So here's my thoughts on the episode.

- They didn't need to reestablish Watts as an asshole...pretty sure we already knew that. Though, despite the burn against Cinder, I found it very ironic the first words out of her mouth after recovering her voice were "Shut. Up."

- So, I guess it really was a Grimm strangling Leo...I wasn't favoring the Grimm option, though if it was a Grimm, I guess I was in-tune with it being the Seer instead of something else.

- Tyrian's getting a new tail from Watts...considering Watts doesn't seem to know how Grimm work exactly (as shown by his reaction to the Seer), I'm sure we're all wagering it to be a mechanical prosthetic rather than a Grimm infusion.

- Tyrian's gonna die by Salem's hands next episode, I wager. Well, he won't be dead dead, he'll just be mostly dead. Don't need any Princess Bride to tell us that.

- Gravity Dust islands (which were really cool), and basically confirming the central lake is called "Lake Matsu" was nice. Nice little tidbit that Gravity Dust can cause turbuence for passing airships. It also seems like Mistral ships are much weaker than Atlesian ships, since just 3 Lancers were needed to take one down. Also...Lancers freak me out.

- Fight was decent...a few bits of animation I feel could've been a little smoother and some of the pacing could've been a little faster, (such as when Weiss first started shooting fireballs) but probably one of the more active fights, since every other fight in a vehicle for the most part has been a relatively stationary battle. I also think it's a neat contrast that Weiss had her transit battle on an airship, whereas Blake had a battle on an actual ship.

- Liked how Weiss used things other than just Ice Dust during the fight. Have we figured out how many of her types she used? I can confirm Wind, Fire, Cyan, and Gravity...but I'm not sure whether some of her light blue projectiles towards the beginning were from her Cyan Dust or from one of her other two types (Lightning isn't blue, but the sound was like a zap; Ice Dust doesn't really have trails, but we haven't seen her do Ice projectiles in Maya yet), since they had a different impact sound.

- Summon was badass...and also...an Olympic Diver? (Credit to SYUTK for pointing that out)

- That Weiss dab pisses me off a bit, but better now than later on to use it in a scene. She must've also really exhausted herself during the fight, since she spammed a bunch of glyphs, summoned, AND still managed to conjure 4 huge Gravity glyphs to try and slow the ship.

- Adam proves how much of a dick he is, and Hazel intrigues me even more. Unlike with Blake and many of the villains, I feel like Hazel's mysteriousness is much better played out. Also, geezus he's huge...he's more than a head taller than Adam when they were basically standing next to each other!

- Sienna's opportunity to be an interesting and dynamic character with the White Fang as they had set her up to be was immediately ruined by Adam...he must've moved on from Blake enough to harm other kitties. His new outfit is nice though, especially for the cosplayers with his copious amounts of zippers. Also, RT is apparently not super shy with the blood now, but I feel like given he stabbed a woman cleanly through, there should've been more blood on the scene...and on his weapon.

- "Nobody had to die today." Still get chills from that line. I feel like that should be Hazel's main quote feature on his page. That, or his "You don't like me. But you don't have to like me to get the results you want."
