Ok saw the episode... I found it a tad meh for the most part.
Ok, the first thing that comes to mind... vote counting in mantle makes zero sense. We are talking about jacques losing by 30 points mere minutes away from the end and then there is an upset... That's not how anything works. Add to that, jacques tried to hold the city hostage a day earlier. he is a criminal who should be prosecuted without a shred of lenience.
Then... we also didn't actually deal with the disturbances caused by jacques. A bit lazy but perhaps for the best though.
And... the series is pretending blake and yang specifically have gone through a lot? That's not actually true though. They spent most of volume 4 and 5 separated and the only meaningful thing they have done together is killing adam. Otherwise the bulk of what they have been through together also involved ruby and weiss. If the series wants to put blake and yang together that's fine but don't pretend they have been through so much stuff alone when they simply haven't.
Reporter: How does it feel that your supporters were the ones rioting?
robin: Fucking awesome because it was literally 80% of the country. I AM GETTING MY SEAT BITCH!
Reporter: So you don't think jacques has a chance tomorrow?
Robin: A chance? The guy incited a panic and basically tried to hold the country hostage to win an election. He is a criminal. I am literally running unopposed while the majority of the country supports me. Right? RIGHT!?
reporter: The fuck do I know.
james: Ok rwby, take a break. Until tomorrow.
Ruby: but why? It's literally the busiest night of the year and someone is trying to frame you for murdering your political allies. Shouldn't you have all your best people out there? specially considering that so far it appears that the ace ops and us are literally the entirety of your forces.
James: Look, I need an excuse to throw bumblebee fans and ren/nora fans a bone.
Ruby: confused
Weiss: Wait, are you not aware of what is going on? How can you possibly be this oblivious?
Jaune: Weiss, movie with me and oscar? We aren't in any ship anyone cares about.
Weiss: God i hope so cause otherwise I will run out of people to hang with.
RWBY: Why are you going out with those guys? You said they suck.
Yang; we wanna dance.
Blake: yep.
Weiss: You guys aren't actually going with them right? it seems like such a transparent lie.
Nora: REN! NOTICE ME!
Ren: No.
NORA: Unlike blake and yang we have been through so much!
Ren: Aren't we like siblings? I distinctly remember adopting you.
Nora: nora rage noises.
Ren; eh, um, eeerrrrrrr.
Nora: eats ren's face
Penny: Oh, an obvious enemy. Gotta take my time running all my protocols before being useful.
Tyrian: kills people as if he was in a musou game
penny: These protocols take a reaaaallly long time.
Tyrian: Still kills people. escapes penny's sight.
Penny: Are my eyes damaged? what's the point of these if they can be fooled like regular eyes? And its so dark. don't I have a flashlight? Even phones have flashlights.
