So, the two forms we saw of Hei Bai in Avatar were its normal light spirit self (panda) and its angered dark spirit self (monster)?

So, the first Avatar was basically Aladdin?

I always thought that the earthbenders learned earthbending from the badgermoles, and so on with air and sky bisons, fire and dragons, and water and "The Serpent's Pass" water creatures. I guess that benders learned bending from the lionturtles (like Aang learned energybending from one) and then honed their skills

Did anyone else think of Samurai Jack and "The Birth of Evil" a little?

Damon and Elena are now Team Free Will. Woohoo! :-)

Abigail's decision to accept guilt for Titus's murder at the end of the episode really moved me. "Poison Pen" was powerfully emotional.

I was also confused by the whole alive, dead, and in between stuff. So, there's different little worlds where the dead go, like Roanoke is its own land of the dead, and Crane's wife Katrina is in Moloch's Purgatory. (I got the impression that there may be other Purgatories.) And the Roanoke dead can go back to the

When Sleepy Hollow called one of the Horsemen Conquest, I thought we would be getting one of the less common interpretations, with Conquest as Antichrist or something, but no, apparently Conquest is just another word for Pestilence.

I had the same reaction as a lot of people: Yay, Bombshell! What?! Hit List? Why on Earth?!

"No, you're thinking of Asami, selling her attack biplanes and mecha-tanks." True.

I get why Beifong is mad at Mako, but why isn't she mad at the two stupid cops who keep razzing him? Have they solved the case yet?

Varrick's Role in the Interrogation Scene: Distract, Distract, Distract!

I appreciate the Angel reference.  :-)

Varrick is basically an arms dealer, right?

Here's hoping that Amnesia Korra is better than Regular Korra and turns into an even better New Korra.

I didn't like Bolin's pursuit of Ginger either. Perhaps part of it, aside from "Bolin is now a moron," is that Bolin is one of the first movie stars in one of the first movies ever and he is having difficulty separating both his identity from his character's and Ginger (the actress)'s identity from Ginger (the

So if I've seen the old New Directions, I'm getting nothing new from the new New Directions?

Yeah, I'm weird like that.  :-)

I was singing songs to myself during the commercial break, probably to distract myself from my Finn sadness since I was watching this episode alone in the dark, and I found myself singing among other things a surprisingly poignant mashup of "Scarborough Fair / Canticle" and "Fly like an Eagle" and Vanessa Williams's

I was very impressed with this episode of Glee, with Burt and Carole, Kurt, Rachel, Santana, Sue, Will, etc.
