1. Did we need awkward beef between Sun and Ghira? What is this a sitcom?

2. Why wasn't the conversation with Raven and Qrow longer? So much time waiting for this character and she pops up and vanishes just as quick. Just like Adam.

3. Why hasn't Yang left to meet up with anyone? Why not train with her on the way somewhere? She's been away from all conflict for too long. If nothing else go help with the Vale Relief Effort.

4. If Beacon being destroyed is like your home town burned down at the start of an RPG, then why are some many cast members not constantly checking on it on their Scrolls for any info of if they need help. 1. Characters interacting with each other is an important part of a story. They established for us how Ghira and Kali feel about Blake and Sun. Character relationships are important.

2. It lasted for a few minutes, like every scene in RWBY. Each episode is only 12-17 minutes long, so there's only so much they can do with each scene. It's not like a TV show where every episode is 22 or 44 minutes long. And in a webshow where each episode is 12-17 minutes, having a scene go on for a really long while when it's literally just two characters sitting at a table talking to each other can make it feel like it's dragging on.

We're lucky they fit a bunch of info into that brief conversation. The info that convo gave us:


 * Raven somehow knows Yang lost her arm, Qrow's angry that she doesn't seem to care.
 * Raven, indeed, only saved Yang once - on the train in No Brakes. She did not save her from Adam. Sorry, Raven apologists. Your theory was wrong.
 * Raven somehow knew that Beacon would fall and Ozpin would fail. How?! What is up with these twins?!
 * Raven knows about Salem.
 * Qrow and Raven know about the relic and know that Salem is after it.
 * Qrow and Raven were raised by a tribe of bandits.
 * Qrow left said bandits and never returned because they're killers and thieves.
 * Raven considers the bandits to be her family and is now the leader of their tribe.
 * Raven's bandit tribe are the ones who attacked Shion.
 * Raven has someone extra powerful on her side.
 * Qrow is looking for the Spring Maiden.

3. How do you know that Yang and Tai are staying at home to train? I mean, they probably are, but the episode didn't show us that for sure. Besides, she's been sitting around getting rusty for 6-8 months. Best to shape up a bit and get used to the arm before leaving.

4. "why are some many cast members not constantly checking on it on their Scrolls for any info" ... Because they literally can't. The CCT is still down. They can only see local news in whatever area they're in. They can only have calls with people who are in the same area as them. There is literally no possible way for anyone other than Yang and Tai to keep up with news about Beacon, and we saw Yang keeping up with news about Vale and Beacon.
