I was sticking to the Moffat era. But you are correct.

Also, Aang’s kids were well handled in Book 2. It makes sense that Aang would favor his air-bender son—it humanizes him by making him a flawed person, and it rings true. The way Tenzin came to terms with his father’s legacy in the Fog of Souls was also great.

ZHU LI—DO THE THING!

It never bothered me that much either. I guess it’s a minor narrative weakness, but the finale gets everything else so perfectly right that it really comes off as a blip.

Awkward Zuko is best Zuko.

It introduced Varrick--that’s something.

2 and 3 of Avatar and 3 and 4 of Korra are all genuinely great seasons of tv to me.

I don’t either in theory. It seems like it would de-mystify the Avatar universe.

I recently did a marathon from The Boy in the Iceberg to The Last Stand. After not having seen either show since they aired, I gotta say, the last two seasons of Korra were fantastic. It doesn’t hold up as well as Avatar does taken as a whole, mainly due to its extremely flawed second season and the strange ending to A…

PoI succeeds where it matters most—the characters, the world-building, the plotting—in fact, it succeeds in those areas more than almost any other show that tried to tell one over-arching story. People complained a lot about the expository dialogue, and fair enough. But almost everything good about Westworld is…

And it only got cancelled because Whedon asked for an early renewal.....

The Painted Lady is pretty weak. Not even bad in an entertaining way like The Great Divide...just dull.

The 4-part finale was fantastic. Even the Lion Turtle doesn’t diminish it. The Zuko/Azula battle is some of the best animated tv ever.

If I remember right though, Book 2 did have an awesome Spirited Away homage.

Any discussion of Avatar’s best episodes limited to 10 will always be wanting.

Avatar also took a decent amount of time in its first season to get really good.

Salute the rank, not the man.

Many people weren’t that satisfied with Season 9, especially coming off of the stellar 8th season. I thought it had some standouts, but the long-running story they attempted fell a little flat. It was one of the weaker seasons overall, I think, down there with Season 7 (revised CN version with ends with The Thin…

Next special! We’ve got one about BMO, one about Marceline, one about Peppermint Butler, and the final one about Finn and Jake. They’re spoiling us.

Does BoJack count as a sitcom?
