Its really better than the show.

Seriously. The show needs to stop doing this crap. Two years into the apocalypse people should not be acting like that. Yeah, scream if you're bit, that's natural. Scream for help if you know someone is nearby. But maybe run through the available opening instead if its available?

That might be my favorite line reading of Community history. Just the way that Donald got all serious, pointed in that guy's face, and let his voice drop when he said, "cuz your views are wrong."

I am far from a walking dead apologist; I've had very serious issues with the show (although I still derive joy from watching it). And while I do agree this episode wasn't perfect (Lizzie's psychological condition seemed to hasten improbably fast), I have a hard time believing most other episodes of this season were…

I don't think they can. As someone trying to break into screenwriting, there are so many baffling writing decisions made on this show.

How is that funny or okay? Is Troy alive? Harmed? He didn't deserve this!

What?

I can't remember any spirits who talked in Avatar except for the face spirit spider who creeped me the eff out.

I think we're both right. It was a logical thing for Unalaq to do, but from a writing standpoint it definitely would have been more interesting for another route to be taken. No argument on that.

Why the heck is everyone so reasonable in this comments section?

Well I meant in the very beginning, when he was having dinner with everyone. But yeah, I can see his motivation being destruction of the world. Not a great motivation by any means, but it's possible.

You're totally right that it doesn't make logical sense. But most people don't respond logically when a child is at stake.

If Korra hadn't attacked the woodchucks then she wouldn't have been separated from Jinora. I'll admit that Unalaq still could have overpowered Korra and took Jinora away since neither can bend in the spirit world, though.

I agree with dampersand. It's definitely cliched and overused, but it's an impossible situation. Yes, logically, Korra should have known that it's not worth Jinora's life to risk the entire world. But even knowing that, you'd have to be really cold to condemn a child to death. Not sure if I could do it.

Usually, though, aren't religious zealots pretty open in their zealotry? In the first few episodes Unalaq did a pretty good job of seeming religious but not crazy.

Ascites. Sorry, vet student.

I think in this second season they would be willing let anything slide, though. I mean, within reason (no mass murders on screen or anything). In the season premiere they heavily implied an innocent guy drowned. Heck, I thought they might even kill Korra for a second at the end there. Just because they've gotten…

Also not trying to be hostile or anything, Tearinitup. But usually if you look over a huge cliff you stand a little back. She was right up at the edge, close enough where her tear fell over. That's a small detail, but I think those last few scenes of season one were all about the small details.

It makes sense to me. Iroh's biggest regret was probably the Siege of Ba Sing Sei. It killed his son and many Earth nation soldiers, who he now knows were on the good side of that war. Indeed he fought the Fire Nation to free Ba Sing Sei in the finale.
