I think maybe she'll begin one of the episodes (maybe the first episode of the finale?) just having learned how to airbend, and then discover that learning to airbend did not solve all of her problems as the Avatar. That could be a compelling episode plotline.

Except that the door automatically closed after Team Avatar (-1) went through.

@avclub-c3010f3c7aee6e4b442078b08cb9e898:disqus Now, we all know that Custer died at Little Big Horn.  What this book presupposes is… maybe he didn't?

Yeah, @avclub-68c81a145181a6b3092221895a3fd1a9:disqus is right—they're both struggling against something.  Mako's arm isn't flopsy like it would be if he had been chi-blocked, and Korra's struggling against something holding her in place.  @InternalParadox:disqus That isn't to say that it's Amon doing the…

@avclub-91546109eaf110327d50b0955865712a:disqus My Chinese history is a little rusty, but wasn't Shanghai considered an international zone at about the same time that this series is supposed to be taking place?

I don't think @avclub-935f361fa2c753a8b94f28f3f94914cf:disqus  actually thought "Zuko Alone" was a bad episode.  I think he was sarcastically bringing it up, since it's arguably not an episode that advanced the plot, but it's still amazing.
