To those who speculate just where chi blocking originated: Yes, it is possible that it was a rare, almost completely unknown, art back in Aang's day, however, I find it unlikely. If anyone, ANYONE, knew about chi blocking back then, you don't think they would have used it against the Fire Nation? Speculating whether or not chi blocking has origins other than Ty Li is just that, speculation. There is no evidence whatsoever to support the theory.

Keep in mind that metalbending wasn't discovered until Toph. It is entirely possible that chi blocking was not discovered until Ty Li. After all, in the Last Airbender everyone who fought against Ty Li were caught off guard by her style. In the last episode of season three it was also stated that Ty Li taught the Kyoshi warriors her techniques. So, I state again, chi blocking in Legend of Korra was most likely inspired by Ty Li.

To 'Former' Meanboy: I only understood about half of your post. >.>

For the little I did manage to understand: How in the world did you get "Amon is Tarrlok's boss" from this most recent episode? This episode made it fairly clear that the only relation Tarrlok and Amon have to eachother is that they're enemies.

As for Amon neutralizing Tarrlok. . . Disappointing. Unsurprising, but disappointing to say the least. Tarrlok had so much potential as an antagonist. -heavy sigh-
