Well, he dose join the Illuminati.

Yea I just watched it again. SMH. I forgot it was banned. As for The Red Lotus they could have been around for a while.

Sun Bending!

I would agree but Azeula wasn't secretive about lightning bending in public. Outside of Hama and the gang who knew about bloodbending? It's not like Katara and friends would go around talking about it.

Do we know all red Lotus are anarchist? We don't really know much about Yakone. Maybe hes tryiing to become crime Lord at the behest of the Red Lotus. Maybe he was a footsolder. Maybe he's like Micheal Moore not a fan of capitalism but still has 9 homes.

Sometimes people start ideological but then they have to live in the real world. They get older. They need cash. Besides maybe he was just a hired gun. Anarchist not big on authority, crime bosses not big on authority. Not a huge leap. He did have to learn blood bending from somewhere.

I kinda like it. Building connections between characters like this I think makes for a more interesting backstory. Like Zaheer is actually an integral part of this world not just some guy who poped up to mess with Korra. I wonder if Yakone was a member as well and that's how he learned bloodbending.

I basically wrestled A.) To make my dad happy. B) I liked pro wrestling and at 13 was 100% convinced I was going to be a prowrestler. Why I quit. A) I was becoming increasing unhappy with my dad.

Zaheer was in a high security prison. He is obviously a highly talented martial artist and well versed in air bending. Like you said about wrestlers once you're trained in one thing it's easier to pick up other disciplines. I hear the same thing is true with languages. If he was that good at other martial arts and…

Maybe these new binders were affiliated with Yakone in the past.

Anng mastered 3 elements in what a year? And Jon Jones learned to fight from watching youtube videos. If you met a ufc fighter on the streets and you felt you're life was in danger you might be able to fight them off. "Training is nothing. Will is everything"- Ras al Ghul-

Agreed. Except I don't think it's a coincidence. Bending is supposed to be spiritual so he may have intuitively been attracted to airbending philosophies because he was a latent air bender. Besides you would be surprised at how quickly you can master something if you had no distractions and a lot of motivation.

Loved the new episodes. Although every time I hear rebirth of a nation it makes me think of Birth of a Nation. It that's an intentional reference that's the most subversive thing Nick has done since the theme song of Pete and Pete.

I don't she herd his voice. I think there was something in the room that Hannibal used as a trigger so when Chilton was interrogated she would put his voice/face in place of Hannibals.
