Yeesh people, give the writers a break. Sure, her character is pretty flat right now, but she's been around for a less than 23 minutes. When I watched the second episode for the first time, my thoughts were: Mako's a jerk and Bolin is going to be the Sokka character. Then both of their characters were more developed in the following episodes. The same will probably happen with Asami.

Being a feminist, the whole "the female character doesn't have to end up with anyone" thing is kind of appealing, but this is kids TV. It's just a given fact that there are going to be relationships. And I don't care what anyone says, but the plot just wouldn't be as good without all the underwritten relationship angst. And who doesn't love some of that? ^^

For a quick note on the plot, am I the only who thinks the Equalists aren't really villians? Put yourself in their place. These Triple Triads have been bullying and harrasing them. Taking this out on all benders is a bit extreme, but have you noticed that it is implied that all council people are benders? Because Tarlok says "they will go after you and your family" or something. That implies that the council people are benders. I can understand nonbenders getting a bit ticked with this whole situation and feeling desperate enough to take it to extremes like Amon does.
