I don't know about you but I am paying very close attention to the the countdown clock and to ever bit of information RT can give me. The character short was good. The Q and A was pretty average as far as Q and As go. We are hungry for more.

So ask yourself this question. How good does the premiere have to be for me to not be disappointed? Everybody has standards and I want to hear yours before going into it. Upon self reflection, I have discovered that unless there are

1. large action set pieces

2. Introduction of central conflict or theme

3. beginning of a larger narrative (related to 2)

4. update on RWBY+JNR after 6-8 months

5.  Updates on key villians (unless their wereabouts and current pychology would spoil future events)

6. Context for the events of the previous volume or at least an aknowledgement of it

7. Flashback to Pyrrha's funeral or at least aknowledgement that she died (goes hand in hand with 6)

8. must be interesting and suspenseful

9. a special/memorable moment.

Now I look and I see that these are some really lofty goals for a 45 minute episode and that nomatter what I see on October 22nd, I will be diappointed. Feel free to post your expectations for the new season (even if they are unreasonably like mine.)
