About Raven's motivations: There's also the possibility that Raven didn't help Yang because she couldn't, not because she didn't want to. I very much doubt Raven's sitting still. She may well have all of Salem's lot on her neck, and rescuing Yang from Neo was a bigger risk for her than one might imagine.

It's not like there's only two parties here - the good guys and the bad guys. Raven may well work against both Salem and the Powers That Be in Vale/Atlas/Mistral. Given that Qrow still talks to her, she can't be completely in Salem's camp. Maybe those opinions that Qrow doesn't necessarily agree with are that Humanity can use a bit of a culling of the weak, and a whole bunch of them dying will serve to give the strong a better chance.

I also would like to know where Salem's hatred of Humanity and Faunity comes from. Maybe we're going to get an "Are We The Bad Guys?" moment.

It seems to me that we're going to see Team RWBY growing, separately, until they come together again to fight the Forces of Evil(tm). Ruby is going to have to learn to use that silver-eyed-warrior power of hers. Weiss I think is going to turn more political, from that dress she's wearing. Blake will probably turn into a kick-assassassin. And Yang? I honestly don't know. There's got to be some kind of recovery arc for her. But whether she's going to go back to punching people with a brand new spanking arm, or whether she's going to re-invent herself as, oh, a technician, a pilot, a tank driver... Only the Gods know.
