You know what? I feel bad for Asami. So far, all she has done is be a good person: treated Mako with dinner as a way to apologize for hitting him with her moped, convinced her father to fund the Fire Ferrets so they could continue in the tournament, and just over all be nice to every one. What does she get in return? Korra kissing her boyfriend behind her back, and Mako actually kissing her back. Sure, if wasn't full on making out, but it was still something.

I don't blame Korra as much as I blame Mako. When Mako was talking to Bolin about being in a relationship with Korra, he said Korra was great but "it made more sense to be with Asami". That doesn't sound very loving. If anything, I feel like Mako is using Asami, but not for her money like everybody else thinks. Using her for... I don't know, just to have a girlfriend? I can't really explain how, but I just don't think Mako deeply likes Asami.

Korra, on the other hand, is confused about these new feelings, and you know, I've been there. I remembered I had liked a guy who was basically Mako (though he wasn't in a relationship with anyone else at the time) and I also liked a guy who was basically Bolin. I ended up with the Bolin guy and have happily been with him for three years. <3 Still, it's not fun to be in the position Korra is in. It REALLY sucks to be a hormonal teenager, but I still believe she should have had better regards for Asami's feelings.

If anyone in episode 5 was treated unfairly, I'd say it was Asami. Sure, Bolin definitely did get a lot of heartbreak from it and I felt horrible for the Bo-man (I could go into a whole rant about Bolin's side of it, but for the sake of keeping this somewhat brief, I won't.), but I'd still have to go with Asami. From the looks of the ending to that episode, it doesn't even seem like Mako, Korra, or Bolin are going to tell Asami about the kiss. I find that very unjust to her. I liked Masami, but now I'm hoping they break up so she doesn't have to endure being in the middle of all the romantic confusion between Mako and Korra. She doesn't deserve that.

I don't, however, see Bolin and Asami getting together if things don't work out between Mako/Asami and Korra/Bolin. They don't even appear to be friends more as they appear to be aquaintances. Plus, their personalities don't seem to mesh well together. I don't see how people find Bosami to be a good couple without wanting to hook up solely for the reason that they won't be alone.

Blah, I don't know. I really didn't like episode 5. I'm not a huge fan of shipping and I just didn't like how that episode was centered around it, but I have faith that the creators know what they're doing. I truly hope episode 6 makes up for it.

{Man, I can never leave a comment without making it super long. xD;}
