So, uh, yeah. I'm on the west coast and the second part hasn't started yet. Can you wait longer to post what are essentially spoilers to those of us not living in the future that are the Mountain, Central and Eastern time zones?

I dont know what they could do for an interesting story though, I'm almost expecting a little timeskip?
Of course i still want to learn more of Commander Boomy, and Tenzen's other brother, as well as see Zuko. :3

also, did anyone else find Zuko's voice on General Iroh just a little.... not right?

hope the other seasons are longer!

I think Amon is actually Tarrlok's father, and he learned how to take bending away from Aang trying to do it on him (and for some reason, failing). The reason he can resist bloodbending is due to his own ability to bloodbend, which he uses to negate Tarrlok's bending.

So I was sorta right, just wrong relation. Ah well. Anyways, does anyone else think the end was sort of a cop-out? I mean really, we end with a ghost giving the main character magic powers to make everyone better again?

maybe a bit, but it made sense.  the avatar had the ability to truly take bending away, so why wouldn't the avatar also be able to return it?

I was under the impression that this season was supposed to run for 16 episodes... didn't they say that back when they announced Korra on Nick?

Maybe, but a 12 episode season seems a little short to me.. the 16 episodes also seemed short back then when i thought about how the 3 seasons in Avatar the Last Airbender were all around 20.

1st- 1000 posts- YAY!!!

But sigh, that it's on this topic- SPOILERS BELOW

Good animation and background canon can only make up for so much.  This spin-off/sequel, as a whole, really sucked by comparison, and there was no way to not compare it to the originals.  From story to length, it was really goofy, childish, and poorly thought out. 

On the pros side- steampunk 1920's shanghai was not a bad idea as a base for the story, the animation was crisp and well done (full HD being the obvious plus), and the basic premise was decent. 

But then it really falls apart from there.  The bending arena was very filler-ish (and that's not to say the original series didn't have filler, they even alluded to the silliness of the great canyon episode in the ember island players ep), but with only 12 eps a season, it really constrains character development. 

HORRIBLE emo, goofy, pseudo teen romance.  GAWD awfully bad.  And there was no consistency- there was far more depth/timing/sense in the original series, with a younger general age of the characters, while this sequel featured undeveloped/sudden character changes/emotions of love for people depicted as a good 5 years older.  Lacking in believability in almost every sense (this really reminds me of the first Raimi spidey movie, at the end where MJ says he loves Peter- no development to get to that point, it wasn't earned- where as in the original series, it took to the end till they truly kissed, and it developed over time with conflict, etc). 

So much was deus ex machina- from the use of machines, to the final conceit- solving the bending problem so easily at the end? WTF?  They could have started another season JUST based on the whole idea of regaining her powers, or figuring out how to deal without. 

An even simpler problem- how the hell does amon get to survive a STRAIGHT lightning attack?  Doesn't even fit into their original canon- no one was able to do that without re-channeling the energy, and even if he was a water bender, he clearly never learned that. 

Ach, there is so much more to harp on, but seriously, urgh.  Such a waste of time- perhaps not as horrible as the shitty as hell movie, but still pretty f'in bad.  I feel robbed like when I saw phantom menace and just tried to convince myself it was worth watching cause it was star wars, hence why I stuck to the end of the season, but my GAWD, this was horrible.

Book One: Air
Book Two:?

Did they announce it yet?

probably spirit, korra's mastered water fire and earth and now can air bend, but the avatar must also learn to balance the physical world and the spiritual world, plus we haven't seen too much of the spirit stuff so it'd make the most sense.

The season finale for Korra did seem like a proper ending for the spinoff so I'm kinda surprised that they have future seasons coming up.

The next season really needs to be about the spirit world. I'd love to see a rematch between the Avatar and Koh the Face Stealer.

Well, I'm hoping that it doesn't mean that Korra is going to go on a drinking binge with wine and "spirits".
