It's true, the focus on shipping did little to help this season. If they had cut out the shipping, you'd have eliminated a good number of the glaring issues with the series. For a season that was supposed to be "tightly-plotted", we sure slipped into the brainless romantic escapades one too many times at a time where an anti-bending revolution threatened to destabilize an entire nation. It undermined Korra's identity as a tough, tomboyish but focused leading heroine and we don't even need to emphasize the damage it did to Mako's character.

And for the love of God, why did they put Asami through all of that torment? After all she gave up to save her friends, I think she deserved better.

I'd almost rather go back to Kataang vs. Zutara after having to sit through all that Makorra nonsense.
