In one clip, when she had hooked the Beowolf over the neck, it looked like she was taking a few seconds to verify if she had actually caught the beast ,or if she had hit something else.

Now I can officially say this idea was very wrong. Though it would have been cool had this been the case. Not often do you see a blind character as the protagonist. This probably belongs on the "Episodes" thread but whatever.

That just made me think of something. What if there was an episode where one of the characters was forced to fight blind for some reason; perhaps they were fighting invisible enemies, so they had to consciously block out their sight in order to use their other senses? That would be a really good premise for character development, especially with Ruby or Yang. What if it was someone who really relied on their eyes to fight? Like Pyrrha who has to see where she's aiming. If Pyrrha is as much of a prodigy as Weiss made her out to be, she probably already knows how to fight blind, to some degree.

Then again, maybe not. Maybe Pyrrha's single weak point is that she's totally helpless without the use of her eyes. We just don't know enough about her yet.

Grit your teeth and wait for Thursday.
