…is it a good idea for her to be carrying around a clearly mentally disturbed murderer in her head with all the others?

Blood Oath is indeed the first truly great Dax episode.

If its weird now, I can only imagine what it was like for the Trills during earlier stages of their culture.

despite all the mythology behind the Trill being a synthesis of tthe
humanoid host and the symbiont, the show generally treats Jadzia as an
extension of her past hosts - when Jadzia talks about Curzon, for
instance, she mostly talks about him as if he's the same person she is

Something I really like about Korra so far is that she seems like she is both aware she's VERY attractive, and she's entirely okay with boys hitting on her. She is neither completely oblivious as to her own sexuality, nor is she a delicate flower.

Unconvincing and borderline creepy.

The important point is that Aang, the individual person, does not believe in killing and wants to avoid it.

How could he NOT be responsible, tho?

Suki won't be upset because of the affair she'll be having with Ty Lee at the same time.

Except that Aang explicitly disavows any responsibility for what happened at the North Pole. Direct quote:

Oh, something else fun with the voice cast…

I remain annoyed that Adventure Time somehow scored continuing, ongoing coverage, while all FIM got is a one-shot from Todd about a year ago that he seemed embarrassed to be writing.

Do we know yet if it will be Hayden who will be joining us for Korra, or will he be passing his office off to a feisty young woman from the south pole for the next part of our Avatar journey?

I was originally going to wait for "The Phoenix King" to bring this up, but since we're apparently doing the entire finale next week and will have a LOT to talk about, I'll talk about it here.

Until they reach the Fire Nation, the Gaang has essentially been
fighting a war in abstract against an enemy it doesn't fully understand.

They HAD a perfect plan. "Unleash the Avatar against the middle-aged man who CAN'T BEND."

The thing with Actress!Azula being hilariously stiff is doubly funny at the meta level because her voice actress is Tara Strong, Queen of the Bronies and one of the best damn voice actresses at work in animation today.

Why does everyone keep assuming that the audience reaction to the end of the play is genuine?

Is that always Majel Barret?

I'd like to make a couple observations re: Nalas and Sisko, and Sisko telling Nalas that the truth of his past doesn't matter, only the narrative that's grown up around it and what it means to Bajor and its people.
