RWBY Volume Seven

[Bob Schroeck]

...and I'm finally caught up. Between Peggy and Helen being sick at different times, and the holiday stuff, we hadn't gotten together until last night to watch any episodes since the end of November. Catching them in a single block I think made it all hang together very well, too... And yeah, as soon as we saw Polendina had his finger over that one guy's face, we knew who it was. Polendina's revelation on Penny's "something extra" reminded me of a novel I read long ago about a robot who discovered he had a soul where other robots didn't, and what he learned at the end of the book about it from his creators. (I wish I could remember the title and author; I thought it might have been John Sladek's Roderick, but a quick look-up leads me to think it was a different work entirely.)

Edit: Oh, and is it just me, or has Cristina Vee's performance as Robyn Hill changed since the beginning of the volume? In the last episode or two it sounded like she was speaking in a slightly higher register (closer to what I think is her "normal" voice) than she had in her earliest appearances.
