Poor Bolin's been friend zoned. It's a common case, really. You see a guy who has so much in common with you, you do everything together, he makes you laugh, you tell him everything...and she falls for the jerk who doesn't trust her, is a little rude to her, and is involved with someone else.

Now, the only gripe I have with this friendzoning is it's pretty much over for Bolin. No more gazes at Korra, no more flirty flirty. She's still eyeing Mako even though he's with Asami. I would hate to think Bolin's feelings were for the sake of the plot and he can't develop as a character because he's the Sokka of the group. As annoying as it is in real life for a guy to chase you even when you told him you don't feel the same way, I feel bad for Bo. He deserves to be happy. I hate the fact that they introduce SO MUCH SHIPPING (my body was not ready for that) only to treat it like the open and close episodes that we saw in book one of ATLA. (the great divide). I don't know if this was the creators intent, but I'm going off what I observed so far.

Speaking of observations, When Guru Pathik told Aang "You must learn to let go", it reminded me of Korra watching Mako hug Asami. I'm rooting for all ships at this point but great googly moogly, if her damn chakra isn't wide forking open after that, I'll be one very unhappy camper. I'd also like to see Tahno develop more as a character. His bending being gone knocked him down a few pegs but we still see him as a show offy type of guy. That would be a fun addition to the show. It saddens me that this is a mini series but I am excited to see how they grow as people.

Another thing that makes me happy is seeing them develop better skills. Korra fudged up the Liutenant pretty bad instead of sucker punching him with an earth wall. They're advancing after every fight just like in the first series. Just my thoughts so far.
