It *would* be an exciting turn of events if, in one particular episode, something happens to Korra in which the brothers have to help/find her. And then, when Mako is off trying to comfort her, Bolin is (similar to how Katara took Zuko aside to warn him about betraying Aang in Season 3) threatening the person(s) responsible for hurting Korra with lethal intent.

That way, we see a slightly dark/different side to Bolin, and the other characters are unaware of this threat he has made, as the show progresses. Shows that, even if he starts to realize he may never have a chance with Korra romantically, he still *loves* her and is willing to do what is necessary to keep her safe even if he doesn't get any thanks for it.

And maybe, for a little while I suppose, if Makorra *does* start to develop further (which I honestly believe it will, though for me; Borra 110%) Bolin can start to take a slightly more serious outlook as Amon's plans for a Revolution unfold.

He will still have that unbelieveable charm and magnetic attraction about him (of course), but will be developed more because of... you know. Character development.

Possibly, even, throughout the series he maintains that unrequited love for Korra, though she doens't seem to return it, to add a little tragedy to his character (get us fan-girls/guys fawning over him even more :P) but still have him be his upbeat, optimistic self outwardly.

Maybe this is just me, but even though I have accepted the show is heading in Makorra, I don't want Bolin to just be passed off to another random side character in order for him not to be "alone".

All of this "Mako/Korra means Bolin 'gets' Asami" rubs me the wrong way. Sure, I'm sure he'll be passed off to someone else in the end, but I would rather him just stay open and have his "fangirls" if he can't be with Korra. :/

Just IMHO, I mean.
