Sylex, your problem is that you're too hooked on the past. Like Aang let go of Earthly attachments in the Book 2 finale and was able to see the truth of the Avatar, so should you leave behind the past and judge LoK on a blank slate (Trust me, you won't get shot with lightning). I didn't like Bolin much either to start off with, but for opposite reasons. I felt he didn't have a Sokka-esque character; i was looking for Sokka-styled jokes and comic relief, and I didn't get much. But if you accept that these characters are entirely new, you can see that they're all (mostly) great, unique individuals with personalities of their own. And no, Bolin is not going to be a "one-shot character"; he's going through to the end. But, just because you don't like him, doesn't make him a "cheap Sokka copy."
