It's a testament to how well the show has set up the impact of having your bending removed as well as Lin's character that her sacrifice felt almost as devastating as any character death I've ever seen. Bending was clearly integral to her identity. Her ability to use her mother's Daredevil sense hearkens back to what…

I am just going to assume that Emily had to go sob for an hour after watching this thing, and that's why there's no review yet.

I think you're on to something, but I'm not sure it's that cut and dry (and I doubt the vision is actually from Amon). I suspect that the vision IS a lesson about people who possess world-breaking powers (be they Yakone, Tarrlok, Amon, or the Avatar) and how they can be used responsibly or irresponsibly. It's only a…

I'm so glad that Lin and I have the exact same reaction to little kids.

Correct. We might still be dealing with the consequences of the Equalist revolution next season, but this was originally supposed to be a 12-episode miniseries. Now, it isn't clear whether or not they rewrote the ending when Nick ordered a second season, but it seems clear that we will have a definitive conclusion to…

I haven't read The Promise yet, but I've read enough about it to know what happens, and the Zuko plot strikes me as entirely believable and in character. Zuko is an abused kid, and like many abused kids, he identified with his abuser, internalized the shame, and desperately sought to please the man who burned half his…

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus  I'm really not either, but I forgave her for it on the grounds that she grew up without any peers and stopped when she realized she was hurting people.

@InternalParadox:disqus yeah, the only thing that makes me think that is that Mako's arm is twisted around in a way that really looks like all the bloodbending victims we saw in this episode. It doesn't look like the effects of chi-blocking. Again, that could just be intentionally misleading editing.

I rewatched last night and noticed that part where Lin feels up the wall and then unlocked the secret door. Smart money says she can crack safes and bank vaults.
