I demand a Meat Cute-centered spin-off.

This reminds me of a pretty good (!?) gag from American Dad where Stan and Klaus switch bodies, and Klaus tries to trick Francine and Hayley, but they figure it out within ten seconds of him opening his mouth. Totally derailed the whole plot.

Big Henry 2014-2014, never forget

Exactly. There's no reason to think any of that was actually happening - as we saw the night before, Bill can make the transition between the dream world and real world go unnoticed.

Taking away bending is a facet of spiritbending, which she does in the S2 finale to beat Unavaatu even after losing access to her past lives and the Avatar spirit.

Balance isn't a state, it's a process. The Avatar sticks around to help keep the world on track and help it back when it goes off the rails, not to create utopia.

Exactly. As Jinora says: "We have power together." I thought that was one of the big thematic payoffs this episode.

ANYTHING.

No way, she's totally a metalhead.

Just wait until they introduce Magnetbending.

The airship escape is also what sold me. While Bo Lin and Mako were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, Asami and Korra were demonstrating resolve, resourcefulness, and general badassery.

I'll go down with the Korrasami ship, but before this episode I thought it was just a beautiful dream. Now I wouldn't be totally shocked if it's a major Book 4 plot point.

This shouldn't even be a question, but obviously Candy/Dipper needs to be called Smile Dip.
