And this is episode 6! I don't think it's expecting too much to think that the finale might actually melt my computer monitor.

Sure, he could be, but as with Tarlokk, the animators seemed to be deploying a whole bunch of visual tropes to tell us that he's not a good guy.

There were two great Lin character moments during that sequence too. When she (awesomely) plucked Korra out of the air when Korra's water elevator ran out of juice, it seemed like she was trying to get this reckless kid out of harm's way, and then she launches her right into the fray.

Well, Kosami (though I think it's "Korrasami") is a thing apparently.

I believe there was one, and it was so terrible that the fans speak of it in the same way they speak of the Shyamalan travesty, which is to say they don't.

There is a pencil test out there that says otherwise.

Yeah, that guy was shady as hell. I got the sense that players like Mako and Bolin—who have absolutely nothing else going for them—are vulnerable to exploitation. Employers making unfair loans to their employees for living expenses was common in the early twentieth century. It's called "debt peonage," and it was a way…

Adult Mako fans rejoice.

Love it. Mako/Tahno/Hasook made me snort audibly.

And his exit was even more awesome than his entrance.

Well said. I was also 100% with Korra on the "fuck the rules, let's play dirty" front.

The problem with this theory is that it only makes sense in light of the mythology that's been built up around cabbage guy, most of which is fan-generated. I think the Cabbage Corp nods are pure fanservice, nothing more. I doubt it will have any big impact on the story.

I think the argument about TLA characters being better developed than the LoK characters at an equivalent point in its run is being filtered through nostalgia goggles. It's hard to unsee what you've already seen. You can't replicate the experience of coming to Book One fresh when you already know what's going to…

It's in those moments when Mako really becomes an interesting foil for her and vice versa.

No Masami rating at all? I guess we know who the Ship-O-Meter REALLY ships.

Not gonna lie. I liked this ship as a possibility even though it wasn't likely to pan out. The age difference makes it creepy in the show itself, but as adults…

Sifu Kisu promises to kick the Lego Spongebob at the Nick offices for this offense:

That was a great tribute to this show's fans, but it also reminded me a little bit of Harry Potter cosplayers. Maybe it was the glasses and the scarf?

I'm going to go ahead and say that Korra gives zero fucks about the Equalists who were hurt/ambiguously offed during this episode.

They've gotta hold something back. Also, did Tenzin even have his glider staff?
