I just want to start off by saying I loved this episode.

The shots, lighting, camera angles, and the eerie reoccurring theme in the background all paint a grim(m) tale of the farm. There was a certain tension in the air that was built up very well.

The downward spiral for Qrow is articulated well and makes sense as the Apathy quite literally suck the will to fight out of people. Had they stayed, his outcome would have been drinking himself to death I’m sure. His reaction to seeing them is also of interest. Has he seen them in his travels? Has Ozpin told him of them?

As for the Apathy. They’re a terrifying Grimm type. The effect they have on people is something out of nightmares. They make you let them kill you. The rapid decay of the group’s mental state makes one shudder to think of a horde of them going through a Kingdom like Vale without anyone contesting them.

I’m sure the surviving Apathy Grimm managed to escape out of the now open cellar door.

Overall just a really great episode.
