Well that was fun....still no idea why Qrow didn't just say he chose to be turned into a bird right after the cat was out of the bag...oh wait that might have made the episode 10 minutes shorter. Well, that's an exaggeration, considering the episode is 12 minutes long and the stuff about bird transformations didn't come up until 6ish minutes in.

1. Weird Yang's arm has a Rocket Application/Jettison Function. How is that practical?

2. Finally Mercury and Emerald take center stage again, and they got their lines! And Shitty McDouche Bandit is going to be trashed again. (Checks Credits) His name is Shay D. Mann?! What the hell RT?! Could you be anymore obvious?!

3. Maiden powers unlock Relics. By Proxy, Ozpin's powers unlock Relics.

4. So with all this, this means that somehow after leaving the Relics, Salem showed up, and the Gods made Ozpin try to stop her. He failed so he was cursed with reincarnation. In one of his incarnations, he split his power upon 4 maidens, then in another Reincarnation, the King of Vale built the academies to hide the Relics. At some point during all this, he formed the Ozluminati for several generations in hopes of hiding the Maidens, and then became the Ozpin we know. He then brought STRQ into his circle, then turned the Branwen's into birds (Dude's got a sense of humor, making them into their namesakes).

5. how was he defending the Relics then before hand? 1. I don't think it does. I'm pretty sure she shot Nora, which blasted Nora back, but Nora was still holding onto her hand tightly enough to pull her arm with her.

2. Hecks yeah, and Cinder gets to do stuff! Also, really? Huh. Before, he was credited as "Shady Man". I guess they decided to give him a name-name and couldn't think of anything good.

3. Nononono, they don't unlock the Relics, they unlock the vaults that contain the Relics. Though, as I continue to read, I see that you get that. Sorry. It's just that some people are confused and think that the Maidens are the only ones who can use the Relics, rather than being the only ones who can unlock the vaults containing the Relics.

4. Yep yep yep, pretty much. Neat that we're getting more of Ozpin's history.

5. Hmm. If he had them all with him, he would've had the power to change the world, so it wouldn't make sense that he still hasn't defeated Salem. Though, I still think he at least had the Relic of Destruction with him during the Great War and that's how he was so destructive during the final battle.

The episode felt real slow and pointless. The point was to have a nice entertaining character moment between friends who've been apart for months, then finally confirm theories that people have been debating about, then have Yang declare that Ozpin needs to stop lying and keeping secrets, and of course, set up Cinder's group getting to the Branwen camp.
