I'm serious. I didn't watch it, but Eruption Fang's video came up in my feed, and it would seem him and all his fanboys are seething from last episode, and some of them made the mistake of trying to spoil the events of this episode in the comments and say the series has gone to shit.

Their fanaticism is honestly baffling.

I already think the unpleasable part of the FNDM complains so much it's better for me to ignore overtly negative assessments (EruptionFang, he started becoming so bitter and overtly analytical to the point of nitpicking in his RvB recaps that I just stay away; just the fact the latest video has "Rant" in the title shows he's applying it to RWBY too). But this moral positioning, that's a whole new level of negativity and annoyance. I've seen people defend Adam (while shipping him with either the girl he abused or the one he cut her arm off!), which is already questionable, yet saying he didn't deserve to die is downright supporting the villain! And demonizing the heroes by saying they deserve more blame than the crazy dumbass who both denied the group from leaving and decided to retaliate to a stolen ship with a freakin' mecha, that's not only sour, but idiotic. And don't get me started on the shipping.

The episode itself, at least it had the action and tension missing from the previous finale, while setting up lots to expect for in next volume. A great way to close a season that got the show back on track after going too depressing and then too uneventful. And of course, how awesome it is to get a Casey\Adrienne duet.
