Don't hint about spoilers either. Saying, "It's going to be awesome!" or, "I'm disappointed," or anything that resembles a reaction is a spoiler. It colours the perception of someone who hasn't viewed the episode, and if it's someone who doesn't like spoilers, it's for the worse. So don't do that. It can be okay if it's about something minor, but if it's about a plot twist or anything major like that, just don't say anything at all. It's one reason I tend to avoid major details in my commentaries, unless I hide them with spoiler tags.

Speaking of: We're live.

EDIT: I can watch it now!

EDIT 2:

Episode 4 reactions:

"Huh, so that's what Yang's Semblance is." I wouldn't see that as that bad of a spoiler. RWBY is a fun world where you can have Utility Superpower's. Yang's Semblance could be used to clean a room for all we know.

"OH MY GOD, YANG'S SEMBLANCE IS TOO OP!" That gives me the impression Yang kicked a lot of ass in this episode, and that either a major villain got Worfed hard, or there was a sizable enemy force for her to demolish.

"Yang WRECKED that thing/robot!" Now I know there's going to be a robotic enemy, despite Yang going to a night club in the previous episode. I also know Yang will deliver the finishing blow.

"A Simple Wok? Lol." Not really a spoiler. I can't deduce what the hell you're talking about - but I'll catch it at the end of the episode, and I'll get my chance to laugh at it without knowing what it entailed.

You are in a warzone? People have romanticized notion of Hunters?

Girls, if you watch any media that has any remotely realistic portrayal of war, all of you are enjoying luxury!

Damn, Ruby is in some deep shit. Also, given how heavy Crescent Rose should be, I'm very surprised that she's not that strong.

The lack of White Rose continues to kill me but I'm holding out hope for the next episode.

Okay. So.

I think the "Blake can't fight" meme just took some fire in an oddly thought-provoking way.

5 bucks if you managed not to stare at Yang's cleavage this episode.

It's a spoiler, but only as far as knowing we learn what her semblance is. Which also spoils that there's likely a battle severe enough to justify revealing it, but not necessarily. Either way, I find that somewhat okay, depending on exactly what it is.

"A Simple Wok? Lol." Not really a spoiler. I can't deduce what the hell you're talking about - but I'll catch it at the end of the episode, and I'll get my chance to laugh at it without knowing what it entailed.
That's what I usually aim to write my comments as. Something that just doesn't make sense out of context. In particular the first "In which" line, which sometimes doesn't even make sense after the episode for people who're not me. Unless I say that someone dies, in which case there's an 85.3% likelihood no one dies.

Edit: And then you edited those out...

Okay, I have a legitimate grievance with this episode and that would be the bit with Ruby's scroll. This is really a problem with fiction set in modern day as a whole, though, and that problem is giving characters cellphones and then either having them die or have no signal at inconvenient times. It just feels like a cop out. What makes this egregious is that she actually had signal but chose to not make a call anyway and that having Ruby call the others wouldn't have changed a damn thing. Yeah, the others would have gotten there a few moments faster but not fast enough to change anything.

Episode 10. In which it goes halfway just as planned.

The sarcasm is strong with her.

They could just ask him. If they're friends, it shouldn't be a problem. Trust is one thing, but it doesn't have to be blind.

Their hair moves a lot while lying on their back.

I wonder if he asked them just to make them question themselves.

Blake is in on the Blake Can't Fight meme. Does that make her more or less awesome? (I vote for more.)

The one sleeping is the one on watch. Nice work distribution.

Smile of awesomeness. See above.

Sneaky time. Time to call Blake. Too bad the reception is too bad.

She's remarkably calm for hanging onto a thread.

So they're not looking for an underground crime network? They're looking for an underground crime network.

And then he pulls out a weapon. Next real episode is going to be a long wait, indeed.

[up]Nothing personal taken.

@FOFD -

Hand it over.

And this episode, where the fact that Blake can't fight is reinforced, although not in a usual way. And now Adam being Blake's mentor is officially canon. Yayz. Now, if only he showed up by the end of this volume...

Hey! My bad feeling was sort of right!

(sigh) Well, time to wait two weeks to see how Ruby gets out of this mess, at least.

But hey, at least we get more worldbuilding, right?

I'd much rather have worldbuilding that is done through actual storytelling, thank you very much.

Also, in this episode, we finally have an individual of White Fang. Perry. I find that to be significant.

Roman got two lines in this episode, and it was all he needed.

Well, I tend to look at all details I have time looking at anyway, but nothing in particular focus there.

But all in all, I don't think this was a particularly discussion-inducing episode.

By the way, if anyone thinks I have spoilers in my commentaries, feel free to point it out.

Two more grievances:

Ruby falls pray to a common bit of idiocy: "The ground is breaking beneath me! Let's stand perfectly still and watch it!" This is a double whammy given her Semblance.

Ooblek needs to get his priorities straight. One of your charges is in grave danger, now is not the time to be giving a length history lecture.

Also, WBY's talk at the beginning just felt a little lackluster to me. Nothing new was learned about Weiss or Yang and Blake continues to get all of the focus this volume because reasons. I've never been terribly found when most of an ensemble cast is pushed to background for a large portion of a season and this is no exception.

They're in a long abandoned city far away from civilization. It isn't too wierd to not have a signal there.
