''fatmanfalling style satire. Not a personal attack''.

Hello everybody!

Okay, so it's interesting to see a lighter form of punishment, and how they try and explain some of Emerald's hallucinations as a form of adrenaline or PTSD.

I also like how Blake brings up a good point; she has seen Adam's development into a monster, and doesn't want Yang to do the same. So I don't understand how all of a sudden that automatically makes Blake the villain when she brings up a good point - especially when she told the story about Adam the night before the train took off.

I would like to point out that the amount of comedy put on JNPR in this scene takes away any dramatic tension from before. It's like they did a complete 180 before going back to Yang.

Well, Raven being Yang's mom is another in a list of the things that can be easily guessed by anyone in the show. That being said, I'm intrigued as to know which side she is on. And I hope they keep their promise that Raven will save Yang as little as possible.

I want to know why Pyrrha describes her situation as cryptic as possible. Seriously. A straightforward hint can help. And while I can understand the sorrow behind the act of shoving Jaune up a wall, it shouldn't be that big of a deal because he has his plentiful Aura to protect him.

Now we get to the tournament. Ruby noticing Emerald in the seats is another thing that is probably cliché and contrived. Seriously, there have been several times this happens in other shows.

And it's the second time it happened in RWBY: Roman's plan is discovered because Ruby got curious after Zwei took a leak, a major coincidence created just to move the plot along.

Also, Emerald could be sitting in another seat, so this shouldn't even happen. Also, assuming the rumor went around everyone else, how is it possible that Emerald, known to the audience, is able to try and blend in without drawing suspicion about her appearance and the rumor itself?

And then we have the biggest gripe of them all: Mercury popping up in front of Ruby in the maintenance hall (another cliché seen in media). Just last episode, Mercury had been told to stay put, but he shows up here now!? This is going to completely screw up their plans. And it's hard to dispel a rumor that Mercury went back to Haven.

Even if Emerald could make a Semblance at this range, why should it have to be Mercury? Why not Cinder in a mask? And when Mercury just nonchalantly sits there and boasts of the matchup, why does he not fabricate a lie regarding his legs? Why should he and his team take so many risks in order to try and rig the matchup and silence Ruby?

Thoughts?
