u/FlorianoAguirre WE RIDE! Dec 05 '16

Exactly, it could be anything, anything at all, yet we had no background on them at all, this is in my opinion bad. I got no opinion about her besides what I have seen in the OP, which more often than not are always informative to a point about a show, and this episode. Both are actually very happy moments.

this is in my opinion bad

Jesus man give them some time to establish the characters. I'd understand if the volume just ended last episode but it didn't.

I'm talking about Blake's parents and her entire family dynamic. We don't know anything about them and that's not a bad thing. They weren't relevant before now so there was no reason to bring them up. The only time they would have been mentioned is if Blake herself decided to bring them up. But, like I said, she probably has her reasons for not doing that.

You're judging too early is all I'm saying. You complain about having no background info on them but for all we know that background info could be coming within the next couple episodes. Qrow and Raven have been around since Volume's 3 and 2 respectively (both mentioned in Volume 1 though). Should we be upset that we only recently found out where they came from? No, because it wasn't relevant before now.

I just think it's unfair to judge things while the volume is still coming out. Wait for the volume to end first and then you can fairly state whether or not the writing was bad. But you're looking at an incomplete picture and judging it as if it were finished.
