But that doesn't mean RT's writing staff should just sweep details like their deaths or arrests under the table. A lot of things can lead to a domino effect that will reveal a series of plot holes. One of the most crucial of those things, being lazy writing or in some cases, lazy animation. Like what I said about about Em making an illusion of Ruby but the illusion is Ruby after the 6 months time skip. Even though none of the Cinder trio has been said to have seen her, not even on TV or camera. Anyone could blow that off as no big deal and shrug it as a time saver. But it's not professional. This show may be a web series but it doesn't have to cut corners. That's the point I've been making for a year now. It's doesn't have to be "JUST" a webseries. It can be more.

Who says it can't have world-class masterpiece TWD or Daredevil level writing? Who says every plot device or character death or motive can't or shouldn't be explained. We shouldn't have to do speculations and guess work (guessimations, educated guess) to make a plot work. Some say we don't know that much about Cinder and Salem's motives and personality and orientations because the first 3 seasons were prologue. But what's to stop the writers from pulling that same logic years from now? We still don't even fully understand the minions much less the boss villains. We still have to guess about even the simplier hero characters.

Didn't someone say the main creators were done with Red vs. Blue that Halo-ish other series? And that that meant the writing and quality of the episodes would skyrocket? Is that still true? Because if so I look forward to every episodes being as exciting as Qrow vs. Tyrian of Season 4 or at least as dire are the all villain episode of Season 3. I loved fight scenes, no secret there. But even remove all the fights from most of the season, if they can't keep me on the edge of my seat every episode with mysteries being solved instead of just "leaving them to our imagination" or introducing more enigmas without covering past bases then.... Well...

Long story short, as always I'm a fan of the show. But like all shows I love, from 90s X-Men to FMA to Iron Fist. It would be wrong of me as a writer and fan to look the other way as a show make what seem like the same mistakes shows like LOST made. You don't leave the majority of your plot to speculation and try to explain everything multiples seasons later. By then the majority of the audience either doesn't care or forgot or stopped watching.
