Separating the universes works from a dramatic standpoint, but it doesn't make a lot of sense plotwise.  While it stopped Jones' imminent plans, if anything Jones is now in a much better position than ever; his enemies are divided and he likely has the most reliable methods/means for moving between universes.  This

I don't even watch this show anymore but I appreciate the unveiled disappointment and annoyance in these reviews.  I'm considering finding a fully loaded TIVO just to see if this show has gotten that bad.

I'm thinking the cost that Nina was talking about might have something to do with that.  Perhaps the other universe got disconnected to protect themselves, although that also means it's still deteriorating because the bridge was some kind of bandage for them.

That's unrealistic, even if they get renewed they still need to write and shoot the next season and you'd probably be lucky to finish pre-production by September.  I'm hoping for renewal as well, so sorry to burst that bubble.

Sokka, or his descendant is a good possibility.  Everyone else has gotten a brief mention, a huge statue, or we meet their descendants but there hasn't been any mention of Sokka.  Perhaps, he or his descendants, are upset that he didn't get enough credit during or after the war.  And Sokka was presented as very

Before Aang, the previous fire-bending Avatar didn't even start training until he was out of his teens, maybe even into his twenties.  They weren't even supposed to tell Aang until he turned 16, and Korra figured it out herself, so it's not surprising that they haven't told her much about the Avatar State.  Plus, she

Can we agree that you charge stuff "on" or "in" the grid, not "off"?

Who would that be? Everyone from the original series is dead, and even if they weren't they would be 70 years older and unrecognizable.  That only leaves some water-benders we met for 5 minutes in the first episode or Korra's air-bending teacher, neither of which are realistic options.

I count two spirits who attempted to kill Aang, why wouldn't they kill Korra?

I'm betting that his "energy-bending" is a trick, akin to stage hypnosis.  We've seen a characters state of mind severely affect their ability to bend before, like Zuko when he joined the Aang Gang.

I think Deadwood is probably his biggest role to date, and I'm sure with Justified's current popularity he is getting other offers.

He mentions the Devil murder as required because the actor was leaving, I wonder if Tim Olyphant's extra input is solicited in part to keep him happy because almost anyone else could technically be written off the show but without Raylan Given's they would have to close up shop.

I think he explains himself.  Before he abandoned the throne, his goals were in sync with his brothers; it wasn't until after he lost his son that he began to question the last 100 years of Fire Nation history.  By the time he recovered from mourning, he wasn't in a position to overthrow anyone and he poured his

Iroh's explanation for why he couldn't defeat the Fire Lord was unexpected and interesting.  That Aang needed to defeat the Fire Lord was assumed since day one but by explaining how even if the Legion of Aged Superhero's could defeat Ozai it wouldn't have the same effect, I felt a little extra excitement and

I'm right there with you on Ugly American's, that show has steadily gotten better and better; I almost always laugh out loud at least once, and I'm a pretty reserved person.

Yeah, I think you're right.  If I recall correctly, the catalytic converter turns some of those fumes into CO2 but if you concentrate the fumes and inhale them it's the carbon monoxide that will kill you.

Master Race?

I say season two is titled with something related to non-benders/technology (Equality?).  My first thought was Spirit, but I'm ready to put money on something representing non-bending people/technology.

I thought Broyles was shapeshifter, and while I was pretty sure we didn't witness his death in this timeline it, knowing that he died in the previous timeline certainly reinforced my suspicions and I was genuinely surpised by the reveal.  To be fair, he could've been replaced at some point off screen and we just

I'm think that like Boyd considers him something of a father, Arlo considers Boyd akin to a son. Hence, Arlo shoots the cop (who could've been Raylan, he's clearly unsure when he returns to the bar even though he shot the cop) to protect Boyd, and takes the fall for Devil's murder to protect Boyd from jail.
