Ever since it was revealed that Ozpin reincarnates, I also called the conversation between Salem and Cinder into question. It makes no sense. Salem knows that Ozpin can reincarnate. So, the fact that she was so pressed at Cinder for killing the current host of Ozpin is perplexing. The fact that Ozpin dying was even brought up is invalidated because him dying does not matter if he can reincarnate. If Salem wanted him dead for the sake of time, then I believe she would have mentioned it. Or, maybe she thought that a Maiden would be able to kill Ozpin since it's technically his own power being used against him. I don't know. What I do know is that conversation in retrospect seems pointless.

To answer someone's question about why there wasn't any teamwork. If you recall, Ruby did try to help Jaune. But, she was stopped by Emerald. Yang tried to help Ruby, but she was stopped by Mercury. Weiss stood there, but I'm sure had she moved she would have been blocked by Vernal, anyway. Ren and Nora are really the only people who could have actually assisted one of their teammates. Atterall, Hazel doesn't strike me as the running and jump into a fight kind of guy...unless it pertains to Ozpin.
