Not to mention earlier on Unalaq could have used it to manipulate her in a more convincing way. "Open these portals and you'll get your bending back!" sort of thing.

The fact that the mythology revealed in this episode isn't directly 1:1 with Taosim is not a narrative flaw.

This episode kind of made me retroactively hate the decision to give Korra her bending back at the end of last season. I would have liked this episode as the climax to a story arc involving Korra only having air and suffering from a clearly defined identity crisis. I imagine seeing her regaining her bending at the…

Vaatu has probably convinced Unalaq that he needs to release him in order to restore balance or something. Which would have some truth to it.

I used to really love ragging on this show, but you know what?  I saw Dexter season 8 and while the Walking Dead isn't great, its certainly not as bad as that.  Its actually pretty good.

yes.  I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of magic cards, so there might be more examples, but If you attack with one of these pig tokens, you are essentially flooping the pig.  When you attack you "tap" the creature, which is the same as flooping (you turn it sideways).

But isn't Magic the real Card Wars?

Ah, no I get it.  I do think Adventure Time is objectively superbly animated, but art style is purely subjective.

I think Adventure Time is worth watching for it's animation alone.
Adventure Time is heads and shoulders above unsupervised, it's probably the best animation you can find on TV period.  I mean, It doesn't rely on tweening, this is hand drawn traditional animation.  Most other animated shows only present their…

what REALLY bothered me about that scene with Clooney's sacrifice is that all they had to do to was to her not actually catch him.  Maybe he's JUST out of reach and there's nothing either of them can do to get him to safety.  The result is the same and you don't have the logistical problems that take you out of the…

I don't think adventure Time should be all relationship based/introspective episodes, and I don't think Adventure Time should be all inconsequential adventuring episodes.  I like a balance of the two.  And this episode sits very comfortably having followed a string of very strong relationship based episodes.  I think…

Those details didn't bother me so much as the actual art style. The drawing was way too modern.  I could buy it as a comic from the 90's maybe.

It's probably been said, but this season kind of seems like the season 2 we would have gotten if Brody had blown himself up.  We're dealing with the aftermath of a serious bombing, Carrie is being outed for her involvement with the alleged bomber, Brody's family is dealing with his absence and the fact that he's a…

I've seen some older series that had really great animation and storytelling, but any newer anime I've come across has had just awful, terrible animation and even worse storytelling.  Talk about "tell don't show".  I've seen entire episodes comprised solely of characters talking to each other with only their mouths…

I don't buy this idea that people are giving breaking bad undue credit because they're watching the show through rose colored glasses.  If something's good, its good.  If they blew this finale you can bet everyone would be calling them on it.

Ozymandias was definitely the series' climax, by design.  I don't think they were trying to outdo that episode here.  Just putting a nice, satisfying bow on the whole thing.

Boy is my face red!

I think it would tell Walt that Jesse is still alive.  What THAT would mean to him I don't know.  Again, it's probably a stretch and there are easier ways for him to find out Jesse's still around, through Lydia, by just stumbling upon him at the Nazi compound (if he gets there).  Again I'm just thinking about other…

yeahhhh but he always expected the blue meth to continue, he left Lydia a "viable operation", and from what we've heard from Lydia, blue meth is the only viable option available to her.

I felt that the murder of Andrea was unnecessary (hasn't Jesse suffered enough), but I'm thinking maybe this will be the clue to Walt that Jesse is still alive with the nazis.  If he hears about Andrea's murder (which I'm sure he would, something like that would be pretty widely reported I'd imagine) he could connect…
