Episode 3 is actually making the idea that Amon is playing some game a more possible prospect. The whole Revelation rally really had a staged feel to it, and I actually do wonder if Amon may actually be trying to play both sides. Everyones reaction to Amon permanately taking away bending is to say "That's impossible" and Tenzin even mentions specifically that only the Avatar can do that. Amon is also quite eager to let Korra loose to spread the word of his "power", knowing that fear and uncertainty will be far more effective.

It also makes me wonder if Amon perhaps can't permanately take away bending, and he instead eliminates those he uses his power on at his rally's so that they don't live long enough to find out that the block is not permenant.

All in all, it is really feeling like Amon is playing a much larger game than simply trying to bring "balance" to the world like he claims, and I would not be surprised if the Equalists are just as much victims of Amon and his inner circle as benders are, that what he plans may be far more heinous than a mere revolution.
