@ Sylex: I agree, I definitely want to see more character development for all of the characters, especially Bolin, but then I'm a bit biased there. XD. I'm glad that you're willing to give him another chance. TLA had amazing characters, and I can certainly understand the desire to see them again, and looking for the "new" version of them. Toph, one of my favorites, was most certainly one of a kind, and absolutely amazing. Her daughter is also rather awesome, though quite different.

As for Korra and Bolin's bending, Korra has already mastered earthbending according to the White Lotus. Bolin comments on her stance, that it's rather upright and solid, like traditional earthbending. I assume that much of Bolin's style comes not only from pro-bending, where one needs to be quick and light footed, and has limited ammo, but also from his life on the streets. My assumption is that with street fighting, one has to work within narrowed spaces, and with less raw material than in open battlefields. Damage has to be limited, and brawling has to be somewhat discrete to avoid police attention. Also, he fights side-by-side and trains with his firebending brother, which probably would make his style more fluid than solid.

I'm not trying to say that you should stop being bothered by his bending, I'm just trying to give you another viewpoint on this. I'm also a bit bored at the moment, so there's that too. XD.
