The Week Late Train slides into Episode 12 of Season 8...
Ironwood found the BFG for this level, I see. Smooth response by Winter. I mean, it's not possible at this point. The dude is full on psychotic now. I <3 Emerald. "Feels weird." Interesting method of lampshading a lot to move the plot along much faster than usual with so many moving parts. Not ineffective; just interesting. Some real Ocean's 11 stuff in here, too. "Jaune, you're not on mute" would've been a good line for the current real-world situation. Robot Penny going by the wayside was very original Terminator like, so continue the comparison I've been using for a few episodes now. Meanwhile human (?) Penny is awesome. But, wait, let me make sure I understand something here... Old Penny is a sort of reverse build of New Penny? They said the staff being removed and used to create something new would cause the most-recently built thing to fail. In the starting case, it was Atlas. So using the staff for something else means Atlas will fail. The staff was used to create New Penny, with the carefully-worded instructions of "Robot parts and the virus," paraphrasing. So the Penny that terminates is actually technically New Penny, whereas Old Penny is technically her old self but with a human body having replaced her metal body...? So her soul manifested a body on its own...? Because the staff being used to create this worm-hole system would mean New Penny fails, so.... New Penny is actually what looks like Old Penny, and Old Penny is really what looks like New Penny? With the warning of "don't fall," it makes me thing of the No OSHA Compliance trope. Wonder who's going to die in Episode 13 (or 14) based on that. Anyway, looking forward to next week. Gotta say, this has been one of the better seasons of the nearly 8 full total.

The Week Late Train steams into the apparently-penultimate episode of Season 8...
Exiting those portals into a sandstorm feels like coming out of hyperspace right into a asteroid shower... Our coordinates are right, only no Alderaan. That central platform is right out of a Smash Brothers level. Oh, okay, they're using that flash-back mode again. I actually kinda am liking this now on the second time in as many episodes. Ugh. Cinder better not kill Emerald. I am going to be so pissed if, right after my like 5 seasons of hoping Emerald goes good finally comes true, she gets the axe. And that's why you don't let people like Watts live. And also why you don't leave someone's weapons lying right next to their cell. Good Lord. Don't fall down, eh? Well F. *slams head against desk* I'm not going to stop watching this series, but they've just eliminated a particularly large reason why I started watching it in the first place and have continued to do so. Dammit. Now I'm pissed. Thanks for the share.

The Week Late Train pulls into Terminal 14 of Season 8...
Ah, Salem as the T-1000 again. Just takes a while for the mercury to all flow back to the central spot. Ironwood's BFG has a bit too high rate of fire. It's OP. Might need to Nerf it in the next patch. Sooooooo..... just saying she's your friend gets her to stop her homicidal bent? Um.... well, that was easy. Man, there are a lot of auras being exhausted in this fight by the good team, but... they keep fighting as if nothing is wrong. And now we have Crescent Rose lost. Seriously, writers, I'm getting perturbed here. MY GOD. My biggest pet peeve in fiction. SENSE. OF. URGENCY. The countdown is at like 20 seconds and you're taking like 15 seconds of goodbyes. What is wrong with you people!? Oh, so, well, there's now an exceptional chance that the "Don't Fall Down" warning isn't really *that* bad unless this episode title ("The Final Word") means this series is over in about 15 more minutes. Are you serious with this crap? Dear God. Go through ALLLLL of that trouble with Penny for THIS? F everything. I guess Winter is sort of like a Jedi deflecting that blast back. Cool. So, that's how season 8 ends. They were doing so well up until those last 2 episodes. It's basically how I look at "Fury" as a movie; did really, really well, and then just totally screwed up the last act. Yet another good, interesting character goes by the wayside, and still we have ones hanging around that absolutely suck. *sigh* Well, we'll see what happens in about 9 months or so. Until then, folks, the Week Late Train is heading into the shed for an overhaul.

Considering this is fiction, I'm not 100% sold yet on Watts... I mean, it's highly likely, but... we don't *know*.

Man this haitus is rough. But we have news - an expectation for it to be released this year.
I do feel bad for RWBY. The creators, the fans, the animators... the expectations have always been so high for this series, and with the extra wait and development put into Volume 9 in such a difficult day + age, and it being a part of such a crucial juncture of the story as well.
