A little crime? Really?  <p>Suyin was an accomplice of two people who were definite criminals. Lin saw this coming before and warned her of joining up with those people. Rather than listen to Lin, she just showed how Toph wouldn't do anything even if she decided to skip school or anything. She then proceded to ignore Lin's orders and even scarred Lin for life. Hence, Lin's been holding up those feelings for life. Add to that, the crime at the end, which ultimately showed how Su could get away with anything because her mother was the chief. And that ruined the family. Toph was never the same again. She was guilty, She just contradicted everything she had done in her career, and the guilt forced her to retire. Lin blamed all of this on Suyin.  </p><p>If that person was anyone other than Suyin, maybe a common non-bender, would they ever have escaped for accompanying criminals and scarring an officer for life by assaulting them?   </p> </i></div>
<p>and on top of all that, the fact that the scar is on her <i>face</i>, like Zuko, means she is forced to remember that time and all that pain <i>every time she looks in the mirror</i>. And for <i>thirty years</i> of building that up? I think Lin held up more than the avarage person ever could have. Props to her, that lady is my hero. </p>

As sympathetic as I tend to be towards familial conflict, I have problems justifying Lin's outburst towards Opal. She is one of the sweetest characters on the show and was nothing but nice to Lin, even praising her accomplishments when talking to her, so Lin's anger really felt out of place.</i></div>
<p>I think it wasn't that Opal wasn't sweet and it wasn't that Lin was angry at Opal. </p><p>Lin was already brimming and on the edge of bursting. Opal bringing up family matters, even in the slightest, nicest way, just happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. </p><p>I've personally had experience being in a situation where you're already so upset that the smallest thing can set you off. So I do believe it was completely justifiable. </p>

<p>I love Suki. I mean, she is an incredibly skilled fighter, and she's a good role model for young girls.
Sokka's character would have kept a touch of sexism in it until the end of Book One if she hadn't knocked some sense into him in the fourth episode. </p><p>Not to mention half of the rest of the Gaang plus Appa and Hakoda would be either dead or imprisoned were it not for her. </p><p>She is truly underrated and unappreciated. </p>

<p>That would be something I'd like to see, actually </p>

<p>It the documentary he said: <i>"We got picked up for 13 episodes. Our friend and future writer, Josh Hamelton was there and his reaction was 'Get outta town!'"</i> </p><p>Kinda like Mako in The Voice in the Night </p>

<p>I agree with Wheelmaster that reruns would not be too good for a show like Korra (where it's almost continuous and you have to watch them together like a movie, unlike Avatar which for the most part, each episode could be watched by itself), </p><p>I would like to bring up the fact that keeping time to build up interest only works if you do some sort of special advertising alongside that (ie: publicity stunt, releasing a small amount of interesting information, leaving people wanting more... runing any kind of commercials <i>at all</i>); which is something Nickelodeon is <i>definitely</i> holding away from Korra. </p><p>From what I've seen, a large amount of Avatar fans still don't know Korra exists, and a lot of people who enjoyed Book 1 of Korra, aren't aware that it was picked up for more, so it's only going to starve a fanbase who I feel is barley holding on as it is. </p>

<p>It shouldn't matter if they put up more than one episode. This isn't something you can just "make up for", it's not a diet where you accidentally ate too much one day and fast the next to balance it out, it's a relatively expensive TV show that really needs it's airtime to keep existing! </p>

<p>This title is eerily similar to "The Guru", I mean, it basically means the same thing. Do you think they're going to talk about chakras? </p>

@AldenHeathcliffe Because the dude's the most badass thing to ever walk onto the "Avatar" series XD</i></div>
Hahaha? Ha?  <p>Seriously, these days I can't even tell if people are joking when it comes to this series. When the fans of a series make you question the borders of sarcasm and honesty then something is terribly wrong.   </p> </div> <p>It's not sarcasm, and it's not literal. It's just playful praise to a character. They're not saying she's "a badass" sarcastically, implying that she is weak; And on the other hand anyone can see she is also not really "badass", in the way, say, Toph was. They just like Jinora. That's all there is to it.  </p><p>"Fandom Speak" can be difficult at times, I know, you just get used to it. </p>

