I can't believe they madeJon of Arc a guy. As I speculated, I think these kids are "heirs to the throne" as it were. Also, Ruby mentions her uncle (SPOILER)Crow whom I think is actually (SPOILER)Oz's Scarecrow. While allusions from Ruby, Weiss, and Blake are easy to see, I don't really know who Yang represents (could be Sleeping Beauty or Goldie Locks or any number of blonde girls... Miss Muffet).
And Episode 3 is out, which is listed as "The Shining Beacon: Part 2", while Episode 2 was "Part 1". So I guess they're too short for even RT to consider them full episodes.

While length is a problem, at least they're coming out quickly.
