Just saw the ep, and unfortunately MK decided to disappoint me out of nowhere by making Clover stupid for the sake of the plot.

He got his orders, ok. But he also had orders to arrest Tyrian. He also knows Qrow, that he's sane and not evil. He also knows that Tyrian is a psychotic serial killer who had just crashed the ship.

So he sees Tyrian fully free, and sees Qrow attack Tyrian. And he proceeds to attack Qrow and prevent him from even touching the crazy serial killer, all the while ignoring said crazy serial killer who helped Watts cause the current Mantle crisis.

But...WHY. Why is he attacking Qrow and ignoring Tyrian? He, the reasonable and understanding guy. Why are his priorities so fucking stupid? They could've just had him let Qrow and Tyrian duke it out before taking out the injured winner, but apparently that idea was too silly for our genius writers.

Its too fucking stupid and not even in-character. He just suddenly goes "Let's take out the sane brooding man while completely ignoring the crazy evil serial killer". --- That said, the rest of the ep wasn't any better so much as it wasn't any worse.

>Robyn is a jobber.

>The Ace Ops were fine for like half their fight. Then they were swiftly humilliated by a bunch of kids who never even finished their 1st year at Beacon and have years less experience. RWBY didn't even seem like they had a hard time dealing wth these so-called pros.

Marrow is the only one of them that I forgive. The good boy didn't even want to fight. Ironically, Weiss was seemingly trying to fucking murder him during that fight. I wish she did, would've been a more interesting outcome.

>Why the fuck does Nora know who Neopolitan is and what she looks like even with her change of clothes? She never even saw Neo, Yang didn't ever know her name, and Ruby never heard her full name, just "Neo". And Neo's abilities were different back at Beacon so she can't even guess through that.

>Oscar still trapped in the off-screen void. The writers just refuse to let us see anything happen to him.

The only good thing I can honestly say about this ep is that the fights were enjoyable and the song had a great guitar (didn't pay attention to the lyrics).