<p>Woa, I never noticed that! </p>

<p>Bending works because your body has chi and power running through it. </p><p>If you have no body, where's the chi? Where's the energy coming from? </p><p>As Omnibender said, Wan was <i>physically</i> in the spirit world. But after he sealed it, he said "he'd make it so no human would be able to <i>physically </i>enter the spirit world"  </p><p>Everyone else we know who had entered the Spirit World, left their physical body behind. </p>

<p>I was willing to accept the theory that says Lion Turtles gave an ability to humans that already existed in the original benders, and the original benders taught them how to use it properly. </p><p><i>But </i>then I remembered the other origin stories like "our ancestors watched how the moon pushed and pulled the tides, and learned how to do it themselves" and the Oma and Shu story that says they learned from the badgermoles and became the <i>first</i> earthbenders. </p><p>How would that work? </p><p>Maybe the ability that lion turtles gave could not be passed down to offspring, so humans had to re-learn it themselves? </p><p>This is a huge plot hole guys </p>

<p>I don't know about you guys, but I really love Varrick being a villain. During the first few episodes I had a <i>feeling</i> he was going to be bad, but I quickly dismissed it because he was really funny and entertaining. And then <i>this episode</i> is just... </p><p><i>D-AANG!</i> He had the most smug/sly expression on his face I've seen in a <i>looong </i>while and it was awesome XD. </p><p>Also, does anyone else kind of feel like Korra's amnesia is more connected to spiritual factors, rather than mental/physical ones? I mean, she was dragged under by <i>a spirit,</i> she washed up on an island that is most likely spiritual seeing as there are Fire Sages there, and this Book <i>is</i> called <i>Spirits.</i>
I wonder if part of her spirit is in the Spirit World and some left in her body; leaving her disconnected, and just not whole in general. I mean, she can still bend... but it might have just be instinctual bending. (like, she was just <i>shocked </i>at seeing the sages.) Then maybe the other part of her has to reconnect with the Avatar Spirit (Like when Aang had to reconnect with some of his passed lives after being shot by Azula) in order to go back to being whole. </p><p>And then that's where Wan comes in. </p>

<p>I really think the drop is effected by the advertisement, or lack thereof. On the Friday that Book 2 premiered, I wore a Legend of Korra shirt to school. Do you know how many people came up to me and said things along the lines of "Hey, it's Korra! I liked that show, <i>too bad it only had 12 episodes</i>" I would then tell them that the second season was starting and they would be completely surprised; happy, but still surprised. </p><p>Unless they were active on the internet, there wasn't all <i>that much</i> advertisement for Korra's second book. Especially considering Nick's ad team should have been trying to make clear that the clean ending of the first season wasn't a <i>series </i>ending, and that the long wait didn't mean it wasn't continuing, since that's what it looked like. </p>

<p>I was under the impression that the role of Cheif was earned and not inherited. At leat, in the southern water tribe </p>

<p>An evil avatar would make for a pretty good villain since antagonists actually have to be powerful to pose a threat or even be interesting for that matter. What would be a bigger threat in the avatar world then a rouge avatar? </p><p>I suppose it depends on if they're a fully realized avatar, and I think an adult avatar too; since an avatar can be controlled pretty well by their teachers and such if they're not fully realized and/or they're still just a kid. </p><p>If after Korra they made another series where a bunch of regular benders and nonbenders went against a dark avatar, I think it would be very interesting. We could see just to what extent all the past lives have influence on an avatar. They'd probably be constantly fighting them. (Actually that sounds really cool) </p><p>And what would cause them to go down that path even though the majority of their past lives would be urging them not to? It would have to be a very strong reason. Maybe they're just that greedy/power hungry/corrupted that they can't think straight? Maybe they <i>think</i> they're doing their avatar duty? </p><p>Like they're going Kira or something. </p>

good luck than
