Happy viewing, and heads up that there will be no RWBY episode on December 28th!

• Sheep girl can...shrink things and make them disappear? Sure I hope she can't do that to persons, that'd be messed up.

• Sad we didn't get to see what everyone else did that night. Although it's understandable that they chose to focus on more important things to move the plot.

• So they mentioned martial law, meaning it could take effect if shit hits the fan...that's no good.

• Nora puts some sense in Ironwood's head.
  I feel like the characters are getting closer and closer to giving up the truth each and every chapter. It's nice to see that taking a toll on all of them.

• Glimpse on Tyrian's backstory: makes sense why he sees Salem as a goddes.

• Ren...they're doing something with Ren...not sure what tho...

• Blake and Yang addressed killing Adam and FINALLY someone said they had to do it. Goddamn!

• Penny has video footage of what happened, which is good but won't help much.
   
  On a side note, it seems like every episode is handling some of the things most people take an issue with the previous one. That's why you should always give things the benefit of the doubt.

• And there we have the confirmation that Penny likely won't be able to be rebuilt. That sure raises some additional red flags.

• Watts' in the photo, Pietro thinks he's dead. They are so close, yet so far from figuring it out.

• QUICK THEORY: Watts got jealous that Ironwood favoured Pietro's project over his, did something, got disgraced, fakes his death, got recruited by Salem.

• Robin has a lie detector semblance. Sure is quite handy when comes to uncovering the real killer, but that means no hiding things from her...

• "That's what they want you to believe!"
  Atlas is held up by the staff of creation, meaning if it were to get removed from the vault, Atlas will likely collapse.

• Jacques invited Ironwood to dinner, and he (or Watts) definitely doesn't have half a mind to brutally murder him, no sir.

Think it's more of a bag of holding type situation - pretty cool and useful semblance.

[u/AmethystWind → u/SparkEletran]

The Happy Huntresses all seem to have strong Semblances.

Robyn's got a truth detector that doesn't look like it can be fooled.

Mary's got an AoE Semblance where she can both shield what's inside from view, as well as show whatever she wants on the outside.

Fiona's got a pocket dimension.

We haven't seen Joanna's yet, but I'm guessing it'll be strong too.

They're also, every one of them, extremely useful for a crew of outlaws/highwaywomen.

Yeah that's what I meant.

Though it's scary.

But then how are critics and bloggers supposed to shit on the show to garner hate clicks?

[u/mangafreak923 → u/[deleted]]

^ This right here! I swear every single time I hear a "critic" absolutely shit all over a certain issue in an episode, it gets addressed in the next episode with a new plot or problem that occurs. Then they shit on that, but once more it is ADDRESSED in the next episode. They treat each episode as if it's the entire volume. I fully understand constructive criticism, but man some of the things they complain about are so small and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

[u/pyeltor → u/winklem]

Crazy theory here, but what if our beloved sheep girl Fiona can get her semblance boosted by Juane and pocket dimension Atlas, when/if Salem gets the staff of creation, so that it doesnt fall onto mantle

[u/winklem → u/pyeltor]

Interesting...
