Okay, so time for the two cents.

-CRWBY, you are not Marvel. Don’t try to be something you’re not.

-So Robyn’s got people keeping an eye on Ironwood.

-Ruby represents us when she wants to see Atlas, and her teammates are the writers justifying why not.

-Well Ace ops never heard of WAFFLEO. I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, I understand that they’re setting up a philosophy difference, not to mention making the idea that there’s a traitor more plausible. But from every account of a military unit I’ve ever read or seen, there’s always a camaraderie, or bond that develops. But this isn’t the first time the writers were not a 100% squared away on military things. (Still have a peeve over calling Mantas fighters. They’re not.) Also, with that outlook, I think the Clover and Qrow ship took a hit.

-Hey Glitchee123z, remember how we were talking about how sloppy Tyrian was with letting cameras see blood? Ironwood has indeed noticed. For that part of the nefarious plans, letting the press confirm three murders with a pattern your enemies can clue in on is just plain careless and can endanger the operation as it already is.

-Bold move talking back Jaune.

-At this point, Marrow is probably the most trustworthy, unless the writers pull a Professor Quirell.

-Jacques, the mind is abandoned you entitled *censored*.

-While I appreciate Weiss talking back with Ironwood and RWBY backing her up, part of me wondered where JNR was. They’re friends of hers too right?

-Yeah, Weiss, it’s a trap. True or not, don’t go for it, it’s a trap. Pretty sure Klein or Winter could have reassured your mom or allowed your mom to see you. Though it’s nice to know that Weiss obviously cares about her mother.

-Considering what they’ve been through, they all have earned that promotion. But once again, I feel bad for Ironwood. He’s doing so much to earn their trust, but it has to go both ways.

-Good talk between Qrow and Ruby, but Ruby is right to question her actions so far. Yes, Ruby has a different method or philosophy, but still withholding info same as Oz. The promise was zero secrets after all. At least she’s getting perspective. As for Summer, I feel like there was a “Shut up” moment to those insisting it was Oz’s fault.

-Okay, are we ever going to stop with making Jaune comic relief, even now that he’s a licensed Hunter? And I feel that this seemingly easy detail will turn out to be hard one. That’s how most writing is when they say the missions easy.

-The two mustache twirling villains know each other. Why didn’t I notice earlier? Some have also suggested he might be related to Jacques. He did marry into the family after all.

-Hacker offers to cripple billionaires electoral opponents with damaging info..... oh so that’s the parallels I heard of. Also ironic and showing Jacques to be the fool for once. Why? He doesn’t know it, but he’s throwing in with the crew that’s responsible for his current business problems in the first place, and I would have thought he’d be more suspicious.
