I enjoyed this episode and I think that Monty would have too. It was as hyper-kinetic as he would have loved it. Yes, there was a certain degree of low comedy and some characters (Jaune, Sun and Neptune, I'm looking at you) juggling the idiot ball. However, you would expect them to be butt-monkeys, wouldn't you? Meanwhile, Nora has proven that she has her own OP mode to match Ruby's. You have to wonder just what the upper power level of Semblance might be given that Ruby was able to create a huge concussive air current last volume and Nora was able to control a thunderstorm in this episode!

Some shipping was gently emphasised (even if the characters in question were hardly in full 'dashing' mode). Indeed, I suspect that Neptune may have put a torpedo into the Weiss x Neptune ship with his flirting with the ladies of Team Indigo. It was also cute how it's obvious that Sun may be a dork, but he's Blake's dork and she loves him for it!

I also liked the two adversary teams. Given that we are unlikely to see any of them again, the team did an excellent job in giving them personalities and unique combat skills.

Aaannnd... characterisation! Qrow is a drunk; which might be understandable, given his possible/likely past. His twin sister is a renegade, his male best friend had a breakdown because his female best friend died horribly in the line of duty.

Finally, I'm assuming that Weiss thinks that her father is aboard that stylish VTOL with the blue pennant flying on it but I susepct that it is Winter. Something tells me that next week will see the sailing of a new ship, mostly thanks to Winter and Qrow's UST.
