I think the show was trying to portray it as an only-Nixon-can-go-to-China moment—it takes a Democrat to have the guts to screw over the teachers' unions, because when a Republican does it anyone would think it's just because they *want* to screw over the unions, not because they think it's a *compromise* they have to…

"Zaofu is, according to Kuvira’s map, located on a long strip in the northwestern Earth Kingdom."

Zuko's daughter was in the audience at the coronation. She didn't say or do anything.

Anguy: Lothar of house Frey!
Lothar: Are you the Brotherhood Without Banners?
Anguy: That we are.

Just the opposite, I think! Lady Stoneheart serves some of the same narrative role as Reek—to kind of deconstruct the emotional craving for vengeance. One of the main themes of the series is that vengeance isn't ennobling or romantic or glorious; this is the subject of Ellaria's great monologue in AFfC, if I remember…
