This is getting kindof annoying. Yeah, sure, character scenes are really nice, and buildup is necessary, but you need plot too. I was excited when the first two episodes were up to 20min that we might get that length consistently... but nope. Been sliding down to 15.
Who would've thunk that Blake would be giving us the most/only action at the midseason... although I'm sick of the fight scene blueballs. And the blueballs in general going on. justdoit.gif
And how about the in-Haven storyline with three of the four main cast which has completely fucking stalled. Need a subplot to keep them all busy? Fuck man, I dunno. How about finding Neptune? Isn't he from Mistral? If nothing else I'm pretty sure Pyrrha's from Mistral so you can go off and have Jaune commiserate with them. God knows he needs something to do. We'll probably get a training arc with him about unlocking his semblance which he'll bust out in the season ending fight, but still. Dude hasn't done shit... though nobody has once they've hit Haven. Yang getting mad at Oz completely fell flat and made no sense. Like... what are we getting mad at him for? He didn't cast shapeshifting magic on the Branwens as a curse. It's a sweet new ability that he gave them so they'd be better scouts and spies. Cool shit Oz. Wanna give the rest of us some of that hot magic action?
Only solace is that we're at least getting the big showdown at Haven in the last few episodes. Granted, Haven still feels pretty empty, so it's got that working against it, but still. It won't live up to the destruction of Beacon and general wrecking of Vale's shit, but should still be good.
