a protagonist. What were the writers thinking?

All of this is pretty cool ideas and plot lines and characters and all that shit, but I wish some people with more talent and writing than Miles, Kerry and whoever was doing this.
