Oh! And Wan was a fire bender so… following the natural sequence, the 2nd Avatar would be:
Avatar: The First Airbender!

Maybe, but this is also a genie who is willing to push his arm through the bars of a silver cage, just to send an inconsequential message. He knows that he can't die, so it would take quite a torture to get a genie like that to speak.

I thought Alice’s plan to lie to everyone about the location of the bottle was a brilliant plan. The point was not to let the Knave see Jafar. The point was to let Alice see Jafar (or whoever was after her genie, since she didn't know who her enemy was until then.) She knew of Jafar from the genie's warnings, but she

He doesn't want an answer from the genie. He wants a solution. The genie cannot provide the solution because Alice owns his wishes until she makes all 3. Even if the genie wanted to give Jafar a wish, he couldn't. So Jafar must force Alice to make her 3 wishes so the genie will return to his bottle and a new master

It's not Hugh Jackman?!

What I liked the most about Varrick's reveal is that now there is a possibility that Zhu-Li will be set free at some point. Of course, it's also possible that she'll end up breaking rocks at his side in some war criminals' prison, depending on how things turn out.

It's the first movie ever made and it has the production values that should have required decades of advances. Of course everyone is mesmerized. Remember that people ran out of the theater when they saw the train coming at them, in one of the first movies. You can't judge those kids as if they were modern kids of the

I think that when you say "adult", you're referring to a very reasonable and mature kind of being that does not match almost any of the adults that I know :)

Yes, this war that is brewing looks like it could become extremely interesting if only Korra would get frozen inside an iceberg for 100 years. I don't even hate Korra, the way so many people seem to, but not having a fully avatared Avatar in the story made it feel like everyone was playing with normal dice, instead of

Even if they didn't know how badly she wanted to die, they should have known that there would be a rescue attempt and that someone capable of fending off an enemy commando should have been there full-time.

Plus, it's a 7-year tribulation. There's still plenty of time to release them.

12 centuries is a pretty close rough approximation of Pompeii's ransack of Jerusalem?

Five more seasons would be the worst possible outcome, since they're witnessing a 7-year event. We would totally miss the conclusion!

Nah, even halfway through her meltdown, I was already already sold on that "yes way, I would I follow that nutty chick into the parking lot."

We already know that Varrick isn't pure, since he was part of the group that plotted the kidnapping of their (supposedly) rightful leader. Of course, in his case, it was all forgotten because his Mendoza really was shown to be a drug dealer.

He talked to Klaus like that because he has a ridiculously powerful witch who can defeat all the originals combined… or, at least, he thinks she can.

I haven't read any SHIELD comics myself, but I know they're an ancient, respected franchise. However, every time they have crossed into one of the comics I read, I can't help but think, "these guys are nazis." And Marvel seems to playfully embrace this concept and they wink back at you and whisper, "yes, they are

When Walt was talking to Skyler in the kitchen he looked so eerily similar to Tommy Lee Jones.

Not just Amon himself, but the entire conflict of benders Vs non-benders. Sure, it was completely ignored/trivialized at the end, but throughout the season, you kept expecting it to be awesomely complex.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't mention that, besides the facial expressions, there haven't been the comedic body language scenes either, like the "I'm looking at you" hunching when Korra leaves Chief Bei-fong's office.
