Oh, we're taking things to illogical extremes now? I can do that!

Regarding Stupidity #6, here's why they released it early:

What do you think "establish" means?

Now I want to see one of those Fruit Pie the Sorceror ads set in the Avatar-verse.

When will these disobedient young women learn to behave themselves? Seriously, go meditate until a man becomes the Avatar again.

I've seen the finale now, and enjoyed it, and thought Korra's final conclusion made good sense given the purpose of the Avatar (a purpose that only occasionally aligns with the downward imposition of authority that far too many people apparently confuse with "good"), so you don't need to hold back there.

Yeah, the implicit spiritual metaphor in that was incredibly well-conceived, and I didn't even see it until the fog lifts for Tenzin.

Yeah, he…jacks? Wait, I'm confused.

Haven't seen the finale, but none of your "problems" with this week's episodes seem all that problematic:

Nah, the police would have just gathered the four men up, put them into different interrogation rooms, and told each of them that the other three were all spilling their guts, and if they wanted to cut a deal they better start talking quickly, while there was still some stuff to confess to. At least one person would…

"I always figured I was going to end up here one day."

Yeah, now I want to see a Bumi spinoff about his younger days that's entirely made up of crazy, improbable stories.

I like to think that Bumi and Sokka were always very close, as the two non-Benders in the family.

Dear Lord, why does it have horns?!

One of the better small touches: after Pabu's death scene, there's a cut to a long shot of Bolin holding Pabu, and Pabu's tail starts moving around. Reminds me of the early cut of Psycho that Hitchcock supposedly screened for his close friends, only for his wife to point out that Janet Leigh swallows in one shot…

Bumi rolls a natural 20 on all his saving throws. I always wondered how nonbending kids survived childhood if they had siblings who were benders, I think they must all turn into people like Sokka or Bumi.

Yeah, if you're going to teach a history, Henry IV Part One is where it's at. It's got a bunch of dirty jokes and a big battle scene, the structure makes it really easy to follow, Falstaff is never not funny, and you can claim that it's relevant to their lives by framing Hal as a young adult who's learning about the…

One of my Spanish teachers showed us Pootie Tang in class, with the excuse that Pootie Tang was basically speaking a second language, so it was relevant? After that intro with the cheesy blaxploitation music, the pimpmobile suddenly appearing out of a stack of cardboard boxes, and Dirty D being sent through the car…

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Brian Moore teaches Freshman English. Mostly because my English class also had R&J and The Odyssey (though we had To Kill A Mockingbird instead of Night). It's kinda depressing how homogenous the high school curriculum tends to be in public schools. I think I can count on…

I actually really like the novel, which is a great tribute to the original (especially the way the prose imitates alliterative verse) and think it and the poem are apples and oranges, but there is no way it would make a good SyFy movie. Dragons that quote Sartre probably aren't nearly as fun on a screen.
