Yeah, pretty much. That's why it's a bad idea to skip anything in this show because you never know if what you skipped will be important.

Honestly, RWBY requires the commitment to watch the full episodes and actually pay attention to them in order to be on the same page as the show and really understand what the hell is going on. If you don't have the attention span to watch a 12 to 18 minute video, then I really don't know what to tell you, other than either A.) The show is not your cup of tea because you really can't get into it enough to care, or B.) You should probably see a doctor about whether or not you have a severe enough case of ADD to warrant medication.

Like... if you were watching Dread in the Air and then got bored by Adam and Sienna talking back and forth to each other and decided to just skip directly to the next scene, you would miss the fact that Adam murdered Sienna in that scene and that Hazel had no idea that Adam was planning to do that, was upset with Adam for not telling him, and seemed sad and felt that Sienna's death was unnecessary. Then, later, in Necessary Sacrifice, if you actually sat through the scene with the Albains talking to Ilia, you would be like "Oh, Adam already killed Sienna? What?" and would still not knowing about Hazel's side of things nor Hazel's reaction to her death (the important thing about his reaction is that it says something about him as a character).
