very mixed episode.

1. Raven read too much Ayn Rand. An ideology for edgy 17 years fits perfectly with her character and especially appearance.

2. Why did Ozpin have to talk to Qrow?

So Qrow can tell him that all the huntsmen are dead? That doesn't make any sense and it didn't need to happen. wtf. There could have been a lot more condensed version where Ruby just walks up to Oscar and asks him about the Beacon relic. Remember, Oscar has all the memories that Ozpin has. We know this from when Oscar described the tea set at Haven. Very convoluted scene.

3. The kali fight scene doesn't even count as a fight it was so crappy.

4. The beginning of the Blake vs Illia is mediocre. After that, I loved the stealth portion. But then Illia stands stock still as Blake jumps down on top of her. She doesn't even try to dodge. That was stupid. Blake does a few smart moves this fight.

5. Ghira does get one of the fox's weapons but then throws it aside. No, you idiot! Use the dagger!

Or at least throw it at someone.

6. Ghira punching the fox's fists are entirely unrealistic and uncool.. What would have been better is if Ghira was left handed and the fox was right handed. They both punch and Ghira's punch breaks the fox's arm.

6. Sun vs Illia is fine but kinda short. Gun chucks are plus.

7. The ending is kinda cheesy and I disagree with the direction they what they took with Illia. Her change happened way to fast. After Illia takes out the last fox, she should run back to Adam to spy on him. Then, she is a massive asset for good and MK could toy with the idea of Illia falling back into Adam's world view without Blake there.

Having Illia join up with Blake + Sun + the militia steals all her development away.

8. Sun poking Illia is hilarious.

9. Ship captain?!!!?!?! What?! How do you know where he is? The CCT is down! How is he still in Menagerie? WHAT!? How are you going to contact him???!!! I hate that last line SOOOO much.

If it wasn't for the last line, the cheesy ending, Kali's crappy fight, and the convoluted/bloated Oscar + Qrow scene then this would have been a great episode. This was a mediocre episode.
