Apparently the community agrees. Never thought I would see a community A rating. That's pretty cool.

Yeah. Once again, sorry I'm not clear. I understood that it was meant to be a red herring, but the anticipation was that she might have gone a complete 180 from the beginning of her journey. She spent her whole life wanting to be the Avatar, and here there was a hint that she might have hit such a low point she's

I haven't seen Zuko Alone recently, but I feel like there was more going on in Zuko Alone then in this episode. And that I could be mistaken on.

Yeah, but the cliffhanger last week was supposed to imply the opposite, right? Given she is trying to reclaim the role, I'm just saying Korra's journey isn't one where her character has any new revelations or we learn any major revelations other than her distress may have manifested into a physical form. The whole

I'm fully into and can get behind Korra Alone, but the whole episode is about her healing process.

The Dark Korra stuff is an intriguing hint of things to come, but it's explanation is only hinted at and in a way meant to be mysterious, and it's not fully developed this episode.

Pokémon did that, right? I'm pretty sure they did in the latest generation.

I'd rather it be more about their personalities then having to do with gender roles. I'm not saying there's no such thing girls understand girls in a way that guys don't or visa-versa, but that just seems so narrow minded.

I tried to go through my thoughts when replying to Kai's comment, but my point isn't a "which person has it worse" scenario, but more of a "which story line gives more insight to the characters or the world" perspective.

Korra went through a very bad trauma, and she's trying to overcome that trauma. She's the Avatar that was all about fighting and being into the action, and she not only got beat down hard, to the point where she needed months to physically recover. Now she needs to over come her mental road block.

It was a really sweet callback, but this definitely brought up the whole "reincarnation vs self" issue I wonder with in the series.

In Zuko Alone we got to really learn about Zuko's family dynamics, the kind of person he was as a kid, and how it compared to the journey he was taking now.
Then in the present story we see Zuko as the Prince of the Fire Nation see and try to help firsthand an Earth Kingdom family directly affected by the war, and

Zuko Alone definitely was more complex, and we got a lot more insight into Zuko in that episode that we got from Korra in this episode. I don't mean to belittle what Korra's going through, but it's very straightforward and simplistic.

I wonder exactly why Korra decided to trust Asami instead of Mako or Bolin with her issues.

Today's lesson: sometimes, you just gotta know when to bail.

I hear that. I have to wonder though if there's a tv show that actually goes into the parents learning the lesson and taking it a notch down on their "embarrassment".

Story time.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess the Q&A what did you what during the weekend could suffice. I have to imagine setting up the article site, paying for the URL, and other stuff I'm probably not thinking of is what takes up the majority of effort, with the actual review being on the easier end of things to take care of.

He has LinkedIn! Didn't you hear he has LinkedIn?
