User blog:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "Lessons Learned" (Vol3.Ep4)

After yet another hiatus from the RWBY main storyline, we get a new chapter. Let's get started.


 * I'll have to confess right off the bat, that I don't like this opening very much. In my opinion, it is trying too hard to be darker than the other openings.
 * Not to mention, I've never liked songs that alternate between fast and mid-slow singing. I don't outright hate "When it Falls", but it's definitely not in my top 10.
 * I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate the RT videoplayer.
 * Velvet has a speaking line, yay!
 * Four biomes this time? About time.
 * Hey guys, did you know that Coco loves fashion?
 * WHOAH! Yatsuhachi can talk! He's not a golem!
 * That banter wasn't creepy at all.
 * I mentally groaned at Coco's fans.
 * Em and Merc do like to act creepy, don't they?
 * EPIC BREAKDANCE STORM!
 * "Get over here!"
 * Yatsu's delivery of "Coco!" was hilarious. But I still ship him with Velvet.
 * Oooooooh. Emerald broke Coco's shades. Yeh, she ded.
 * Holy... can Emerald... no... what was the "other Yatsu" thing? (I'm befuddled by this).
 * And Coco is losing her cool... this is not good.
 * And CY are knocked out. Velvet is understandably concerned and HOLY CRAP FOX! You got messed up big time.
 * Awww, Weiss and Winter are bonding over.
 * "Summoning"? Now that's intriguing. And more now, seeing that Weiss still doesn't masters THAT skill.
 * Okay, so Schnees all have the same semblance. It's confirmed.
 * OKAY! Summoning is kinda scary, actually. WTF!
 * AH! Jesus Ruby, what the hell?!
 * Videogames confirmed.
 * Um, wouldn't the light from the window mess up with the hologram? I mean, Holograms are super-advanced in Remnant, but photoms still should act like photoms. Am I overthinking?
 * "Yang's booty attack FTW!" XD
 * Uncle Qrow tells gives exposition of his last mission and... Qrow, you do know you don't come as incospicuous with a BFS slung over your shoulder, don't you?
 * Wow, Qrow is actually an excellent storyteller.
 * Discount anime perv character XD
 * Yang doesn't approve of Qrow's trolling/perviness.
 * Awkward laughing is awkward...
 * Qrow doesn't like being called old. *Tsk* One reality check coming right up.
 * Okay, so the calling out for RWBY's mess up arrived, for those of us who didn't like V2's finale.
 * Okay, so Qrow realizes they're in the "eye of the storm." Criminal Inactivity is not a reason to put your guard down. And with Ironwood's fleet watching over Vale, they're ignoring what's between the cracks. This is concerning.
 * Team STRQ (Stark) confirmed. Nice.
 * Sad Yang is Sad.
 * Qrow apparently met the girls parents when the team was formed. So... does that mean he didn't knew Raven? (I may have misheard it).
 * Uncle Qrow wants Ruby and Yang to know that one never stops learning, and that is an amazing advice. Hidden Approved.
 * Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh! They dropped that phrase! The feels man! TT^TT
 * GAH! Wormy-worm. I didn't expect that.
 * Weiss practices summoning with Winter's... "help."
 * Ouch! "As a receptionist"? That's cold, Winter. No pun intended.
 * So Papa-Schnee cut Weiss off because he's butthurt she doesn't talk to him? Gee, and forcing her to demand him to stop that is a better alternative?
 * Okay, I take it back, Winter ain't a b**ch. Strict and unlenient? Yes. But she honestly cares about Weiss' well being.
 * Oh hey, a second part to "Mirror, Mirror." That's interesting.
 * Aaaaand taking Winter's advice is gonna bite Weiss in the behind even harder. I just have that feeling.
 * Joe Macdonald (pretty sure that's mispelled) voices Yatsuhachi. No idea who that is.

And that does it for this episode. I really enjoyed it, even if the story didn't move forward very much.
