So, we're up to Episode 13 now, leaving just five episodes until the season finale. Obviously, four of those episodes, like the norm, will be two-parters, beginning with Forever Fall, Pt. 2. We've been introduced to a third team, witnessed a sixth Grimm, two teachers, our first Faunus, seen Cardin's weapon, heard Russel's voice, learnt Jaune's dark secret, and then... we learn that Blake's forest is called Forever Fall which contains a syrupy substance in its trees that will attract nasty stinging insects.

So far, we have yet to see any character development for Blake or Yang or even Pyrrha who seems to be riding Jaune's developmental coattails. We have yet to see character development for Cardin or to hear his cronies speak more than a word or see their weapons or see them featured apart from their bastard leader. We have yet to see if the token Faunus Velvet Scarlatina is the only Faunus at Beacon or whether she is part of a team and if so why she was alone in class and in the cafeteria. We haven't seen any character development for Ren or Nora although no one really was expecting any at this point in the series. Finally, we have to see answers to just who Ozpin is, who Crimson is, what is Roman's plan and what exactly is the deal with that floating ghost cloak in the opening sequence?

But oh, well. I suppose there's plenty of time for that. We'll just have to wait until next season because they're certainly not going to answer those questions within the next five episodes. Well, maybe the whole Torchwick operation...
